You should stop reading rumours from ufc lovers and the people that hate the organisation because they make cheesy t shirts. Affliction is doing just fine.

<---doesn't want Affliction to go under.

I don't know enough about the FW division apparently, buy my first thought is "Who, of interest, is Din going to fight?"

My second thought is "this thread is useless, I should ejaculate on it."

Good for Din I hope he gets a nice payday from them before they go down in flames like the hindenburg.

His ultimate goal is to go where the talent is. That is in the WEC.

Affliction will be a stepping stone for Din.

Affliction allegedly going to ask fighters to take a 50% pay cut

WAR Affliction 50% Pay Cut and tom atencio admitting past payouts were a mistake!

But Barnett won't take it if asked!

It all started when Affliction VP Tom Atencio stated they would be asking their fighters to work with them on their salaries to help ensure Affliction could survive
Yeah they sound like they are doing GREAT!
More On The Affliction Pay Cut Rumors


Meltzer said that Atencio told him that fighters needed to work with Affliction on salary issues or they weren’t going to last much longer. Meltzer also said an agent that he spoke with did confirm that Affliction requested a 50% paycut with one of his fighters but that was only in cases where the fighter was going to face an easier opponent. Easier opponent? Who determines what an easy opponent is? Bottomline, Affliction has asked fighters to take paycuts in certain situations according to Meltzer.
