Dana White: "Pacquiao-De La Hoya, Bad Day For Boxing"

[Check]

And y'all wonder why you can't seem to get mainstream exceptance again.

Pitiful.

You act like MMA is any more mainstream than boxing lol. Espn still covers both sports the same. Boxing is on ESPN which is bigger than ****e. Boxing is also now becoming a huge show on the VS network. And as we can see when major events in boxing happen(cotto v marg) ESPN still covers it more than MMA. Boxing is more mainstream in every country in the world except Japan.

Well a senior citizen showed up against Pac.

Couture's in his mid 40's Oscar is mid 30's quite a bit of an age difference. Also Pac is a real fighter he's not rey Masterio. Plus Oscar just chased Floyd and got a split decision against Floyd last year. I'm tired of people acting like this was just because Oscar is older. Pacman punched him out plain and simple.

White is right about the production, for 40 minutes Lampley and crew had to fill space with talk and prefight interviews, meanwhile you can clearly see some other bouts going on in the background. I already bought the PPV (this time) I don't need any more promotion material. I would have much rather seen some of the non-televised fights shown instead, which is one thing UFC does right, keep the action going.

Boxing fans hate just as much on MMA as MMA fans do on boxing - This thread proves it and it's all ****** as ****.

Dana was right about the production, it could've been put together alot better. Anyone who says that isn't a hater of boxing, they're just being honest. Open your eyes..

Maybe Dana White should stay away from making comments about boxing? WTF are you talking about? Give where credit is due and even in the lowly days of boxing UFC won't be able to match its huge fan base and you can only dream about Manny Pacquaio, ODLH and other boxing greats coz UFC/MMA will never ever have one like those legends.

Grow up!

He makes a point about the card bein a ripoff, but the result is great for boxing imo. And **** White anyway. Boxing>MMA.

Haha,what about him making a match with a 47 year old shot UFC fighter against a former WWE Wrestler,who only had 2 FIGHTS!! and lost in his debut,now that former WWE Wrestler is the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP OF UFC,thats the biggest joke

[GTL]

i thought i was the only one who thought that Mmay would come outta retirement to fight the pacman
I guess i was wrong
Teddy Altas and Dana White think the same..
so do some posters..

Mmay would beat pac easy

[ELHURACAN58]

Its funny, Dana in almost all of his interviews says "I love boxing", "I was a boxer" and "but"
