Not sure about Shaw, but DeLuca is actually staying as a consultant and was part of making the decision. I've heard that he's actually in a special committee now. DeLuca appears to be the main person in negotiations with CBS and Showtime and actually, as i understand it, he brought ProElite to the table and was the driving force. However, he also had other work obligations. Only time will tell, and in the mean time mma forum going fans will continue gossipping w/o knowing the real truth. ^^ Kelvin in that one you might be completely wrong.

It's easier (less likely to go to court) to encourage them (basically give them no choice in the matter) to step down and pay them money for consulting (keeping their fat mouths shut and staying out of the way) than to actually fire someone for incompetence.

As much as people hated track suit wearing Gary Shaw, what some of you need to realize is that he is a promote and he knows how promote. Godd or bad the man knows promotion. Unlike some posters I do not sit aty home wishing and organizatons go belly up. fewer organization mean fewer opportunities for fighters. This could be either good or bad for Pro Elite. I'll wait and see. Be careful what you wish for Elite XC haters.

CBS is gonna drive the organization into the ground." Or they can make it legit, take it over, and make it huge. They will be advertising during their Survivor and other hot shows, as well as the football season, so we will see. More people should be exposed to EliteXC very soon. “I hate Gary Shaw with a passion, but the guy knows promotion. CBS is gonna drive the organization into the ground.”

This has to be embarassing for Gary Shaw to step down after such a colossal failure (pardon the Thompson pun). I'm a little bit upset that his sniveling little turd of a son isn't gone yet, but hey Rome wasn't built in a day right? I agree with Rich S.

Did Gary Shaw bang your girlfriend while sitting on your pillow? You my friend need to take a deep breathe and repeat this, "Gary Shaw is not the devil". :) Anyway, EliteXC's future is looking better all the time. #2 – Wow.

FINALLY!!!!! .... oh man! EXC may not be dying in a few weeks after all. These are the best news for MMA in 2008 so far (though it would have been funnier if Shaw had just died, but good enough). Now, with a respectable man leading the way for EXC, we can only hope that kimblow gets his ass fired. This is one huge step for the betterment of the sport. I look forward to EXC finally presenting more decent cards on TV. WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Grary Shaw got demoted hahahahahahaha YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! oh fuck yes!!! FINALLY!!!!! …. oh man!
