Dana White is downright pissed off. Hes so mad at EliteXC in this video, one camera angle is insufficient for capturing his rage. He lays into EliteXC for the Seth Petruzelli knockout bonus scandal and suggests that Jeremy Lappen and the Shaws should look into the kickboxing business if they want to keep fights off the ground so badly. I couldnt agree more. For his part, EliteXC Head of Operations Jeremy Lappen changes his story yet again in a talk with AOL Fanhouse. First, Lappen told Si.com that Petruzelli was offered a knockout bonus, but the company doesnt offer submission bonuses. Then he told ESPN.com that Petruzelli was offered a KO bonus, a submission bonus, and a fight of the night bonus. Now he says both stories misquoted him: Theyre both wrong, Lappen said. We have given submission bonuses in the past but theyre not as common as knockout bonuses. If the question is, Have we ever given submission bonuses? The answer is yes. But we give knockout bonuses more often. We gave Seth a knockout bonus before the fight started. That was part of the deal. Hold up, you gave him a knockout bonus before the fight started? As in, before he had knocked anyone out? Goddammit Lappen, I sure as hell hope you were misquoted yet again. At the very least I hope its just poor phrasing on your part and what you meant to say was you told of him of a potential knockout bonus before the fight. But either way, its still bullshit. You offered him an incentive to win a fight in a very specific manner, not an incentive to simply finish the fight. Not to mention, this is the third time youve changed your story. Nobody gets misquoted this often. Not unless they keep changing their story so often that they cant keep all the versions straight in their own mind.
