kimbo and thompson didnt know

Their fight was definitely a work. But I don't think they knew or participated. People are saying that the ref was paid off, but i don't think he knew either. Others are saying it was orchestrated by gary shaw, but I also believe that he didn't even know it was fixed.

so you think it was a work but you dont think either fighter the ref or the promoter was in on it, so if none of them were in on it then who does that leave

So who the fuck was in on the work? Vince Mcmahon & Brett Michaels?

Don't be stupid; this can be done by promoters, sponsors. The fact of the matter is Kimbo winning is better business for everyone. Kimbo doesn't even have to care, he's making other people plenty of money just by winning.
