Dana White on the Business of Boxing

As if you can't live extremely comfortably off of 500k a year? I prefer my fighters living well but I don't like them making 11 million a fight and getting fat and lazy.

 

Instead of getting pissed off at Dana White and trying to demean what he is saying, boxing should listen and learn from him. He speaks a lot of sense.

Getting all defensive, attacking what he says and demeaning it as irrelevant is not going to help the future of boxing. Boxing needs more promotion.

The majority of younger fans (no I don't have any stats to back this up, but it is pretty obvious just from talking to younger people in my town) are more interested in MMA than boxing. The way things are going right now, MMA will become more popular than boxing in the next 20 - 30 years.

Promotion is everything. I love boxing but even I have to admit that The Ultimate Fighter is a better, more entertaining show to watch than The Contender.

I've been a boxing fan since I was young and I think that way, what do you think the youth of today who have to choose their favorite fighting sport are thinking?

I can tell you now, the majority like MMA.

Boxing is strangling itself with it's greed.

In a country that many people swear by Crap like McDonalds, obviously promotion is everything.

Better undercards are a must and more promotion on regular TV would also help.

Just My Opinion.

 

Happy New Year Everybody!!!!!artytime:soccergr:dance:lama:beerwha:ukkearty:nutcase



Time for bed..............

 

Are you one of those hardasses who thinks only Heavyweight's matter?

I hope not, because then you'd suck.

 

Of course. Not but traditionally in ANY combat sport the heavyweights has always been the glamour division.

 

Dana white needs to shut up and stay in his crap mma organisation. No-one in boxing cares about him or his shitty company
