I can't believe Dana White believes that Mayweather interview is true.

This guy discredits himself every time he opens his mouth.

It's funny how they try to cover up their obvious bias by calling themselves boxing fans. These guys are ****ing clowns.

How is it biased when before Dana and the Fertita's bought the UFC, Dana was an Amateur Boxer and ran a boxing gym in Boston?

Because he's slandering a boxing card/boxers who are going head-to-head with his event, hence there's a clear conflict of interest.

It's kinda like how he calls Fedor overrated.

Exactly what I'm sayin.

They are boxing fans, they just aren't stupid. They know the business, they are in the business. No bias, they just aren't stupid.

That's the business.

Is the president of the UFC going to go in there and talk up and boxing card while putting down his own organization? No. He's and boxer, a boxing fan and he attends boxing events. But when it comes to selling his product, of course he's going to downplay Mayweather/Marquez.

Same reason Floyd downplays MMA so he can sell his fight, while he has already stated he respects MMA.

Same with Fedor. He talks up Anderson Silva and downplays Fedor to sell his own product. Meanwhile he's still trying to sign Fedor, desperately actually. It's the way of the business.

So then, you admit they were being was being bias.

I was pointing out that it was funny, to me, how they transparently tried to cover up their bias by saying they're boxing fans. As if that has anything to do with them being bias.

Also Dana's scum. You can try all you like but you wont convince me otherwise.

I wouldn't call it biased because it's not like he prefers one thing over the other.

For example let's say I work at Best Buy but I buy my electronics from Amazon.com because it's cheaper.

It's my job to pimp stuff at Best Buy because it puts cash in my pocket, but that doesn't mean that I like Best Buy.

At the same time I'd get nowhere pimping Amazon.com. I'd be turning customers another direction (in this case MMA fans) and I'd be losing business and ultimately-money

Make sense?

No. Don King is Scum.

Dana is just an attention whore

Regardless of the rational, it is still bias. The Mayweather-Marquez card is competing with the UFC. Hence statements made by the UFC president about the Marquez-Mayweather card are made in the context of a conflict of interest, hence they are biased. Get it?

And yes, Dana White is scum. Don King may be lower on the scum totem pole, but Dana is scum all the same.

Well if you were a boxing fan getting paid to promote an MMA card, what would you call it?

And yes, Dana White is scum. Don King may be lower on the scum totem pole, but Dana is scum all the same.

I respect your opinion. But Dana is one of the main people responsible to bringing MMA to to forefront. Like it or not, while Don King and the likes have been tearing **** down.

Dana just loves the camera and the attention so he can talk and let everyone know what he thinks.

Looks at the UFC 100 website. They have a "Dana's Analysis" like anybody gives a **** what he thinks

Once again regardless of the rational it is still biased. And once again, I was pointing out that I found it funny how they tried to cover it up. And the reason I found it funny is because they are clowns.

Dana White hates boxing because he failed at it when he tried to be a boxing promoter.
