Found this on Ain't it Cool News:
Alright all you primitive chodder heads, Harry here again... This time, we got a scoop on what Mr Boom Stick has to say about that whole ASH VS FREDDY & JASON thing. Here ya go...
Hey Harry,
This morning Gustav and Daria, two local Portland radio mini-celebs, interviewed the King- Bruce-I'm cooler-than-Colin-Farrell Campbell- on the opening/ short run of Bubba-Ho-Tep at Cinema 21.
Daria began her last question with the warning to Bruce that he wouldn't like what she was about to ask, then preceded to tell him she'd interviewed Robert Englund a couple of weeks ago and he said a Freddy/ Jason/ Ash crossover was in negotiations and if Bruce could confirm that rumour.
Bruce answered that "Robert was a pretty smart and perceptive guy" and that negotiations were underway by guys in suits at the studios. Basically the fight is over whose franchise would come out on top in the potential crossover. Daria quipped that "we should just let the geeks fight it out" to which Bruce answered "yeah, let Harry Knowles decide who wins."
Personally I'm not keen on the crossover idea of a crossover with Ash and Freddy. The "Evil Dead" films are light years cooler than the "Nightmare" series and Ash wouldn't be caught dead slumming on Elm street. On the other hand: I'll take what "Evil Dead" their willing to dish out, even if he has to share time with Freddy, 'cause the franchise looks all but dead. And I'm always happy to see Bruce working.
Stay out of Double-Secret-Probation.

Ok, so "da BRUCE" wants me to decide who wins... They put me in charge, this is how I see it. A $90 Million film -- The movie begins with Bruce tearing the hell out of Freddy and Jason... limbs flying everywhere, him bathed in blood, when suddenly he wakes up at the firearm section of S-MART... and then you have the best *bleep* EVIL DEAD movie ever, without another shot of Freddy or Jason. I HAVE SPOKEN!
