EliteXC lightweight champion K.J. Noons, who's currently embroiled in a public spat with EliteXC officials after his management team refused to return phone calls requesting an Oct. 4 rematch Nick Diaz, has issued a formal statement on the matter. Noons emailed the statement to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), and we today confirmed its authenticity with Noons himself. Noons alleges EliteXC officials of a variety of misdeeds, including poorly publicizing his career, breach of his confidentially agreement, poor pay, threats of a lawsuit, and instigating a now-infamous in-ring scuffle between Noons' and Diaz's camps during a June event in Hawaii. In the statement, Noons claims the problem isn't with Diaz and, instead, stems from two years of the sub-par treatment from the organization, specifically ProElite CEO Chuck Champion and Vice President Jared Shaw.

I agree with Noons 100%, why is he the "champion" getting paid less then Diaz and he has already beat Diaz, doesn't make sense to me

Probably because he signed a bad contract when he was a nobody and nobody else would pay him more. Fight out your contract. Diaz got a bigger contract, because he was a known name. Nobody knew KJ before this.
