I want to make it crystal clear, I think Affliction is the best promotion out there, but they act like they have untapped resources when it comes to paying these fighters.
You would think these mother fuckers own oil in the Middle East or some shit bro.
$3.3 million is the reported purse with their last event and they paid Tim Sylvia 800k at the last one. The Tim Sylvia debacle has to go down as one of the most ill-advised moronic business decisions ever in the history of the sport man. The guy who green lighted Sylvia getting all that loot needs to crawl under a bed and wait for the second coming.
If Affliction wants to stay afloat, they need to adopt Zuffa's "chickenfeed" business model IMO.
Sad, but probably true. They need to make some profits.
Affliction even has Tito hanging around like a leech thinking he's gonna make mad coin too. I like Ortiz, but he not worth 1/8 of what he thinks he's worth.
