ELITE XC PRESIDENT, GARY SHAW ON THE UFC NO LONGER BEING THE TOP FIGHTING ORGANIZATION, ON Cung Le BEING A TOP 10 FIGHTER, AND ON THE STATUS OF THE OFFER TO Fedor Emelianenko BY ELITE XC:
"They (UFC) got a hole in their dyke right now. It's leaking...No one organization owns the best fighters."
"(Rankings) are all bull___! He (Cung Le) was a top 10 fighter before he walked in the cage."
"He (Fedor) wants $2 million per fight. We keep going back and forth, but he has to fight soon. It's been almost 2 years."

Does Gary Shaw not know anything...Fedor fought on New Years Eve and Cung Le still isn't a top 10 fighter in my opinion because if Shamrock had any brains he'd have taken him down, winning is what matters not creating a show.

Fedor Emelianenko, the former PRIDE heavyweight champion who became a free agent after last week's surprising split from M-1 Global, is in negotiations with EliteXC, but his $2-million-per-fight asking price could keep a deal from being reached.
EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw confirmed the dollar figure during a recent interview that can be heard tonight (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) on with The Lights Out Show on the TAGG Radio Network, a content partner of MMAjunkie.
MMAjunkie reported last month that EliteXC had offered Emelianenko a four-fight, seven-figure deal that would put the fighter on the first two show EliteXC-CBS shows. He'd also get two pay-per-view slots and would share in a portion of the revenue.
Apparently, though, the deal -- which would give a base pay of approximately $300,000 to $500,000 per fight -- wasn't good enough.
"[Fedor] wants $2 million per fight," Shaw said. "We keep going back and forth, but he has to fight soon. It's been almost two years."
What a greedy fucking bastard, he want 2 million to be in the cage for a couple of minutes and annihilate cans? No matter what you say there is nowhere that would give Fedor competition except the UFC and then maybe he can talk about 2 mil per fight, not when his biggest competition is likley oh I don't know, Junior Silva?

The thing about this is imagine if the UFC signed him for that much what would guys like Liddell, Mir, Silva, Hughes, GSP, Penn, Sherk all of the UFC's top level fighters and big names think they get something like 500,000 at most and Fedor comes in and gets 2 million.
