[...] out of business is silly. He wasn’t the most paid fighter in any of the Affliction events. MMA payout: Here are the official fighter salaries from the Affliction: Day of Reckoning fight [...]

I think Fedor should have been paid more for this fight, why was there such a difference in what Fedor made and what Arlovski was paid? I don’t think the differences were justified.

Golden Boy Promotions is De La Hoya right? Affliction MMA = Affliction + Goldenboy + Trump….why would he slit his own throat?? Sounds a little like sour grapes to me.

and if u really think about it,it doesnt make sense he’s trying to promote the fight and i think maybe become a small partner why drive them to backruptcy before they reach there potential,its only there second show.besides who the **** cared that de la hoya was there anyways

De La Hoya, Golden Boy PR, and Affliction have all denied the claim. Why should we take the word of Larry Merchant with no questions asked?

You forgot to list De La Hoya’s $5 million he got from Affliction to show up at the event.

So after having to cancel this past weekend’s Affliction house party of mine, I was seriously considering throwing a party for this weekend…until I just saw the rest of the fight card. Aside from the main event, I don’t see any other significant matchup. The Machida fight will no doubt be boring as usual, and the rest of the card is mediocre at best.

Very dissapointing…

you guys are soo dumb….he has to report his wages when hes leaving the US to the IRS.. He came to anaheim, they have it that he made only 300gs, but really, he made more than arlovski. theyre jus sayin 300 for the sole purpose of him not paying mad taxes. They probably off shored his account 800-900gs.

I can’t imagine that $300K is all he recieved for this fight. I am sure he received a huge bonus for the win. I think he is just as popular as Arlovski. I do agree that affliction may be putting too much into the salaries though. Elite XC put all their cookies in one jar, Kimbo Slice.

i think Affliction might be giving Dana/UFC a “f*ck you” by contracting Fedor at such a low cost it might make people who dont know better think “why couldnt Dana sign Fedor? the guy fights for peanuts right?” and almost makes Dana look scared to sign him or something outta fear that this guy he talked sh*t about will come in and kill everyone in his promotion and make him look bad…. most likely NOT the case but it would be funny lol.
