By mid-afternoon yesterday Affliction's MMA promotion was on the coroner table. After a few more hours Tom Atencio came out to say that Affliction is just fine and will continuing promoting fight. Interesting point on this, in a post-fight interview, Tom Atencio said that is was always their plan to do three shows and re-evaluate from there, take what you will out of that.
Despite the internet rumor-storm, (I was out and about, poor time to decide to go out into a snowstorm), there was some news regarding the pay-per-view numbers. MMAConvert has two reports one putting the range of PPV buys at 80,000-100,000. The other, via Golden Boy, puts the buys between the 175,000-200,000 mark. Pretty broad range regardless.

Why are they in trouble?
With big money partners like Donald Trump and Oscar De La Hoya? Oh wait, I know, maybe they should get some partners that…actually put money into the enterprise instead of just getting a piece of PPV money to market the product….Hmmm partners with an economic stake in the company? Why didn’t they think of that?
