Dana White talks about battling Mayweather's PPV on 9/19

[TheNegation]

"Very good chance"? No way.

"A chance"? Yes. Absolutely.

Machida may not be Jesus, but he's arguably the Fedor Emelianenko of the worldwide light heavyweight division.

Nice to see a fellow MMA fan, BTW.

That's a stretch and it's too early to say. Tito is washed up, Thiago Silva was unwarranted hype and played right into Machida's style, and Rashad didn't stick to his gameplan.

Shogun has unorthodox striking, good recovery from shots, high energy when he's in shape, sick bodylock and trip takedowns that are hard to telegraph and he is MUCH better on the ground than Machida. His BJJ is very slick.

Ive seen his fights in Pride. Too bad that was in Pride years ago. Just like Wanderlei Silva was a killer in Pride but ain't **** now. They still have him headlining PPV's and hes 1-5 in his last 6 fights. Just show highlights from Pride tell people he is a killer

Wanderlei has also not been that same sadly since he was Ko'd by Cro Cop. It sucks. If it was anyone headlining a UFC PPV going 1-5 they'd have been cut, but Wanderlei brings guaranteed excitement and violence and that sells.

Dana White is one of the smartest business men out there. He could literally put a piece of **** in the ring and hype it up to be gold.

LOL. That is true actually.

PBF vs JMM is 2 fighters in their prime 2 top 3 p4p fighters in the world today. It's better than any fight UFC have put on this year or coming up period.

That's ridiculous. UFC 100 is going to be ridiculous. GSP/Alves, Lensar/Mir, Bisping/Hendo, Akiyama, Fitch...

No way in hell it's better than UFC 100

[FadeToBlack]

You're an idiot nobody knows or cares about Uriah Faber or Mike Thomas Brown.

Nobody cares about JMM vs. PBF either, but that wasn't the point I was making anyway. Reading is fundamental, even for ******s such as yourself.

[FadeToBlack]

That's a stretch and it's too early to say.

Machida arguably hasn't lost a round since coming into the UFC. Very few guys go undefeated in the UFC, but even fewer (zero) have arguably never lost a single round they've fought and we're talking about 7 fights he's participated in. That's a lot of rounds. Hardly anyone besides Fedor has been this dominant in MMA. The guy Machida defeated for the title, Rashad Evans, was one of the OTHER aforementioned undefeated fighters in the UFC, who won his first 10 fights in the UFC. Going 10-0 is also VERY RARE, even if he arguably lost to Tito, still, going 9-1 is nothing short of incredible for a guy whose frame is small for his own division.

GSP-Alves is an easy fight for GSP. He weill get him down and dominate. Lesnar-mir. Man Lesnar has had a handful of fights. Just like Floyd said don't take much other there does it. Lets be real neither guy is great and no where near Floyds or Marquezs level. Bisping-Henderson is a ****ty fight. Bisping is a joke and Henderson is another Pride guy thats old and past his best. Akiyama/Fitch come on bro.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

For once ; I agree with Dana White.

He spoke the absolute truth, and didn't **** on boxing at all.

Has he turned a new corner?

What truth did he speak? He talks about boxing is ****** for putting cards on the same night. This guy would put counter programming on when Affliction and Elite-XC would put on cards. He said he didn't try and avoid Floyd. You can bet your ass if Floyds fight was scheduled for September 19th before his card was he would have done his best not to go head to head with it. Boxing chose to go head to head with UFC not vice versa.

He always ****s on boxing. Im a boxing guy i love boxing but........ When was the last time he had anything posotive to say about boxing?

I can see your view but I think this is the most complimentary he's ever been to boxing, on record.

He keeps saying over and over again that he loves it. (Who know if he actually does or not, but I believe him because he was an amateur boxer.)

He talks about how the UFC used to avoid scheduling **** around Oscar because they knew they couldn't compete.

He hits the nail on the head about Mayweather not being a draw ; Floyd can sell a ticket to save his ******* if he's not fighting another superstar. And more than half of the people who goto PBF/JMM and buy it on PPV will be Mexicans who love Marquez or people who hate Floyd.

He's a bit contradicting in that "2 cards on 1 night" thing, because as you say ; he does it himself.

But overall, I liked the tone of it.

It's better than listening to Joe Rogan run off at the mouth like the abrasive **** he is about how much my sport sucks, and how amazing his is.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Are you the same dude they used to call Chicanita? lol Anyway You only agreed with him because he said something good about De La Hoya.

I agreed that Mayweather is not a superstar.

Who would want to go against a DLH PPV dude?? Business common sense lol.

[Heru]

Keep telling yourself that. If that were the case MMA wouldn't be getting sanctioned in countless states and foreign countries, getting TV deals, and fighters being recognized as athletes, being nominated for ESPY awards.

They'd be going under if that was the case.

It's interesting that the boxing hardcores are the only ones who are complaining. Roy Jones Jr held a boxing/MMA event. For ****s sakes even Jim Lampley says he has no problem with it. Of all people.

Get over it.

Keep telling myself what? The truth. That boxing is miles ahead of mmgay in terms of excitement. The difference in the way they're run is huge, UFshe has 95% of the top fighters and if they don't they have access to them. Not even close in boxing, if a promoter doesn't want to risk his meal ticket, he doesn't have to.

If boxing ever had the type of a structure, mma has, this wouldn't even be an argument because boxing is way better. The #1 fights the #2 all the time in the UFshe, if that happened in boxing at the same rate, boxing would be close to #1 in the world. **** outta here.

You said absolutely nothing in this paragraph. Next.


Ali Act is a boxing law, Einstein. Show me where the Ali Act was enforced in the NFL, MLB, NBA, or any other promotional sports organization. Answer: it hasn't, because those aren't boxing organizations. LOL!

It was intended for boxing, but why do you think Dana White is fighting so much for those not to be enforced on them? Its a law to protect fighters and it made most-all of Don King's contracts with fighters void. Do some research dumbass.

The bold parts are nothing but personal opinion. Who doesn't want to see #1 vs #2??

[Queen_Leia]

White has a point....but at the same time it put to rest the Mayweather PPV was having money issues because they are going head-to-head again.
