Just a quick thought about the next Affliction show (which is little more than a month away, with little to no advertising so far, again).

Based on the salaries for the last event, the payroll is looking like this:

Arlovski: $500k
Barnett: $300k
Little Nog: $50k
Lindland: $225k
Rothwell: $250k
Rizzo: $75k
Buentello: $60k
Pyle: $15k

That's $1,475,000 so far and there's like 10 fighters I can't fight salary info for (Hieron, Matyushenko, Nelson & Fickett will probably be looking for around $50,000 each), and these are base salaries only. Win bonuses could easily be another $500,000 ($345,000 alone if Lindland, Arlovski & Buentello win). And this show has nowhere near the drawing power the 1st one did. This has catastrophe written all over it. So, they're going to spend another 2 million in salary. The 1st show apparently did somewhere between 60k-100k in PPV. This one will be lucky to draw 50k. They can't keep this up much longer.

MAIN CARD (PPV)

Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett
Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Matt Lindland vs. Trevor Prangley
Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon
Ben Rothwell vs. Pedro Rizzo
Drew Fickett vs. Jay Hieron
Antonio Duarte vs. Albert Rios

PRELIMINARY CARD (HDNet)

Paul Buentello vs. Roy Nelson
Jason High vs. Mike Pyle
Chase Gormley vs. Jay White

Me thinks Dana might be right about Afflictions future. I know they asked some of the fighters to take a pay cut, but how many would actually be willing to do it. I know Barnett has already said no way.

Yea, that was incredible......

Sort of the same way Chuck got caught in the second Rampage fight. Went for that looping body shot without jabbing first and he got lit up. Rashad did it in more spectacular fashion though.

Has Chuck gotten up yet? Wow, he was out cold! I didn't think Rashad had it in him.

A body was found today when a sheriffs deputy was flying around the general location of the campsite. The Imperial County deputy coroner is being flown in to retrieve and identify body.
I really hope this isn't him, and that he's found safe and sound.

Every article I've read has said that the body has not been positively identified, but everyone is running with the story, as all signs point to it being him. RIP Evan!

Sad to hear about Evan. He was always one of my favorites. His fight against David Terrell will always be one of my favorites to watch. I was at that event.

He'll be missed.

Exclusive: Affliction II: 'Day Of Reckoning' Cancelled - MMARated.com

October Affliction show has been cancelled. Apparently less than 1000 tickets had been sold so far.

Edit: Apparently it's just being rescheduled for January in Anaheim. Still, things aren't looking too good for Affliction MMA.

Nope doesn't look good at all. I'm all for competition but I wouldn't mind if they went under just to see Fedor in the Octagon.
