UFC delays Montreal event to avoid Mayweather

Dana White when he found out Floyd PPV was the on Sept. 19th the same day as his UFC card last year... And I quote, "We're not scared of a Floyd Mayweather PPV... Now when Oscar De La Hoya used to do PPV we'd avoid his matches... but Floyd? No way no one wants to see him" Now after Floyd put a serious beatdown on his PPV, the UFC card did horrible numbers... he's tryna avoid any of Floyd fights like Tiger Woods avoids black women lol (im black btw chill)

**** Dana White

dana pussed out on this one. i remember him saying he only avoided de la hoya dates.

The UFC made the right move because there are some fans that like both sports... Now having said that, this has everything to do with Dana White and ZUFFA getting humbled. Sure some people involved in boxing said some negative things about MMA, but the vast majority just didn't care or know about it to even make comments. Instead, when the UFC broke out we had to endure every article and news piece talking about how the UFC is taking over and destroying boxing...every dam article that was introducing MMA to the world from 2005 up until recently (MMA is not the shinny new shocking sport anymore) had to mention that boxing was "dying" and MMA was taking its audience and all these news pieces had quotes from Dana White that went something like this: "I'm a boxing guy and love it but now let me tell you why it sucks, dying and why its not worth your time to ever watch it again." Sure White is a promoter and he is doing his best to make money and draw attention. But as a boxing fan it gets on your nerves that anything positive about the sport of boxing is turned into bullshit negative spin and at the same time all the nonsense that ZUFFA does is totally ignored by the spineless MMA media and the completely clueless mainstream media . Like mentioned previously, Dana White is a gigantic douche. Serves him right for holding that fake press conferences and taking petty shots at a legend like JMM.

It's the same negative shit that comes out of the mouth of every boxing pundit in the world!!! Stupid promoters, to many champions, to many weight classes, and not enough big fights are some of the things I have heard Dana White say about boxing. How are any of these any diffrent from the normal list of complaints your typical boxing has about boxing. its not the same. because the same boxing pundits also say positive things about the sport because they are actual fans of the sport dana white does not. cant you see dana agenda when he says something that amounts to this; dana says "boxing is dying sport and nobody watches it and quick side bar mma is awesome" i repeat finding me one positive comment dana white has said about present day boxing? dana white only mentions he is a boxing fan because he believes it gives him the right to rip on boxing because if any one ever makes the connection that he is a mma fighting league promoter and has a bias against boxing dana white will pull out his laminated card that reads "I am a Boxing Fan" dont be so naive. you can still like mma and recognize dana white agenda with his comments in regard to boxing

Dana White just getting abused by Floyd. He didnt want it to happen back to back events LOL

mayweather is the biggest attraction in boxing--Machida and Shogun are not the biggest attractions in MMA. but I don't know why Dana moves dates or puts up weak cards that are head-to-head with boxing. UFC does 15 ppv's a year, why would they worry about that 1 little ppv? If anything, Dana has the advantage of loading up that ppv card to pull ppl away from the boxing ppv. And if that doesn't work, than it's not a big loss. Kind of a stupid move by the UFC IMO. Mayweather did not go up against the Shogan machida fight. It was franklin vs Belfort which was a garbage bout that nobody really cared about. And the only reason that happened was because the Marquez Mayweather bout was moved to that date because Floyd got hurt and by that time it was to late to move the event. Stop acting like dana did it purpously because he didn't. He would of moved the date if he could of for fuk sake.

but i thought UFC was better than boxing and taking over ? what happened Joe Rogan? mayweather is the biggest attraction in boxing--Machida and Shogun are not the biggest attractions in MMA. but I don't know why Dana moves dates or puts up weak cards that are head-to-head with boxing.

Dana is such boxing fan then why is it every time he opens his mouth in regards to boxing he always says something negative? It's the same negative shit that comes out of the mouth of every boxing pundit in the world!!! Stupid promoters, to many champions, to many weight classes, and not enough big fights are some of the things I have heard Dana White say about boxing. How are any of these any diffrent from the normal list of complaints your typical boxing has about boxing.

Most Boxing fans(which dana is by the way) Dana is such boxing fan then why is it every time he opens his mouth in regards to boxing he always says something negative? If he is such a boxing fan then why is it that you dont ever hear anything positive from him about boxing? Were have you been pistol whip? dana white pull his "i am boxing fan card" when ever he wants to talk shit about it. find me one positive comment that you could quote dana white talking about present day boxing. I hear your noise about the nba talking shit about any other sport organization (your right it doesnt happen) but most if not all boxing promoters have never mention or utter the word mma or any mma fighting league to promote there boxing event or sport of boxing. unlike dana white, who makes sure to rip on boxing while promoting his fighting league. dont get it twisted dana white fighting league is competing with boxing as an mma fan that you are you should know that.

Pistol Whip, you just sound mad now...lol Put it this way, The UFC card on Sept 19 would have done better if it hadn't gone against Floyd. There are numbers that boxing took away from UFC that night, to contend otherwise is blindness Ugh do you even know who the fighters were on that card because I do. Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort is the MMA equivilent of Cory Spinks vs Verno phillips. The undercard was shit and the only other name on that card was Mirco Cro Cop who is MMA's equivelent of an Old Roy Jones Jr who doesn't know when to give up. This was a terriable UFC card that would of done poorly regardless of Floyd fighting that night. Did some UFC fans who liked boxing opt for the Floyd Marquez fight instead? Yes I was one of them but most MMA fans are die hard MMA fans and hate boxing just like most diehard boxing fans only watch boxing and hate MMA so the dent that was made in the crappy UFC card PPV numbers was marginal at best. The card did poorly because it was a card full of has beens and nobodys. It's stupid that you would think that hardcore MMA fans even give a fuk or even know whats going on in boxing because they don't. Like most hardcore boxing fans MMA fans are ignorent meatheads who for some stupid reason think that they have to take sides when it comes to this really stupid MMA vs Boxing debate.

What lesson do you keep talking about? The two sports arn't even in compatition for christ sake. It's like saying Basketball learned it's lesson against the NFL which is why Basketball season starts when Football season ends. According to you David Stearn(NBA Commissioner) is afraid of the NFL. This is seriously some stupid shit!!! If you don't like both why are you on this Boxing forum with MMgay's nuts in your mouth.

wtf does he mean its a joke? He is moving a show because this joke would destory it.Thats how i understood it. I love how Floyd is so willing to go head to head with the UFC to demolish it in PPV buys. The shit he talked about Rich Franklin going head to head with him was priceless.

"We were trying not to go the same night as boxing, but these guys can't get out of their own way," UFC president Dana White said in a text message to The Canadian Press. "I have never seen anything so dysfunctional as boxing. It's a joke."If the Mayweather fight came to fruition because Berto-Mosley fell out due to money issues or something, then I could understand UFC being upset over having to postpone their date and blaming it on boxing's self-destructive nature. But under the circumstances, I think they should just move their date and let things be.

White is scared shitless of that dysfunctional mess...

Most Boxing fans(which dana is by the way) thought Mayweather vs Marquez was a shit match up to begin with so what is he doing other than stating the obvious. And even if his card was strong enough to compete why would he do that? That would be fuking stupid? Dana isn't about killing boxing he's about making money and selling his sport to MMA fans. Dana doesn't care about boxing fans who hate MMA so why is he gonna waste his time competing for your money. It's like McDonalds trying to sell beef hamburgers to vegatarians. It's the casual fans that Dana White worries about.

lol at dana belittling boxing again , cant he just admit ufc wont be able to compete with boxing that night as his decision to move his event indicates.

Dana is a smart man and darn-it i wish boxing was its old self and had PPV like every-other month to knock the UFC outta rotation or atleast show it whose its daddy really is! Why can't people just enjoy other sports and be happy? It's this petty jelousy from boxing fans that really annoys me whenever this subject comes up. Next are you gonna want to have a PPV every sunday for 16 weeks during football season because people should only be watching Boxing? This thread is getting dumber by the second.
