Vitor Belfort vs Terry Martin Affliction MMA fight booked for July 19

John, I hope your right. It’s just too much money going out, and I don’t see where the money is going to come in from. What does donald trump have to do with it? Name, he has, but he’s not going to boost ppv bus by buying them himself. I’m just sauing it’s a possibility of failure. How many (bodog, which had fedor,ifl) have failed!! Fedor isn’t a U.S. commodity. We love him, but joe blow average mma guy needs guys like tito or chuck!

me too! actually at this point its hard for me to imagine them failing. they do need to start w/ a blitzkrieg of radio and tv ads and start making it known to the genreal public. is ther any socal mania fans out there who know if tickey sells are doing well and if thev’e already started to advertise heavy out there, radio,tv, billboards? its only about a month away. w/ A.A. added and now this fight this is the best card of the summer and ppv sales i think will be better than expected. ufc 87 is gonna be awesome, but this is a dream fightcard

ticket,genral, typos etc.

John, I think the main problem with this first Affiliction card is that it is 2 weeks after Forrest/Rampage. All the TUF fans will buy that for sure, so who is left to pay for this PPV. Between the 2 that adds $100 to your cable bill. I make a good living and that is still tough to swallow. The economy sucks right now and the cost of living is up. People are pinching pennys everywhere. I too hope they succeed, but that is reality. BTW, has the event tickets sold out yet?

If that’s the case, watch UFC at the bar and order Affliction and you only get charged ? How much is the Affliction event going to be? How about start time?

Can you imagine if the UFC just used fighters from their very first event and still had them fighting each other? If that was the case, we’d soon be seeing Ken Shamrock vs Gerard Gordeau 86. The UFC signed more fighters. Of course Affliction will do so as well, at least I hope At this rate, they will have too many fighers and we will be complaining that fighters we like are part of the prelims, like this fight for example. That will only be a good thing for us mma fans!!!

I think the concern is spending too much on the fighter’s salary for instance Fedor is getting 1 million for one fight. The UFC is smart in this regard becuase it pays the fighter’s well but not that well… and in the long run it has been the only org that has true staying power. I’m not pro UFC but they know what they are doing. The only fighter’s that complain about money are the fighter’s that are on losing streaks or Randy who thinks he is God’s gift to MMA. I love MMA and this card is sickkkkk!!!!!! and I hope Affliction is here to stay. Belfort fighting again wow!!!!!

Kevin: How can you even compare this fight card with Bodog’s?

with trump on board they will get alot of press and how are they putting all there eggs in one basket they still have so many match ups that i would love to see and thats just with the h.w. that they have they have.they have a ton of great shows they could put on with just the fighters tha they have gotten so far with alot more to come i am sure.and to the people that say there spending too much if they do half of what the ufc does and pay the fighters half of the gross they are still making money.the ufc pays what less than 10 percent of what they pull in on a show goes to the fighters.

I’m comparing to number of orgs that have had a go at it. I’ll buy it, but agree it’s a lot in one month to spend for some people. I thought fedor was making more considering tim is getting 800000/200000. ppv ’s will only be bought by hardcore fans is my point

You can not compare Affliction to the other organizations that “had a go at it” because none of the other orgs. Have ever assembled a card like this with actual fights rellevant in the top 10 of their divisions.

No “other” organization has ever come close to putting out a card like this one…therefore compairing it to the other ones that failed is not accurate in my oppinion.

Keep in mind that NO MMA organization has ever profited from there 1st shows. If we all know that, I am sure the head honchos of Affliction are aware of this and probably expect to loose money at 1st. With names like Arlovski, Sylvia and Vitor, this card has a chance of being a success. Then Tito and Randy will carry the next card. By then everyone will have gotten a chance to see the other top fighters and look for them to compete on Future cards. The only thing that worries me is that WE dont know what they would consider a success.

Of Course if they expect to make a HUGE profit in their first show, they will fail. But I think they are smarter then that.

Another fighter that will help Affliction sell the card is Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Aftyer all he looks just like Current UFC heavyweight champion and trhere names are close to being identical.

Also, I wouldnt be surprised if we see guys like Nick Diaz, Jake Sheilds, or Gilbert compete on an Affliction card.

Not having exclusive contracts gives them as well as its fighters many options for future shows! I really think that they will be alright!

Article from DREAMFIGHTERS

Terry Martin is fighting June 14th, so if he gets KO’d badly or gets a bone snapped or broke, he will not be able to compete at the Affliction event.

Yeah, luckily Daju Takase is a submission fighter. Martin may loose but he wont get beat up in the process.

I just relaized that this will be Vitor’s debut at 185 lbs, which means the fastest Vitor ever! Vitor is a head case, I am a fan but you can never tell which Version of Vitor will show up. if he enters this fight, strong mentally and fights aggresive, then he willk tear a whole in Martins Face just like he did to eastman!

I should say super fighter huh (in Belfort) my bad LoL

meh. weeds hasn’t been good since season one. season 2 was ok for the first couple episodes, then went downhill quickly.

dexter is one of the only shows that i look forward to seeing on showtime.

Inever watched weeds. is it any good?

Dexter is the shit, but I cancelled my Showtime. BOYCOTT Elite XC!

Personally, I don’t like that show Dexter. I tried watching the first episode, but couldnt get into it.

If you smoke, then you will love the show Weeds. So in other words John, you’ll love it just like me!

The question with Vitor is actuially SIMPLE!

Will he be agressive and let the hands Fly? That is the question. When he is agressive he usually KO’s people. When he is gun shy, he looses.

Vitor is kind of like Arlovski in that if they let their hands fly, they are 2 of the most dangerous people in the world. When they dont, they are boring!

exactly its hard to bet and count on a guy who can show up and be a top 10 overall fighter in the world, or a guy who can’t even beat Charles McCarthy in a pissing contest. So thats why Terry Martin will KO him.
