The California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday evening released the final numbers for Affliction Entertainment's second show, "Day of Reckoning," held on Jan. 24.
13,318 fans watched the event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Though the number of paid attendees was not released, the total gate revenue for the event totaled $1,429,557.
The revenue is slightly less than a number reported on Jan.26 by Yahoo! Sports, that said the event produced $1,512,750 in revenue from 8,946 paid attendees.
In a press release issued the day after the event, Affliction Entertainment claimed that 12,335 were in attendance for the evening.
The total payroll for the event, as first reported by MMAWeekly.com, was slightly north of $3.3 million.
Vice President of Affliction Entertainment Tom Atencio said preliminary pay per view numbers should be available within the week.

not looking too good for affliction here! Great fights, but bad business arrgangments with idiots like de la hoya and those zombies with the bad voices doing some awful backstage behind the scenes stuff with babalu & freddy roch
Good call on the interviews...not to mention the introduction of the WORST ring side commentator in the history of MMA...Tito Ortiz!
(Tito's post fight interview with FEA-dor..."Let me tell ya your feeling right now"?)
so true about tito, money down the drain, i forgot about what he said to Tito, i was on the floor laughing!! Just awful but good fights, love Belfort & Bentello!
Good thing Affliction makes that much money off their clothing line.. It'll make up for the losses of the pay per view...
From what I understand, Tito, in his infinite wisdom, did not get paid for his work at the show. He said that the $$$ they originally offered were too low for a person of his stature, so he would do this one for free to prove his worth. I think it's safe to say that he accomplished his goal. He proved his worth to be what he got paid - nothing.
They need Bas Rutten & Kenny Rice to do the commentary. Bas is the best color commentator in the business, and Kenny Rice is a good sidekick.
Completely agree, get rid of those guys with the aweful voices. Let Tito do scripted only work for advertising, but keep him away from the broadcast booth and interviews.
Better production is desperately needed.
Ring vs cage... I was always a pride fan, but never much cared for the ring. Thoughts?
actually dumb ass..
Fedors name is properly pronounced FEE-YUHH-door
Just like Royce is pronounced Hoyce even though it has a R..
dont you feel stupid
You dumbasses actually think there gonna run out of money? Trump is a billionare and golden boy promotions has millions for years n years.
ya but trump and de la hoya arent rich by taking losses like that. And, its not like they actually care about mma.
Actually..."FEE-YUHH-door" is the "Romanized" pronunciation of "Fey-Dor". Aside from Tito, the other 99.9% of anyone involved in MMA pronounces his name correctly. Even Tito himself finally said it right near the very end of the broadcast. Just because you have a man crush on Tito doesn't mean you have to defend his stupidity....
