-Straight from the mouths of my friends Tom Attencio and Todd Beard; No one is being asked to take a pay cut. They would never ask anyone to take a pay cut and don't intend to. Tom was only referring to any fighters that may have been thinking that they could get an exorbitant amount of money from Affliction just because. Again, no pay cuts asked and expected and they are doing just fine.

A. I've never pretended the UFC or MMA didn't exist before Dana White.
B. Lets go with your theory here about Dana's "piranha move" and call it a wash with the fact that the MMA market now is much more marketable and profitable then at the time of UFC 1. We call that a wash, and let's see...do you anticipate Affliction reaching 300,000 buys by their third show?

1. Completely made up. Not getting defensive, but neither cl nor myself ever said anything about those guys being worth 'X' amount. I'm not really sure where you got that. It's quite confusing.

B. The original UFC was completely novel and it had a strong figurehead in Gracie. It had no competition, especially strong-armed competition. Your comparison makes no sense. You might as well be comparing it to boxing in its nascent stage.
