******ed bull****. I've met very, very few people who give a **** about MMA. I've met few hardcore boxing fans, but hundreds of thousands of British people can be called casual fans. But football dwarfs every other sport. Take my life here for instance. When the kids I teach aren't in classes they're outside in the playground playing football. When I go to a bar there is a very good chance they'll have football on, even when it isn't live. When I meet people they very often ask which football team I support. No sport has anywhere near as many outdoor facilities in this city as football. I play 5 a side every Monday and sometimes 11 a side on Thursday. Try organising a game of basketball or baseball and see where that gets you. There's a lot about professional football I don't like that made me far less of a fan than I was, but to question it's popularity is remarkably ignorant
I know maybe one person who knows the name of a UFC fighter. MMA isn´t even close to boxing in terms of popularity how can you compare it to soccer? Dana's talking **** as always EDIT: Maybe in the USA but not global
Considering the market for 'soccer' in the USA is the equivalent of what synchronised tiddly winks is in the UK -comparatively speaking- it's a worthless comparison. This is just classic Dana showing his ass. When viral marketing fails just lie instead. Oh wait that's the same thing...
If he said that seriously he has zero idea on how big is football-soccer......which is not a surprise....
:deal Football absolutely shits on the UFC. Dana is ******ed unbelievably ******ed, taht and he must not understand just how big football is. I mean what is comparing it too, the MLS?
Quoted for truth.White the UFC resident ******* also boasted in Canada that his sports viewing audiance is as big as hockey in Canada-which is so far from the truth it's insane.The man is a snake oil salesman and completely delusional. Whats more insane is his fanboys who quote this and actually believe this moron.Complete nutters all.
Dana is out of his damn mind saying **** like this. Says a lot about his style. What a ****ing idiot.
if im not mistaken, Utd vs Liverpool gets more viewers than the Classico. and thats without us mentioning the champions league final, Euro championships or the world cup Dana is to be taken with a pinch of salt. he is, as my father would say. "like the barbers cat. Full of shite!!"
"When youre playing a game when the net is that big and the score is 3-1 (and thats a blowout) are you kidding me? You know how untalented you have to be to score three times when the net is that big?" Is this idiot for real? If i ask him to run the field 2 laps and then shoot the ball from 20 meters he would probably break his leg trying to hit it. Fat ass moron...
what an ill educated idiot he really is. talentless????? MMA is the only sport where you can train for 1 year and be good at it. Football is a god given gift. Footballers are far more talented than MMA fighters
This, Essentially. I mean, there are "fighters" who have had their FIRST FIGHT in the UFC due to TUF. That is just ridiculous! Football has been the biggest sport in the world for CENTURIES and will continue to be the biggest sport in the world.... For CENTURIES.
