This week's installment of MMA Live looks into the partnership between Affliction and Golden Boy Promotions:
The deal makes Oscar De La Hoya a mixed martial arts promoter, and the MMA Live guys see it as a good thing. One interesting note on the business of boxing and MMA: So far this year, only one boxing match, Roy Jones vs. Felix Trinidad, has reached 500,000 pay-per-view buys. But six UFC events have topped the 500,000 mark.
