UFC President Dana White is making a bold prediction in regards to the future of the Affliction MMA promotion.
"After tonight those guys are going out of business and all [their fighters] will be over here," White said Saturday at the UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin post-fight press conference.
Affliction invested heavily in its inaugural "Affliction: Banned" event Saturday to put together arguably the greatest heavyweight card in MMA history.
While the attendance numbers are a success with 13,989 fans packing Anaheim's Honda Center, it is not yet known how well the event fared in ticket sales and pay-per-view buys.
"Cause they spent a lot of money tonight," White explained. "And I know more about this business than they do. If you spend a lot of money and you don't get that money back, you usually go out of business.
"Talk to the IFL... They know all about it."
Lol stfu Dana.

I think Shaun posted it at WC but they paid out something like 3 million in fighter salaries and only grossed 2 million from gate, because they gave away like 3 thousand tickets for free. It's not far off to think because I remember Trump always saying he's in it to make a profit and if that doesn't happen he'll stop investing.

Yeah pretty much, In exess of 3 mill on salaries, and something like 2.1 mill on the Live gate, hopefully PPV buys and Merch help them out there.
EDIT: I haven't seen a confirmed number yet but I've heard the word 100,000 buys being thrown around on radios and interviews alot. If true, Affliction stand to barely break even on the event, if even.
