    I just don't see how they can do it with only 4 PPVs a year. Do they have regular television spots lined up yet?

    I think they are gonna use the first 4 PPV's to build up Fedors popularity. Plus Dana Has been known to alienate his top fighters at one point or another so I can see them picking up marketable fighters as time goes on.

      If it makes money then it makes cents.

            Well he certainly has the bankroll to give Dana something to worry about.

            And with a few UFC acquisitions, Dana could start feeling the pressure.

            I hope it works, more money for Golden Boy means more great fights (boxing and MMA) for you and I.

              Really I want affliction to succeed just so fedor can beat the **** of Lesner and Mir and Dana can shut the **** up about fedor being overrated.

Both of the events are taking place in California. The Affliction pay-per-view, headlined by heavyweights Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski, will clash at the Honda Center in Anaheim, while Margarito vs. Shane Mosley is about 30-miles away at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

                there is no UFC event this week lol. so basically the 2 golden boy events will be going head-to-head with each other. No way affliction ever over takes the UFC.

                  dana said that fedor is overrated? I never heard that. Fedor is very respected in the MMA world and Dana would never say anything disrespectful to such a great fighter even if he isn't apart of the UFC.

                    I'd love to see Fedor rip Lesnar apart as well. But I'm pretty sure Dana would rather slit his own throat than ever let it happen.
