Shaw out at EliteXC?

[iceman]

Speculation within the MMA industry suggests that Gary Shaw's days at ProElite may be numbered. Rumors suggest that Shaw may be out by the end of the summer, possibly soon after the July 26 CBS event. Multiple sources have told MMAPayout.com that the expected move is another example of CBS's growing influence on the company. Santa Monica Capital Partners, the largest shareholder in the company, is also believed to have taken a more active role in the company of late.

Under terms of its deal with ProElite, CBS is entitled to purchase 500,000 shares of stock in the company each time it broadcasts a show on CBS. Based on those options and warrrants already exercised in conjunction with the CBS and Showtime deals, CBS Corporation is believed to be the second largest shareholder in the company.

They should wait and see what happens with the second CBS show first. That was one of the bad things about getting in bed with a large corporation, they will throw their money around and run things their way.

See ya. He's had his chance. I hope this rumor is true. CBS will make Elite much more entertaining, Shaw hasn't done jack.

After the first CBS debacle, I had washed my hands of Elite XC. Removing Gary Shaw may be enough to get me back. I think the guy is dirty and strategizes his promotions through gimicks rather than building the reputations of quality fighters. His ways are only going to bring down the sport. Apparently, I'm not the only one who sees this.

Well this next CBS on is going to have 3 title fights on it. That is crazy. When was the last time the UFC had 2 on a card. Plus, Elite's is going to be free

I think that Shields would beat any WW in the UFC outside of GSP. He would give Fitch a very god fight, but I think that he is better. He would just kill Diego, Kos, Karo, Alves, etc.
