From what I hear, they get rights to 500,000 stocks of EliteXC for every show. CBS would be giving up a lot, the UFC won’t give up any production rights, they are already doing well on Spike.

I don't really see what EXC has that UFC desperately needs. Sure there are some names they could pick up and make into stars but it's not like they have anything huge that the UFC might need.

EliteXC's awful freakshow is not cutting it.CBS realizes this and is now going for UFC, for the real deal, and real ratings. If this goes through, lights out EliteXC, I give you about six months at the most. UFC on CBS? Then it will only be UFC and nobody else. Nuff said. Shocking, why am I not surprised at all.

And if/when this happens I would put money on it that Kimbo does not pursue a career in mma. Because after this last donkey match he has to fight real fighters of a competitive age. I put money that Kimbo goes on to WWE or TNA. Kimbo is spectacle, sure, but a mma fighter, not really. When he is forced to actually fight he will choose scripted wrestling over real fights Also….If CBS shuts out their relationship with Elitexc, I give ELite 6 months unitl they are done.

Even CBS realizes what a rickety ship EliteXC is steering. I hope they realize that Kimbo on the main card for every event possible against the oldest, most out of shape, recognizable names in mma is not the image of mma, nor the ratings they could get with the UFC. I really hope this is true. I am just so curious to see just how many viewers the UFC could get on FREE tv!! If circus freakshow can get 6 million....I would bet that if the UFC stacked the first card on CBS they could draw double that, easily That would kick so much ass in so many different ways!!!
