hahaha, you owe me a glass of milk and a new keyboard.

Trump isn't stupid enough to put Tito in charged of anything man. You don't amass a fortune by making brain dead decisions like that.

Man I know it sounds crazy but you have to understand that the fame that Trump garnered from the show the Apprentice will drive him to give Tito a favorable position. When I say "executive" position I am referring to being a high ranking promoter or even a consultant to Trump. Don't think it's that far fetched. Do you think that before Trump met Tito on the Apprentice he was thinking about getting involved in mma?

I am sorry sunshine but its ALWAYS about the money.
Do you think Trump just suddenly became a fan and want to do it for the love of the sport?

Trump also was the owner of the USFL that tried to overtake the NFL back in the day. He sued the NFL for a monoply and won exactly $1.00 and the league folded a year later. He had a few big stars there too. Reggie White and Doug Flutie to name a couple.

Trump is an EXTREMELY good businessman (I mean he's freaking Donald Trump)...if he really is parternering with Affliction...I think it really boosts (there's no guarantee in business) the chances that Affliction will succeed as a major competitor to the UFC in the next 5 years.
