The only bad part about CBS running the show is that we will likely see multiple “Vote for Obama” banners pasted over everything….sigh. lol

shaw has be fukkin up lately on the boxing side… he had two of his really good boxing prospects pretty much dump him (contractually) cause he wasnt following through on offering them the right amount of fights for the year… nonito donare (who smoked his other cash cow darchyinan and james kirkland who is a bad mofo)

i guess mma was his top priority .. but i guess its back to boxing… this is probally a power play on cbs part…

Thank god, I was having a bad day until I read this.
I just hope they get a good MMA guy, and don’t go looking for some other boxing promoter to fill his spot.

@#1

I agree. I don’t know how to feel about this. Slimey promoter to be booted or mega-corp running mma promotion behind closed doors.

Sounds like CBS wants to clean up the EliteXC image – no more post-fight brawls reminiscent of boxing. I’m convinced that stuff was contrived to boost interest in upcoming fights.

Who knows if this is true, but if true it’s a cautionary tale for White and the UFC. Sell your soul for a network deal, and sooner or later the devil will come to collect.

I’ll give Shaw credit for admitting that he’s a promoter of entertainment and not neccessarily interested in putting on the best fights.
Not many guys will admit that.
