Affliction正式倒闭!!

本帖最后由 THE_SANDMAN 于 2009-7-26 17:46 编辑

首先从Trilogy开始说:
Affliction的副主席Tom Atencio在美国时间7月24日开记者会确定Affliction: Trilogy正式取消

Tom表示主因是Josh Barnett药检失败,令Affliction无法找到适当的对手对上世界第一的MMA好手Fedor Emelianenko。虽然有很多选手如Brett Rogers, Jeff Monson, Vitor Belfort, Don Frye, "King" Mo Lawal, Paul Buentello 等声称自己可以顶替Josh Barnett。但Tom认为Vitor Belfort是Middleweight选手,而且其他重量级选手也没有号召力,于是决定取消Trilogy。

另一原因Tom Atencio没说出来的,就是之前两个MMA秀损失惨重,之前两场秀令Affliction亏损了数百万美元。这也成为取消Trilogy的另一原因。

就在取消Trilogy不久后,Affliction便对外宣布停止举办任何MMA比赛。Affliction会重新成为UFC的赞助商之一,而UFC主席Dana White对Affliction回归UFC表示欢迎,但一切都要等7月31日的记者会才能确定。
Dana White在北京时间今早接受ESPN电台访问,“It’s going to be a lot of crazy things”...Crazy things是指什么??UFC会与其他联盟合办一场秀??还是Lorenzo Fertitta终于开了一个Fedor Emelianenko能接受的条件??最有可能发生的是Tito Ortiz回归UFC了..

以下是Affliction UFC发表的联合声明:
Zuffa, LLC, owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship “UFC” organization and Affliction Holdings, LLC announced today they have agreed to a collaboration that will benefit the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and ultimately the sport’s growing fan base.

The collaboration ensures commitments by UFC and Affliction for Mixed Martial Arts to continue to be recognized as a mainstream sport.

“We are excited about the return of Affliction to the UFC and look forward to seeing our fighters once again walk into the Octagon wearing the Affliction brands. Affliction is an innovator of mixing fashion with this sport and we are looking forward to working together to promote the sport.” Dana White, President of UFC.

“Our brand is synonymous with the ‘Live Fast’ approach to life and UFC is the perfect venue for us to market our brand. We have come to an agreement with the UFC which we feel will be the best for the sport and will help the UFC continue delivering the highest caliber of fights,” Eric Foss, Co-Founder of Affliction.

希望可以成真。

Belfort已经降到197磅了。。。
“It's going to be a lot of crazy things..." Dana的意思是说很多意料不到的事情将会发生。。。
由于Affliction和UFC的合作关系, UFC将会接转Affliction旗下所有选手的合约,不过Fedor则是例外,据说他和Affliction签的是独立性的合约。。
而倒闭后, Affliction将会主要和UFC合作,为UFC选手提供服装以及各式的形象服务。。

MMA是一个运动的名称

倒闭了也好,本身也不好看,号召力不强,总亏损也不是办法

ankle 发表于 2009-7-27 00:48

好什么好啊,竞争对手都倒了,到时候UFC一家垄断,对于仍在起步阶段、普及很不充分的MMA运动来说,不是好事,

在烧钱方面他们也总算是压过UFC了
