ouch

That's bad news for both Affliction and HDNet. HDNet has already been talking about the event and would certainly benefit from the newfound rapport among mma fans for being the organization to televise Fedor and giving him a quality fight. This was going to be their biggest promotion to date.

Affliction needs to get this event televised to start to develop a reputation as something other than a clothing company. Getting the event on cable instead of just PPV would quickly gain the public's eye. Hopefully this hasn't entirely collapsed already.

Since they planned on it being a PPV event anyways I dont see this as being a huge loss. But I dont understand how it would be a good idea to have the event on PPV and then a week later for free on HDNet. Seems like only really hardcore fans would pay rather than just wait a week.

In other Affliction-related news, Five Ounces of Pain has also learned that EliteXC has joined the UFC as the second major North American mixed martial arts promotion to ban its fighters from wearing Affliction clothing during cage-walk entrances.
Bit of a surprise there. I assume all the anti-Dana White people will be giving the same treatment to EliteXC now.
