I wonder if bas is getting compensated real good [money wise]. He sure does seem to be putting alot of time and effort into training kimbo. I wonder why he would not train a rising star who is younger and has more potential to be great or put on of those passed stars back in track to be great again. Just wonder why bas is putting so much time in this guy and i hope he's making good money doing it. because bas is a nice guy from what i saw when he got mark kerr back in track but then he blew it going back with his girl.
Ummmm, Bas said Kimbo is one of the best students he has EVER trained...
he;s old though 34
I bet Bas makes quite a bit of money by getting Kimbo fights & exposure.
He's a smart guy.
The hype Kimbo gets is more important than how good he actually does. Just look at how many Kimbo-threads there are on here, that's money.
Sometimes it's just about training someone that is willing to learn and is giving 110% of what they have.
34 is not old for a heavywieght
prob 10%
"BAS AINT DOING IT FOR NOTHING ! TRUST ME !"
I hope not.... he seems like a nice guy from what i saw in the kerr documentary...
thats why it would be good he gets something out of this rather than getting dicked over like when kerr stopped training with him in the documentary because of his kerr's fiance.
Kimbo = $
Bas gets a cut

If say you are a trainer and get a cut of what a fighter makes (like say 5%) would you rather have 5% of 2500 or 5% of 175,000? I have a feeling the guy is a hard worker and Bas genuinely likes/clicks with him. Those two things (good guy to work with and alot of money) would make any trainer put his all into a guy.
Bas & Kimbo will make money even if Kimbo loses half of his fights. Tank loses 9 of 10 and still makes money because he has a hard right hand and people might see a knock out.
Kimbo has two hard hands not just one and he is much more interesting and dangerous than Tank ever was. Kimbo = Kash, Bas knows what he's doing.
"34 is not old for a heavywieght"
Good to hear, 'cause at this rate, by the time I reach 34, I'll be a HW ;)
Bas is a very, very smart business man.
