Comments Thread For: Hearn Still Very Interested in Making Whyte vs. Ngannou Two Fight Series

[Inspired]

This proves how far boxing has fallen and how much the UFC has risen. 20 years ago this would be laughable. I will say it again. UFC winning.

err no, ngannou is calling out boxers. Eddie hearn responded to those questions by talking about Whyte's own desire to fight Ngannou inc their little online press conference.
Whyte originally was just talking about how he wants to beat up joshua in a cage, that he isn't just a boxer (with his k1 background).
that's when talk of fighting a ufc hw and ngannou popped up, moreso because ngannou is a puncher.

sick of these lazy ****** posts.
'20 yrs ago this would have been laughable'
ufc was nowhere 20 yrs ago, but 25 yrs ago mike tyson was going to the wwf...
floyd mayweather went to the wwe too, so you're talking absolute crap.

also, it kind of was built up when tyson fury, shane, said he wants a real fight with whyte's fake brother lamar scott.
lamar responded with 'if he wants to fight boxing we can do that, if he wants to fight in a cage we can do that, i prefer the cage' (not the exact words but along those lines).

that's when the idea of having fights in both formats sprang up with whyte talking about wanting to beat up joshua in a cage or a street fight LOL.

Normally I would agree, dayzin is primarily a Mexican American affair due to Canelo. However, we agree that ufc is primarily a white American targeted endeavour....and I believe white America will take heavy interest in seeing the ufc champion against a boxer. It’s sold well in the past....most ufc fans over 30 remember seeing James Toney dominated when he tried, and surely the ufc would hype that up along with art jimmerson from the 90s. Die hard ufc fans have always been an anti-boxing lot for very complicated reasons [/QUOTE

Goodness dude for someone who hates mma so much you sure comment on every single article to say its a white sport. I think youre secretly a fan in denial.

Why does every fight have to be a 2 fight deal with Hearn? Hearn needs a 2 fight deal in order for his fighters to save face in case they lose. Is Whyte gonna fight Povetkin a 3rd time since they're both 1-1? Same thing with AJ/Ruiz

This is a 1 MMA bout and 1 boxing match, not a rematch clause I think you’re referring to

UFC by average is more popular in the United States. So it’s not crap.

that wasnt my point. you said 20 yrs ago it would have been laughable, but 25 yrs ago mike tyson was in the wwf.
