Riddick Bowe To Make MMA Debut

**BoomBoom** · 11-09-2007 02:58 AM

On Dec. 12. I cant find the link but he announced it himself. He must need money or something. He couldnt even dedicate himself to his ill fated boxing comeback. He will probably have the same fate as Mercer and then hopefully he will realize that he should fight any more. Or better, maybe he can fight Mercer and the loser has to announce his retirement. Could actually make for a interesting tournament if you throw in a few other names.

cc for the link Dean. The good thing is he seems to have given up on his boxing comeback, so when he fails at MMA he will have to stop, or turn to kick boxing but I doubt he can even lift his leg up at this point.

Sad to hear Bowe could of been one of the best Heavyweights of all time and he is reduced to this ??

Great another old boxer they can say " see a boxer can't make it in mma " This may be right up there for all time sports events that nobody gives a crap about that and maybe professional cheese racing.

Yeah, one of my favorite heavies and this reduction of self by fighting in MMA borders on criminal. Shame on the people who are allowing this to take place. The guy can barely make coherent sentences, but someone sees fit to let him take a chance on getting punched in the head some more? Exploitation if you ask me!! Who's he going to fight, Tommy Morrison? It would be laughable if it didn't ring true.

I heard about this a bit ago when it was just a rumor...To be honest it makes me totally sick!!!! The fact these promoters would allow such a thing....Do you think the guy is going to draw that much money?....Maybe as a freak show or those who want to see how bad he is beaten!!!!.....'

I don't care if it draws $1Mil extra it is a CRIME!!!!!..........I don't care if the man needs the money or otherwise...WTF is he going to do with the few thousand he gets off of it by time all is said and done?....

Probably gone to bill collectors before he even gets paid....Lotta Fucking good any of that is if he ends up a comatosed life support needing shell of a body.....

Mercer is bad enough but Bowe is freaking practically helpless against any athleate in fair condition...This makes me SICK, SICK, SICK!!!!!!
