Cohen Talks Affliction Entertainment – Part 1

July 14, 2008 by Staff Leave a Comment

MMA still isn’t legal in New York, but that hasn’t stopped real estate tycoon turned media mogul Donald Trump from jumping into the action. Last month Trump was announced as an equity partner in Affliction Entertainment and the MMA industry has been buzzing about his involvement ever since.

On the eve of Banned, I recently sat down with Michael Cohen, Chief Operating Officer of Affliction Entertainment and Executive Vice President & Special Counsel to Donald Trump, in his office on the top floor of Trump Tower.

In part one of a three part series, Cohen discusses the payroll for the company’s debut event as well as how Trump became involved with the company.
