The beacon of truth known as Media Take Out is reporting Mike Tyson and EliteXC have come to an agreement for him to fight Kimbo Slice.
May 15, 2008. The fight world is about to change. MediaTakeOut.com just EXCLUSIVELY learned that former heavyweight boxing champ has tentatively agreed to fight internet streetfighter Kimbo Slice under ProElite’s live fight division, EliteXC.
According to an insider at the company, Mike and Kimbo are set to fight “late this year or early next.” But first things first, Kimbo has to win his fight next Saturday night against James “Colossus” Thompson. A fight that or insider claims is “going to be tough.”
This fight will not take place for three reasons:
1. Mike Tyson hasn’t faught in years, and he’s fat now. You can’t roll off the couch and decide to knuckle up with someone who’s been training and fighting like a madman for the last 2 years.
2. Mike Tyson isn’t interested in the limelight anymore. During this E:60 Interview a few weeks ago, he seemed happy to be away from boxing and just wanted a normal life. He expressed frustration at being recognized and idolized (or vilified ) at every turn. Although he probably needs the money, I doubt he signed this deal.
3. This fight isn’t beneficial for Kimbo Slice to take. Sure, it would make him shitloads of money as well as raising public awareness, but if he wants the world of MMA to take him seriously he should focus on fighting established guys. I don’t throw around the word “circus” often, but thats exactly what this game would be.
With all that said… IF this is true, I would sadly still tune in. I can’t help it. TYSON VS. KIMBO BABY.
This article over on Bleacher Report highlights a semi disturbing trend concerning the Jazz fans.
Utah fans have been overheard chanting “CANCER” when Derek Fisher touches the ball. Fisher’s baby daughter suffers from retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer.
As Derek Fisher went to the line to shoot free throw after a technical foul, a fan behind the basket covered his right eye and began screaming at the Lakers’ point guard.
It doesn’t end there folks.. During the 2007 playoff series between Golden State and Utah, a few Warriors players recalled hearing racial insults from the stands.
When asked the difference between playing on the road and at home during the series against the Jazz, Warrior’s forward Stephen Jackson said, “”Well, we’re not hearing racial slurs, we’re not hearing people wishing for me to go to jail,” Jackson said. “That’s the difference for me. I’m loved here in Oakland.”
Jason Richardson was asked about the racial slurs and responded, “That was something new. It shocked all of us. We weren’t expecting that. I mean, [Jazz fans] were trying to get into our heads any way they can, but I couldn’t believe anybody would stoop that low. It’s nonsense.”
I suggest you head over to the Bleacher Report to read the entire thing. Feel from to drop a few comments and let me know what you think.
In this clip from Kim Kardashian’s show, she undergoes treatment to remove cellulite from her thighs, then does a special photo shoot.
Reggie Bush appears during the photo session and looks extremely uncomfortable while his girlfriend seductively poses. Kim mentions that Reggie is uneasy with the situation while Bush stands in the corner semi-pouting. (you can view the photos from the following vid in THIS post)

Everyone knows Snoop Dogg is a huge fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, he may not be attending as many games as Jack Nicholson but he reps the purple big time (in more ways than one).
Snoop includes names of just about all of the Lakers in the song, complete with shout outs to the late Chick Hearn. There’s even a little jab at the end about Shaquille O’Neal sitting at home on his couch while the lakers are still in contention. Somehow I wish Shaq was still playing, otherwise I may not have had to post that video of him mooning the camera. I’m still having nightmares.
