After a ton of frustration with the death of Affliction MMA, Jay Hieron (18-4) vs Jesse Taylor gets bumped off the Showtime telecast at the last minute. If you don’t think so check this out,
- Hieron wins the IFL belt, the promotion goes down.
- At Affliction 2 he was dropped from the PPV, his fight with Jason High took place after the main event to an emptying arena. By the way, he KO High in 1:04, a true highlight opportunity missed.
- Affliction MMA goes down, leaving fighter out in the dark a little over a week before their scheduled fight.
- Fight with Paul “Semtex” Daley get canceled.
- Nick Diaz doesn’t show for a mandatory drug screening, that fight gets canceled.
- He get a tough opponent in Jesse Taylor, that fight gets bumped off the Showtime card.
- And like he said in the interview, if you are not on TV your sponsors don’t pay shit.
I feel so bad for Jay…Also i wish he was in the UFC..I have been looking for this fight for 3 days..Can anyone find it??
This kind of BS wouldn't happen to a great fighter in the UFC. THEY know better than to miss great highlight reel stuff and fighters may not get the Highest $$$ from Dana himself, but their fighters get Lots of air time for sponsors to pay them.
hes a good fighter he will get his payday soon enough, ya it sucks but there are alot of guys out there that dont fight on tv that should. i really wish these organizations would start showing the undercard fights on tv free so we could get some exposure to the up and comers in the game.
one word: james irvin
dale. That's two words. :p..
