Dana predicted this just right...they just burned through a mountain of cash. Thats not good at all. Sucks for those fighters.
*coughs*
The Oct. 11 Affliction event scheduled for the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas has been postponed, Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed to Sherdog.com on Wednesday.
Affliction contacted Kizer on Wednesday morning to inform him that the event would be moved to a January date at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Advertising for the Oct. 11 pay-per-view event had already begun, including in New York, where scheduled headliners Andrei Arlovski (Pictures) and Josh Barnett (Pictures) were featured on a billboard in Times Square.
The show, “Day of Reckoning,” was set to be Affliction's second MMA event.

They need to merge with elite xc!!!
I'd like to hear Trump make a statement on this...
That’s actually the best idea I have heard to give them a chance to survive…too bad the ego's involved would never allow it.
Faced with extinction and they would probably fight each other to death and get nothing done. …just like 28 days later…lol
"Affliction what? Who?"
Yeah they can call it Elite Affliction lol. That actually sounded crappy. Yeah too bad, it would be nice to see Arlovski school Kimbo.
Prob something like this. "Affliction..........your fired!!"
"oh you mean that company with the velcro belt?"
I'd like to see Aleks E. walk in against Kimbo. Kevin would take one look at that monstrous Russian and run away screaming. And Aleks has a kid now - heaven knows he could use the payday
I wonder if anyone will be calling their agent to get the out of their contract.
……. this is EXACTLY what happened to the WFA.
Dana White Texting Tom Atencio
"LOLZ U SKRWD U DMBFCK"
I hope Andre goes back to UFC. I was excited to still be able to see his fights through affliction, but dammit!!

well there we go.Sources close to the venue in Las Vegas say that ticket sales were abysmally slow for the event, which is believed to have contributed to the event’s postponement.
A formal statement from Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio is forthcoming.
aleks will never fight in the us again
The UFC is a juggernut and that is not going to change. The best guys in the world are just going to all go there and any start-up company will be getting 2nd rate fighters, put on 2nd rate shows, burn through money and just go away. Maybe Fedor will be here soon after all.
hey are you calling Andre a 2nd rate fighter?
I heard that also, that he would never be medically cleared to fight in the U.S. There were rumors of Hep A, which his camp denied.
Aleks has Hep C (EDIT or A as Desflood said)and someone from the CSAC said they have proof that will keep him from fighting in the US ever again.
You have to feel awful for guys like Horodecki who haven't seen a paycheck in a long time.
Fedor may never fight for them again since he will fight NYE and that means he won't be ready again until May or whatever. So who knows if they are even around then..DOUBTFULL they will even have another show.
Matt Lindland is the angel of death for MMA orgs. WFA, Bodog, IFL and now Affliction.
Sorry,hey are you calling Andre a 2nd rate fighter
No he is a 1st rate fighter, the UFC ed over. He should be back, i would think
are you serious??? Which is the one that Fedor "had"? Wasn't that Hep as well?
Arlovski is Dana's biggest eff up.
