Dana White 103......Mayweather is fighting "what's his name?"

[Sin City]

Like I said, some people say we shouldn't **** on UFC, two different sports. But who started this beef? UFC brings itself up by putting boxing down. Remember the comercial, Wrestling isn't real, Boxing used to be real, can't remember the next line, someone help me out here. Fucked up ain't it?

exactly.. I LAUGH at those who cry about the rivalry and the **** that is said because they act like Dana White and UFC are innocent. Every time you bring up who started this rivalry they play dumb, def and blind though.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

the only reason Mayweather has MMA in his mouth is because he is replying back to **** that Dana White has said.. It's Dana White who constently has boxing in his mouth.
I think Dana is more threatened by Boxing then the other way around.

Or he can't really sell tickets and had to stir up that old hornets nest again in order to create revenue.

Whats funny is that when you have so much competition for particular service or product, the consumer normally benefits from cheaper costs at a higher quality, you get more **** for your buck. Yet, with all the promoters and people involved in boxing, it doesn't happen.

In the business model you are describing, the products compete independently for the consumer. I walk into Duane Reade and I'm getting either Tylenol OR Advil. I go to Pathmark and i'm getting Coke Or Pepsi. The consumer decides on the relative value.

But when you have a Top Rank fighter that can directly devalue a Golden Boy fighter, it is a different paradigm.

Funny how you guys are getting all mad and hurt at him spitting the truth. Dana White is on point....though I think its bull**** on him being a big boxing fan.

First things first. I hope youre not saying that JMM is nobody. What specifically do you agree with because he said a lot of ****** **** and I dont want to think youre that ****** too. I am a person who loves both the UFC and Boxing and it is obvious to me that Dana is reaching for pub. Anyone who saw Silva destroy Franklin twice will not pay top dollar for him as the headliner. May vs JMM wins easy. DAna and Rich Franklin must be life partners because thats the only way any CEO of the UFC would push for him as the main event.

Haha. Its kind of funny how you will just jump on board with anyone who shares any of your views on any fighter.

I've been agreeing with White on a lot of opinions he has had on boxing.

Casual fans aren't buying UFC cards for the fighters, but rather because of the BRAND. UFC has done an incredible job of marketing UFC as an entity, rather than market their fighters individually for the sole reason that their fighters will come and go, but a BRAND will last longer. They're marketing the BRAND as exciting and worth the money which is something boxing can't do.

Excellent analysis. Spot on.

as a boxing fan, i say the same thing ("'what's his name' is fighting who?") when someone tries to talk to me about mma. i don't have anything against the sport (ufc, on the other hand...), i just don't follow it.

and any "big boxing fan" would not forget juan manuel marquez's name.

Not at all. He claims he's a big boxing fan but yet he doesn't know who Marquez is. Bull**** OR it could be he really does know Marquez but didn't want to mention his name due to criticize Mayweather on the opponent he's facing instead of Pac. But like I said, to me its more of the bull****.

Do some research, He trained as a boxer since he was a kid in chicago, He owns a gym that trains BOXERS AND MMA FIGHTERS. You people call him ignorant. And he knew marquez name, It was just an act
