Seth Petruzelli Paid Off By EliteXC?
According to Seth Petruzelli during his interview on Florida radio show, Monsters Morning Show, EliteXC “promoters kind of hinted to me and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him [Kimbo Slice]. They didn’t want me to take him down — let’s just put it that way. It was worth my while to try to stand up and punch with him.” In response to this allegation, Head of Fight Operations for EliteXC Jeremy Lappen told Sherdog we “Obviously we didn’t pay [Petruzelli] to stand”… “Kimbo had trained for months to fight a guy who’s fighting on the ground. We don’t care if people stand or take people down or what. It doesn’t matter to us. All we want is an exciting fight.”
