A company with to much debt usually ends up doing 1 of 2 things.
1: goes bankrupt
2: is bought out by another company...
Everyone said the same things about PRIDE as they are about Affliction. Where is PRIDE now???
It took Zuffa 6 years to break even on the investment they put into the UFC when they purchased it. How many owners are willing to wait 6 years before they earn their money back? Not many that is for sure.

That depends honestly. Donald Trump is far wealthier than Dana White and his investors. He is not hurting for money so he might be willing to wait several years before he see's a return on his investment. As long as he believes there is a future in the investment and he is not hurting for money in the meantime it is very possible that him and the other investors won't sell.
Donald is not the only wealthy investor in Affliction either, there are several wealthy people involved who are probably not interested in putting a bunch up front only to sell at a loss in the next couple years. I think they are going to put a lot into it because they want to see it take off, not get taken over. Time will tell though!
