What does that say about boxing? That it is easier?
He mugged MMA fans by bringing the hype of his youtube videos to them and milking it for all he could before he was exposed.

Now that they've seen through that he's doing the same with boxing. Milking what little hype he has left.

As for what it says about boxing - if Andrew Hartley and Charlie Zelenoff can get carded then so can Kimbo... He's barely fighting above that level.

He went for MMA first because there he was an unknown quantity - along with half the bodies and guys he fought... So it was easier to make more money before hitting any legit competition (as far as hype goes - dana still let him on ufc after what was a dire career)

In boxing he was and is a nobody, last chance saloon now... Can't blame the guy for milking what little interest he has left against club fighters.
