Black people didn't give a fukk about kimbo, those that did however wanted him to join the boxing scene as it made more sense. White people were hyping him up because they wanted a big strong black guy heavyweight which the mma scene is lacking. Kimbo slice is the American bob sapp. Only popular because he fits a trope, the big savage gorilla black guy trope. shyt is a fantasy to racist people. They tried that shyt with jon jones, thats the only reason they want him to be a heavyweight. Roy jones jr fell for it and it fukked his whole career up.
