I can't stand Gary Shaw and the circus he has recently brought to EliteXC. EliteXC was a much better product before he focused the entire league on the farce that is Kimbo. EliteXC has a very solid stable of fighters that will thankfully outshine Kimbo soon enough. I have seen every minute of every EliteXC card and its quite sad that the jump suit wearing boxing promoter has taken center stage and sunk his teeth into it.
It can do much better than Kimbo and strippers dancing. Its very low class and all the criticisms I have read in regards to MMA from what they saw on CBS is well deserved. I can't blame a single person for thinking its trash because thats exactly what it was.
But sports fans in general tend to have short memories and this will move on when a better product hits the main stage.
I can be a fan of EliteXC and look past Shaw and Kimbo. I love the sport much more than anything negative either can or will do.
This doesn't even make sense...Zombie? MMA fans tear into their sport criticizing it constantly wanting to see improvements in every aspect of the sport while its still shaping.
