Rumors going around Tuesday night were that Gary Shaw would be slowly downsized in power at EliteXC after the July 26 show in Stockton, California. The rumor said he also would eventaully be phased out of power and fired, MMApayout.com was first to report the rumor. Jared Shaw, Gary Shaw's son had this to say about the rumors in a interview with MMArated.com.
"All the reports I have read have been absolutely erroneous. There’s no truth to CBS pushing Gary Shaw out or anything like that. Gary might not be as much in the limelight because of his other business, which is boxing. He’s also spending a little more time at home with the rest of his family. You’re going to see Jared Shaw everyday so you don’t have to think that Gary Shaw is gone. I don’t know why they would keep one Shaw and not another. We’re both here and Gary is still a major force. He’s still spoken to everyday…He’s a major part of this company and everything he’s done as a promoter we’ll continue to utilize and continue to follow his lead."
No one knows how true the rumors are but with CBS taking a now vested interest in EliteXC they may choose to go in a different direction for its viewers. Espec
ially since many fans have described the company as a circus and the WWE of MMA. One thing that is certain is that EliteXC will have an event on July 26 in Stockton, California.
