I like how he organises the UFC fighting schedule but that's about the extent of my respect for this man. He shouldn't last too long in the business anyway.

It will flop. No boxer in his right mind would fight for that guy. He runs the ufc like a dictator and pays his stars so little while he keeps so much.

Idk about that. The same reason guys don't wanna go to DAZN would be the same reason guys don't wanna land on Fight Pass. In fact even doe Fight Pass has been around longer than DAZN in the US I have no reason to believe they have more subs than DAZN. Yeah thats true

They have the money to splurge. I just wonder who will actually jump to it. I think Wilder would be a good face for that. It could finally be that mega deal he's been waiting on.

Lou DiBella? Notice he has stepped back from Promoting a bit, I wonder if this is the reason, him positioning himself for a major Exec Job. When Lou DiBella was running HBO/TVKO it was at its best the PPV Numbers and Ratings was GREAT for boxing so I hope it is him! Brilliant Boxing Mind! If not Lou then hopefully somebody else who can help build this things up and fully know the current Landscape of Boxing. More Big Money Investors Spending money on Boxing? SIGN ME UP! I'm all in for Zuffa Boxing and I'm a UFC fan as well and love what Dana has done with the UFC! Pay Scale is much higher in boxing, guys are not going to take less so they're going to have to pay much better than they do UFC Fighters!

White will have to pay at least market value to succeed in boxing, which completely blows up the business model that he rode to success with the UFC. Or he puts everyone out of business and monopolizes boxing . At least, that's his plan.

Stay away from boxing. This crook pays his superstars in the hundred thousands at best in spite of massive PPV's. Can't wait until it all crashes and burns so he can move on back the MMA UFC dousche bag land.
