Comments Thread For: Dana White Blasts De La Hoya, Arum, Says He Will Be First To Stage Fight at The Sphere: 'None of These Bums Have The Money'

UFC makes nowhere near the live gates that boxing does.
The Sphere is a trip , it would be nice to see a well produced show using all of the capabilities of the place.

Is there a reason having a fight at the sphere a big deal?

Carnela was the first fighter from boxing and ufc to fight at the new t-mobile arena and nobody gives af about it now or even right after

That’d be a **** venue for fights though

Dana White's going to pay 5 million to secure a fight at The Sphere. Charge $80 PPV, make around $100 million in revenue. Pay the main event fighters, like 250,000 bucks each, rofl. The rest, he opens his back pockets wide and says, pour it in!

Of course Dana Wight has money, Boxing promoters actually pay their fighters....Dana is in the salve business.

USADA announced the end of the partnership with UFC in 2024.
Is everyone taking steroids starting in January?

Fighters react to UFC, USADA breakup

I'd like to think they hire someone new to do the testing BUT I'm not optimistic about that lol. Its about to be the TRT era or more likely even worse with juiced up mfers soon.

Sounds like the McGregor thing is some of the reason if not the main reason they aren't being reupped with so even if they do hire someone new its a safe bet they are more yes men than the USADA was.

Idk man it looks pretty dope to me for anything. I think you could have some wild entrances, graphics & replays with the tech there that'd make it a very unique fight watching experience.

100%. I give less than no fooks about U2, but those clips of that show there looked dope. There's a lot of cool sh^t you could do there for a boxing event that ppl haven't seen before or seen it like it could be done there.

I still wanna see ODLH fight Dana. Maybe they can do that at the Sphere?

[HandsofIron]

When the.best Dana can do is put on a show headlined by women, you know the UFC is in the s h i t t e r.

Boxing with the 1-2 on the UFC this whole year without breaking any sweat.
