Kimbo should have took the Tae Bo lane from Billy Blanks and rebrand it like NY park workouts or the prison style wave for the urban market.
Shyt woulda been serious. Kimbo in the durag doin' dips, shadowboxing, doin' meal preps and hittin' the community gardens. The Kimbo Fit System.

He definitely could have eaten off the current wave.

I'm sayin', he could have been the wave.
When YouTube wasn't monetized.
He could have got in at the start and got in on the bootleg market.
Drop four hour-long fitness videos to build the brand and eat.
Build his brand and transition to fight commentary.
Kimbo was a untapped personality.
He got his ass beat by that cop

Wish he had just stayed in the backyard bare knuckle format instead of getting exposed in the UFC
He could had monetized it and got more money out of a trend he helped popularize
I was just watching this last night

LOL yo I'm crying..breh put his hands up likeI ain't fighting no nikka with hair on their traps.
Taking ole boy punches while yelling "That's all you got. This shyt is over."
He didn’t get “exposed’ in the UFC. He was a 40 something year old street fighter with no training and walked in to win several fights. The only thing that got exposed was the UFC skill requirement. Could never happen in boxing.

Kimbo was actually ahead of his time. He'd be bigger if he came out now. What he pulled off even then was impressive. A lot like Mike Tyson the man was a warrior poet. He would be on fight podcasts, doing protein powder adverts. He'd be a fitness influencer or something like that now.
