got this from www.sherdog.com May 12, 2004 Boxing’s Jose Sulaiman, the president of the scandalous World Boxing Council, erupted in anger when he heard that Mike Tyson had signed on to fight in K-1. He sent out some ignorant statement claiming that K-1 is an organization with no rules and has fighters with no skills. He said that K-1’s fights take humanity back to the days of the gladiators where the winner escaped with only his life. His statement ripped apart K-1 and the rest of the MMA world, an opinion obviously devoid of intellect. do you agree or disagree?
Disagree. The guy clearly has never seen a K1 competition. And if he has, then he must very very very very stupid. Hey...you dont think he could just be bitter, do you? *EDIT WHOOPS I voted who cares.
Disagree vehermently. I'm going to respectfully disagree with Semphoon though: I think he probably has seen a K-1 match and, much like the boxing governing bodies did at the UFC's beginning, he's lashing out in the press to get the righteous indignation lot on his side. That'll come in handy for when the boxing groups decide it's time to ban it in the states, and they'll probably try if K-1 do more than one show a year over there. They've hounded the UFC out of most of the states
just like what semphoon said, he could just be bitter. he said that k-1 has fighters with no skills huh? that's one big LIE. cro cop, ernesto hoost, peter aerts, musashi, etc. they're one of the best in the business. i totally disagree with his words.
My mistake. I interpreted that to mean the guy was bitter due to missing out on his cut of the ear-biting cash cow's next match. Tyson may not be a patch on his former self, but he still draws big. As for no skills in K-1? Ridiculous. That man should be forced to watch Remy Bonjaski or any of the other great fighters the company have. Even Bob Sapp is developing some skills!
yeah. well, as of now, the majority said that they disagree. im really happy with this. IMO, that comment is the result of pure frustration.
The only reason you're getting anyone agreeing with this is because the poll is on the front page, and allowing people to vote without seeing what the question is! I didn't know I could click on the title at first, so I just clicked "agree" and hit submit. Then I read it and went "Oh crap."
