Fightline.com: I'm sure your aware of the back-and-forth between Kimbo and
Chuck Liddell. What did you think of the comments that Liddell made about your fighter?
Gary Shaw: You know what, I try not to read to deep into anything anyone's writing or reading. That's basically it. I honestly try not to get to deep into analyzing this stuff. I have trouble psychoanalyzing myself. Here's my philosophy on life; I don't need a psychologist because I know I'm f*cked up. The people that need therapy are the ones who think they're normal.
Fightline.com: Sounds like a pretty solid philosophy Gary.
Gary Shaw: You like it? You can use it.
Fightline.com: Thanks. Speaking of psychology and therapy, there's been a lot of talk recently of a possible match up between Mike Tyson and your fighter, Kimbo Slice. Slice calls Tyson one of his hero's and a guy he'd love to fight. Any chance this thing actually gets done?
Gary Shaw: Absolutely. If Mike wants to fight in a cage, I'll put him in a cage and we'll do a Tyson fight...if Mike really wants to fight. I've represented Mike before; he knows how to find me.
Fightline.com: What about a straight boxing match between the two?
Gary Shaw: Straight boxing match? Yes.
Fightline.com: Really?
Gary Shaw: Yes. I'm a big time promoter. I would back Kimbo against anybody in the world, including the Klitschko's. He would knock any of those guys out.
Fightline.com: Wow. Any of those fights would be very interesting and likely draw very well.
Gary Shaw: Yep. Absolutely.
Fightline.com: Switching back to MMA for a second, Kimbo has been quoted as saying that he would literally give his left nut to fight Sean Gannon again. Gannon was the only fighter to have ever beaten Kimbo in a street brawl, but the fight was very controversial. Any chance we see the two of them go at it again?
Gary Shaw: Absolutely. That fight is first and foremost on our minds. If we can get Gannon in the cage for the right amount of money and it makes economic sense then we will do it.
Fightline.com: Can we expect to see this fight by the end of the year?
Gary Shaw: I don't know. I would hope so, yes. But I can't tell you definitely. It all comes down to money like anything else.
