Affliction and Golden Boy
February 27, 2008
A busy day in the MMA industry continues with news that Matt Lindland has signed a contract with an unnamed fight promotion. MMAWeekly reports that Affliction is a primary partner in the deal with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions as a partner.
Rumors have been circulating in the industry for several months regarding Affliction’s entry as a promoter, dating back to December when the UFC first flirted with the idea of banning the clothing line from it’s events. The company eventually allowed Georges St. Pierre to wear his signature Affliction shirt at UFC 79, but subsequently banned the label.
In recent weeks speculation has centered on a partnership between Affliction and Golden Boy, predating the latter’s stated interest in MMA.
