What Org would want to put up with another Drama Queen? A fighter who feels that he has to go stale mate with his president because he doesn't want to accept fights. This guy handling Noons is gonna drag Noon's name through the mud. This ain't a good stand point In my opinion.

Noons needs to come off this crap and defend against Diaz.

I tend to agree. But you have to remember, Mark Dion is a boxing manager first and foremost. This strategy is commonplace in boxing because there are so many options promotion wise that if you feel your contract is unfair (not enough $), you find a way to get out of it and negotiate elsewhere.

Noons is 7-1 as a boxer. Dion likely thinks he has a better future as that than as an MMA'er.

After this stunt, he may have a better future as a boxer. He'd get mauled in the UFC IMO. And honestly would Dana want him? Another whining baby? There is Dream in Japan. But if the money bugs him Dream ain't the way to go. They aren't the most generous on the payscale.

So KOTC, CageRage, ICON, and Spirit MC are all owned by ProElite. Noons won't be welcome at the sister companies after this since EliteXC is also owned by ProElite.

I don't know man, he may just have to pick boxing. This is the worst thing he could pull at the moment.

What has he really done in MMA?

Dana would sign KJ to the UFC, then he'd throw him right in there with the dogs just to see his gate-keeper destroy the best EXC has to offer, that's the way I see it playing out if he doesn't man up and fight Diaz again.

This could all be a ploy to have EliteXc rip up his contract. Noons manager could be thinking about jumping ship while EliteXc still has a name and using his champ status to score a big contract with the UFC or Affliction.

Even though Noons is the title holder I don't think he's the best or close to it in EliteXC.

I think even Mushin Corbrey can beat Noons. He's dying to be exposed.
