Affliction opens more seats for 'Day of Reckoning'

Affliction announced today that due to high demand, more seats will be made available for "Day of Reckoning" at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

"Despite the tight economy, fight fans are choosing 'Day of Reckoning' as the must-see event of the year, with its stacked to bursting line-up of stellar matches from top to bottom," the promotion's press release stated. "Day of Reckoning," headlined by a title bout between former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko versus former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, takes place Saturday, Jan. 24.

Today's announcement was obviously in response to dispel the low-ticket sales rumors. The event was originally scheduled for last October in Las Vegas, but was postponed to this January date due to slow ticket sales.

Affliction Entertainment VP Tom Atencio logged on to The Underground Forum to slam the rumors.

"Just wanted to come on here and respond to all the rumors going around that we have only sold 1200-1500 seats," Atencio wrote in his message. "First of all I have no idea where this information is coming from, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. In reality we are opening up more seating to accommodate the demand for tickets. This event is stacked from top to bottom, and I personally cant wait to see every fight! For those of you that can't make it out to the event be sure to watch the main card live on pay PPV as well as the complete undercard for free on HDNET."
