The pageantry surrounding the "Kimbo Slice" character is the charade. What don't you understand about that?
I'd look at this differently if Kevin Ferguson didn't appear to be trying to take the sport seriously. At the same time, he'd be an idiot not to try to capitalize on the character. If people are going to buy into it, that's not his fault by any means. I mean shit, people buy J-Lo albums and even she knows she can't sang, lol ...
The people that bought into it based solely on clips from youtube are just as responsible for how they're feeling now (if they're mad). Also, don't underestimate the fact that there are people out there that just happen to like a good story. From youtube to primetime is a good story to some people.
When words like charade and sham get tossed around, it's implied that there was intentional deception somewhere. You're a moron if you assumed that Kimbo could magically come from youtube into MMA and dominate.
I wasn't saying you in particular was gettin mad. No need to tell me about your weekend, lol
