The controversy from EliteXC “Heat” has now become even more widespread as F4WOnline is reporting that Ken Shamrock was also being paid to stand up with Kimbo Slice:

For what it’s worth, we heard in the days leading up to the fight that Ken Shamrock was being paid to stand with him as well. It’s a pretty shady way of doing business, and while it’s not outright working the fight it is attempting to give one man an advantage — or a perceived advantage, as did didn’t help Kimbo one goddamn bit — over another.

The news comes on the heels of Seth Petruzelli disclosing that EliteXC also paid him to stand and trade with Slice. Only time will tell if anything comes from all of this, though, regardless of the ultimate outcome, this situation, coupled with Jared Shaw’s over-the-top reaction to Slice’s loss, paints a very poor picture of the struggling promotion.
