This is a slave contract has Pierre is retired so he cannot box or do anything to do with fighting LOL lawyers supposed to stop this bulls***

Please explain why BOXING FANS, are disappointed that this fight isn't happening? Do you really think GSP has a chance? Dana is protecting his fighters. I'm sure if GSP wanted to return to MMA, Dana would have no problem. GSP is making good money as an actor.

It's called freedom. Before the seventies, Major League Baseball also was totalitarian, owning its players as if held in slavery; however, once it saw the light of day, and players were no longer its ******, MLB flourished, bringing in revenues never before seen. Why doesn't Dana White see the light and free his UFC ******? You tell me, MicChecka, why should Dana White exercise totalitarian state/slave owner control, over fighters who sign with the UFC. Especially when the fighters are not trying to compete in a rival MMA organization but rather in boxing. Is there any rational reason for this? Or is an insane man exercising dictatorial powers because MMA is throwaway entertainment not worthy of Constitutional protections? In addition, Dana White took the position that MMA fighters would always beat boxers. That hasn't held true despite almost all of the boxers who've engaged in MMA being either at the tail end of a career or else fully retired. Dana White's reluctance to set up competition between Terence Crawford and a UFC fighter makes me wonder if he ever believed that any UFC fighter could beat each and every boxer in the cage. He certainly isn't acting like he believes it now. And as for street fighting, by its very nature, outcomes are far more difficult to predict; however, as I see it, a good boxer/fighter, with KO power, is in a better position to win than a fighter of any other discipline. Why? Because of the need to strike first fastest and hit hardest, enough to make short work of the opponent. But that's only my opinion, and the best we can do on street fighting is time will tell.

In my opinion its always been Boxing > MMA....but I completely understand Dana whites decision here.....you can't have one of your greatest fighters in history going out there and getting knocked out in the 1st round because that's exactly what was gonna happen.

Makes no sense . Gsp could easily fight outside the usa in a exhibition boxing match and no government can touch him . Just do it .
