The PPV estimates are around 25k, which at $40 a pop would mean they're set to lose around 5million

Affliction doesn't have any division. Rothwell, AA and Sylvia are all part of Adrenalin MMA.

Wow sounds really good... but for some sad reason i dont think it will last.

They are putting out a ton of money, but then again i think affliction has a lot of money.

Their clothing line is basically completely tied with MMA. I am sure all the fighters will have new shirts on this show. They basically are forced to do this show and do it like this since they are banned from everywhere else.

I really do think most fighters signed with Affliction will end up in this org if it stays above water. It will be just like the UFC and Xyience. The org will use a sponsor as a front to pay their fighters off the books in untaxed sums.

They lost their two biggest forms of advertising though by being banned by the UFC and EliteXC

this fight card is sickk

when you look at the main networks, there is still Fox and ABC available. the UFC will probably try to get ABC because of its association with ESPN, and hopefully Affliction can get Fox.
