Let me start by saying that I can appreciate what Mark Cuban is trying to do for Randy Couture and trying to set up the Fedor E. fight.
Here is what I don't get. This guy throws money trying to be the best at everything, but in doing so has become the best at nothing. From the Mavs not being able to grab an NBA title, to his failed "Apprentice" rip-off, and now a tiny television network (HDnet) that he will use to try to out duel the UFC in the game of MMA.
I am beginning to think this guy just has the most severe case of A.D.D. in the nation and cannot focus on any one thing for too long. Even if he lands the Couture/ Emelianenko fight, in the end he has at least one fighter that will retire sooner than later and the other has no pool of talent to fight. The funny thing is, if Sylvia can win during Affliction's first event the whole idea probably goes to hell anyway.
Fedor's biggest fight in the last couple of years was "Cro Cop" who has already lost his UFC contract after his loss to Kongo. No one is in a position to challenge UFC currently. EliteXC has the most potential to, only because they have a network TV deal with CBS, but they have a lot of work to do as proven by Saturday's fight.
Mark, if you ever read this, I would love to help you come up with some ideas for spending your cash. I am sure I can come up with some great ones. You obviously have a great business mind, get an original idea and market the hell out of it. Stop jumping onto ships that have already sailed.
