"Honor my contract. Elite XC wants to talk about honoring the contract. How about when Elite XC honored the contract and my pay to fight Edson Berto went down after I lost my first fight. That was not part of my contract. Or how about the contract Gary Shaw breached by not promoting my boxing career? Gary Shaw only gave me one out of four of the agreed upon fights. I have not boxed for over a year. When I signed with Elite XC, I was promised they would promote both my boxing and MMA careers. I could have signed with another MMA only company, but I wanted to box too." http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=2089461 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=2089461 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:17:00 EST To quote Kevin Nash, from a recent interview with the Baltimore Sun, "The only control I have in TNA is to monitor what I do physically.
