ShoXC was a mixed martial arts series produced by the mixed martial arts organization EliteXC, Showtime and Proelite.com. The series was announced on July 11, 2007.[1] The purpose of the show is to highlight up and coming MMA fighters.
On October 20, 2008, ProElite, the parent company of EliteXC, informed its employees and fighters that they are shutting down. As of October 21, 2008, the company plans on filing for bankruptcy protection and all future events have been canceled. A breakdown in the negotiations with Showtime Networks to purchase ProElite resulted in the company's funding to disappear, forcing them out of business. ShoXC events were later replaced on Showtime by ShoMMA events put on by Strikeforce, after purchasing EliteXC's assets.[2]
