    I'm hearing Showtime is blocking this.

    How can they? Are fighters under contract with Showtime or Strikeforce?

    Diaz signed a multi fight, multi year contract with the UFC and there is an option for him to still fight in Strikeforce. Which I doubt will ever happen. His old contract is dead, and he was not under any sort of contract with Showtime so they have no say in any of this. It was just a rumor that they were trying to prevent this, they were not nor can they.

    Yeah it makes no sense for showtime to even have a say. their contract is production. Nothing about fighters.

    Exactly, they have a contract to air strikeforce events and that is all.

    Can't blame GSP for not wanting to fight Anderson Silva. Guess it's no different than Anderson Silva not wanting to fight Jon Jones.

    Deal for Nick is supposedly 1 million + 2 dollars per PPV buy for the GSP fight.

    Dude, theoretically is going to make 2.5 million dollars to get laid on for 25 minutes. Weird, but hey at least boxing fans can appreciate MMA fighters getting paid more finally. :dunno:
