[EXCLUSIVE] Dana White Talks Mayweather-Pacquiao

Mayweather, Pacquiao super-fight will be good for business White believes that the huge amount of pay-per-view buys expected for the future boxing fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will be good for all combat sports. He also says he can't wait to watch the fight. "I think it's going to be great for the business," White said. "In these hard economic times, (the UFC) and boxing are proving that combat sports have never been bigger than they are right now. That's going to be a great fight and I'm excited for that fight." http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/dec/10/dana-white-talks-mayweather-pacquiao-says-brock-le/

He's stated prior that he wants to see Mayweather vs Pacquiao, but didn't understand why JMM vs Floyd even got made, and of course people hated on him for that (even the ones who actually had the same attitude). he was right. jmm-floyd was garbage.

Dana white knows after PAC vs PBF, there wont be another big PPV attraction like this for boxing. But UFC still got Lesnar vs Fedor. Im curious to see which of the two would get the highest PPV buys tho. hmmmm. PAC vs PBF > lesnar vs Fedor

The guys an asshole but i dont see why the two sports have to be mutually exclusive. Im a boxing fan first but i can watch UFC when i bored shitless. The sports should work together. Imagine how much money could be made if they had boxing and MMA on the same cards. Could be fun!

Lesnar is on UFC, Fedor is on Strikeforce, you must be talking about Frank Mir. They will make this fight happen, guarantee you that. After the last bout of fedor is televised in the state, there was buzz about the possible of the two could meet. And fighter could easily go to another organization if they wanted, if they contract is expired tho.
