i dont think he took a dive either there was no phantom punch or anything like that he pulled a james thompson,running at his opponent like a idiot and the punch mixed with his momentum did him in actually kimbo probably had just as much to do with the ko as seth.

i just dont see the whole “Kimbo took a dive” thing, what did anyone have to gain by Kimbo getting KOed and quick? unless Kimbo wanted to kill his own hype and fad away, but i doubt that seeing as hes probably making more money now then hes even made in the past. fighters dont just lose fights on purpose just for something to do, they need something to give them a reason and i just cant think of a legit motive for Kimbo to throw the fight. i think people are looking to deep into this, sometimes a crappy punch lands on the right spot with just enough force and boom your sleeping (or almost there) it doesnt take a huge amount of force to KO someone you just need everything to line up right, or the other guys has his mouth open, or he hasn’t been hit clean enough times before, or hes suffered a resent concussion. i dont know its just the way i see it anyways.

Richard, I agree somewhat. If elite xc wants to have really any hope of thriving or even staying afloat they are gonna need to do one of two things,
1) Like you said start marketing to hardcore fans
2) Fully merge with Affliction not just this small one fight deal, Im talking a full buy-out merger. This would give the combined promotion a deeper roster of bigger names as well as a larger bankroll to do more. IMO

i dont think elitexc is done they need to start making these superfights happen to get hardcore fans watching, FU*CK all these kimbo fans if they start marketing to use hardcore fans who could care less if kimbos fighting or not then i think they might have a chance
