I find that hard to believe since the UFC dropped Affliction based on the fact that they were rumored to be starting their own promotion (and then they did).
Plus I just can't see Affliction going "Well we can't be on the UFC ppvs anymore, so lets just start our own MMA Promotion even though we are a t-shirt company". It's just not what seems like a logical step in that direction.
Clint has RNC the correct.
The idea that Affliction would start a rival promotion just b/c the UFC banned them is ridiculous.
LOL you guys are making out like Affliction is gonna lose alot of money on this show, THEY ARE NOT! they'll make atleast 2-3 million at the gate, more in merchadise... They'll get roughly about 100k PPVs.... 100k x 40 bucks = 40 million - 20 million from the PPV and taxes... so yeah they'll make a little profit not much, but they'll eventually crush the UFC (lol I kid)
