Megadeth to perform at Affliction: Banned

There's my source:

Looks like Affliction is pulling out all the stops in their first event.

I'm not really big on having the bands play at the events but im sure it will be a big draw for most people..

I think its a big waste of money. There is no upside to this. The MMA fans who are going to watch this show will do so regardless if they play or not and the fans of Megadeath aren't going persauded to spend 40 bucks to see someting they have never seen before, certainly not to see them play a 5 minute set. These bands also don't come cheap.

if done right it can be a smart move. Affliction seriously has the UFC worried or why bother go head to head at the last minute.

I sincerely doubt that Megadeth is doing this because they want their fans to check them out on a one night show. And I also doubt that Affliction is trying to draw in a different set of crowd with this move, they are involving Megadeth because it's kool, thats it, nothing more. There is no more added science to this than what you are thinking, Charles.

Awesome I love Megadeth. They should make Fedor and Tim fight to Devils Island!

Maybe so. But if thats their plan than its a dumb one. They are already hemorrhaging a boat loat of money on this show (and by their own admission don't expect to make any profits from it) and with this they are just digging a bigger hole for themselves with no possibility of a return
on this investment. Its just a bad business decision.

Damn this fight for not happening in Dallas.

This is quite the entertainment package. I am interested as to how good the production of the show will be.

Dave Mustaine (lead singer/guitarist) has a black belt in a martial art, not sure which, so Im guessing he's a big fan.

I actually wasn't going to pay for this card, unemployed and all, but since Im a huge Megadeth fan, I might as well go for it.
