Dana White on the Business of Boxing

:love

 

White knows what he's talking about ..There is a reason Broc vs Coture got them over 1 mil in ppv buys !

 

My impression is that Dana takes a shitload of money, which is why the fighters make so little despite pretty high PPV numbers. But regardless of that and his interim title, his point about shitty undercards stands.

It doesn't have to be Cotto-Margarito and DLH-Pac on one card, but at least a prospect like Tavoris Cloud, Gamboa, hell, even a semi-prospect like Denis Boytsov, Dimitrius Andrade or Odlanier Solis would do.





On UFC; i don't know really know that much about it, but isn't it true that the title keeps changing hands basically every time therei s a championship fight? A former WWE dancer holding the title surely doesn't help the image, although the average fan probably doesn't know nor care, as long as it's big muscular dudes fighting in there.
But a long reigning, hell, a few fights-reigning champion would certainly make the sport more interesting. I'm no fan, but a seemingly unbeatable guy like Fedor is very appealing.

 

What does the current HW picture do for the face of boxing ? At least in the UFC there is one champ ! People don't make fun of boxing for nothing !

Boxing should take a look at the UFC I mean all their cards are stacked are people really getting on White with what he does with his moneyt ? Well last I checked there are only two type of classes in boxing upper class and lower class in MMA everyone can eat in boxing some fighters have no choice but to wait for scraps!

 

I have to agree with Abbas, DLH is a hoarder of money, Dana White actually knows loads about boxing, he ran boxing gyms for a few years, lets face it Dana White is going to buy boxing for a dim in some deal one day.

 

Yeah thats right he`s going to buy a SPORT.:roll:

 

Correct theres ONE champ in each division in the UFC. As there is in the WBC WBA IBF etc. Cage Rage, WAMMA, StrikeForce as well as all other orgs have there OWN champ. Not that much diffrent is it..

 

I think that it's a good rivalry between mma and boxing it will just force both 2 put on better cards. We the fans are the winners in the end:happy

 

Dana Whites MMA model isnt exactly perfect either.

BUT, he does have a point. DLH has an opportunity to really help the sport but he chooses to fill his pockets instead. And thats real frustrating.

 

You can thank the WWE for that. They made Brock into a mainstream star not the UFC.

 

yeah, the UFC is much like its on league/promotion...it would be equal to say...if Golden Boy Promotions just had their fighters fight each other month in and month out..and had their own champion crowned.... white makes a ton of money because he never has to share it with anyone else...he owns it and promotes it....

 

uh I thought it did 800k and White was predicting 1.2 million PPV buys.

 

Dana is the white Don King!

 

Exactly. How can you go wrong when your the owner the promoter and the organization with a billionaire benefactor?

 

Boxing is a business, any business can change hands, all you have to do is become a majority share holder.
