Not sure the details, but this shows a bad precedent for monopolizing the sport in U.S. Affliction needs to get any TV deal quickly to make of use of the AKA's talent.

I agree that the UFC has an argument that there providing the worlwide venue and financial rewards whether it be via salary or sponsors to basically warrant lopsided contracts to it's employees, regardless of how popular they may become, However they are going through the growing pains that every major sports orginization has already gone through and has eventually adjusted to reflect the maturation of the employers and employees. I mean as long as Michael jordan was in the Nba......they can use his likenss and image in games and other products, but DEFINITELY NOT FOR A LIFETIME!!............. Kobe bryant, Lebron James, neither Dwayne wade would agree to that..........regardless of the benefits of the Nba's exposure. So as the orginization grows.........anything Lifetime for top athletes will have to be limited.
