I suggest you learn about the sport.
Elite XC has poured millions of dollars into marketing Kimbo, who everyone knows is horrible, and should not be considered a fighter at all, just so they can get viewers. They made it a point to have him on all of their big and or CBS cards. The company was on Kimbo's back. Their plan was to dupe the casual fan into thinking Kimbo was any good, when, he wasn't, and everyone who knows even a little about MMA, or fighting in general, knew it. Kimbo was there only draw. It's as simple as that.
The EliteXC cards without Kimbo, get dog shit ratings. They even made it a point to make Kimbo the main event, on every one of their cards, when he hasn't ever fought a top 75 HW.
Kimbo losing, as we all know he would, was a gigantic disaster for Elite XC, as they have NOBODY now. AA will end up fighting Barnett for Afflication, and I doubt Tito will sign with them.
In terms of throwing fights, I suggest you look at some of Kimbo's other ones. Such as the fight where James Thompson had Kimbo's arms trapped for 2 minutes, yet the ref, who is good friends with Skala (and was in pictures on his Myspace prior), let Kimbo take the unanswered blows, until the round ended. That, is completely against the rules. Then the moment James Thompson was hit, he stopped the fight. Even though James as standing, smacked the ref for it, and was lol'ing at the post fight presser, where they also said he was practically dead, until he piped up and said "umm, I am in the room, and I am fine".
Then you have the Bo Cantrel fight, where Kimbo hit him in the arm pit, and he jumped on the floor and started tapping. Only to be met with 2 illegal punches to the back of his head. He then hinted the he was paid to lose on mma.tv, but could not outright confirm.
Kimbo is a joke, and so is Elite XC. Shaw is known among the boxing community to be one of the sleeziest, cheapest, and dirtiest promoters in the world. When he says "I have never been caught fixing a boxing fight", he means to say he has never been convicted of it. As shows he happened to be the co-promoter on have had their decisions reversed and ref's expelled by the NSAC, due to the fix being in
