Dana White on the Business of Boxing

Did someone swipe an ax down the side of this article?

 

That guy just cant get Boxing off of his mind.

 

Someone needs to explain to Dana White that he has a Heavyweight Champion and an "Interim" Champion just like they do in Boxing. Did he forget this? But he is using Boxing as an example of what not to do? :huh Also, since he refuses to let his fighters fight other people we don't even know who the real Heavyweight Champion is.

The UFC and Affliction = the WBC and WBA etc.

Who is to say his champions are any better than anyone elses since they don't fight?

All of the MMA promotions are no different than the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO.

How do we know who the "real" champion is?

Dana White is a joke.

 

Yip he is a real *****. We should maybe just ignore his ramblings, maybe then he will go away.:yep

 

Here's where the math goes all wrong and Dana is a serious punk *****

1. MMA / Boxing - Similar numbers on PPV and Gate
2. Boxing - ODL & PAC make $20 Million / $11 million respectively
3. MMA - Chuck Ice Man - makes a cool $750,000

 

dana has a point. dela hoya is a greedy mutha ****er

 

Well he just got his ass kicked really badly in front of millions, god works in mesterios ways.

 

It's common knowledge that the UFC has for the most part the best fighters in MMA. Although the organizations don't cross promote and there will always be questions about who the best is, it's still a more effective strategy than what boxing does. There are so many titles that the casual fan really has no comprehension on who the champion is. Every time I talk boxing with a casual fan who likes MMA more, they are quick to make this a point. They also point out how the boxing under cards are crap and unfortunately I can't rebuttal that. People may not like Dana but one can't dispute that he's running an effective political strategy that's winning over casual fight fans and consistently putting up big PPV numbers.

 

Not a surprise that a guy involved with an activity directly in competition with boxing would make such statements? MMA will NEVER have an event that would copare to some of the great events that boxing has produced. Ali-Frazier I, Duran-Leonard I, or scores of other fights throughout history. The Louis-Schmeling fights were microcosyms of the political state of the world. Jack Johnson against any of the white hopes of that era caused nationwide turmoil. When Barry Mcguigin fought ,the bitterly divided Irish Catholics and Protostents rooted for Barry in unison. MMA is a sideshow in comparison.

 

No the UFC DOESNT do cross promotions hence why Couture Fedor never happened when it was supposed to because Dana wanted options on Fedor and he told him **** you eloquently. Dana is a failed boxing promoter who caught life with an oragnization that was banned and itself was failing until it was bought by Zuffa. Up until PRIDE got sold they didnt even have the best fighters in the world. The only reason why there still the king dick is because there economic model works for Dana and the UFC. BUT it ****s the fighters who get paid a pittance in return.

 

Oscars the biggest jew to come out of East LA

 

Again, how do we know that Lesnar or Mir would beat Fedor? All of these different MMA Organizations that are out there are the eqivilent of the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO etc.

And the UFC Heavyweight Division is a complete joke they have a former WWF wrestler as their champion for christ sakes. Affliction has a much better Heavyweight stable of fighters including a few former UFC Heavyweight Champions. The UFC Heavyweight Division is a complete joke.

 

How come there fighters aren't making as much as boxers than?

 

because greedy Dana White is the one making all the money. A Huge pay day in MMA is 500k. That is a farce.

There were top level boxers making that in 1980 for christ sakes!
