Couture & Trigg Weigh In On EliteXC-Affliction-Golden Boy; Are The Partnerships Viable Long-Term?

Frank Trigg has some interesting comments on Affliction-EliteXC and Affliction-Golden Boy partnerships, so make sure you watch past Randy Couture.

They don’t talk about this in the video, but it is something I’ve been thinking about regarding the Affliction-Golden Boy partnership. From what we know so far, they have plans to put on one major boxing match and fill the rest of the card with MMA. Pretty much every MMA pundit that’s commented on the partnership feels that Golden Boy will have to put together a marquee fight for this to have any chance to work. Michael D. Cohen stated to NBCSports.com that would be the case.
