First of all your numbers are off. 14,894 fans which is a 2.1 million livegate. Like Surfah said they had a 3.3 million dollar payroll. Finally 100k is nice but the UFCs basement for a B-list UK card (like Bisping vs Leben) is 200k buys.

So I am not sure they hit it out of the park. Also the Leben-Bisping fight coming up will be on Spike.
Atencio said they will lose a lot of money on this card, and that "changes" are coming otherwise Affliction wont be able to maintain. Changes will mean less money for fighters which means he wont attract anymore big names.
He is trying to put together Fedor vs Arlovski on Oct. 11th, but we will see what happens.
