Wow, they just linguistically molested Kj Noons with the butt-end of a pool cue with (of course) NO lube.
Its really hard to argue against graciemag tho, IMO they make a ton of valid points.

1) Earth to KJ; you don't have a boxing career. No one in the boxing world knows who you are.
2) Another MMA company would have paid you less and not given you a title shot, especially when you were 1-1.
3) If you will not fight Diaz due to a breach of contract by EliteXC then why would you fight Alvarez for the same terms?

I dont know much about his boxing career, but he deffinatly would be getting paid way less and would prolly not have gotten a title shot with a 1-1 record in a different org. They call him out on fighting Alvarez too.

2) Your contract was for Showtime. Diaz and Shields both signed longer deals for CBS. Nathan Diaz signed a special long term contract for Spike TV etc... This is a business not Burger King, you can't have it 'your way'.

Didnt know about the whole "Special contract", if it is true they burned him again, either way the buger king line made me smile.

1) Promoters will sue when you don't fulfill the terms of your contract, just ask Randy Couture. By the way, you are not Randy Couture and the fight world is not holding it's breath waiting to see if you will fight again.

2) $83,000? There are several fighters that are a lot better than you fighting for a lot less. Pay your dues and quit being a little bitch.

1) It is not up to you to decide who the #1 contender is. That is EliteXC's sole discretion. Patrick Cote will soon be fighting Anderson Silva at the UFC's sole discretion. Silva is not complaining because he fights whomever they put in front of him. Silva fought Rich Franklin after wrecking him the 1st time. Serra rematched GSP his very next fight after demolishing him. Serra got paid less than GSP even though he was the Champion after the 1st fight. These men are true Champions and fight anyone. This is a concept you cannot seem to grasp

In short, I agree with almost everything they through at Noons, Good post!

Diaz is lucky to have gotten attention in the UFC before the sport really took off and real fighters came about.
if he was never in the UFC nobody would even know who he is, he needs to realize he's not even a good fighter, he's just a name that promoters can make a buck off whether he wins or loses. |
Diaz a nobody? For someone whose beat Chris Lytle, Ko'd Robbie Lawler, Finished Drew Fickett by TKO, Sub'd Josh Neer and Sub'd Gomi, I wouldnt exactly call him a nobody.You wanna call him an inconsistant fighter or maybe even a gate keepper sure, but not exactly a nobody.
BUT KJ NOONS on the other hand is 7-2, and the only W's that stand out is a
cut-win over Diaz and a crazy TKO of Yves Edwards, Diaz got him beat by
MILES
And
"Diaz is lucky to have gotten attention in the UFC before the sport really took off and real fighters came about. if he was never in the UFC nobody would even know who he is, "
Do you have any clue what you talking about?? Out of Nick's 26 fights, 10 of them have been with the UFC bud, and out of those 10 fights hes lost 4 of them. So by you saying that he made his name with the UFC and without the UFC he'd be a nobody shows me that you have no clue what your talking about so I guess I answered my own question
