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'

[Kannabis Kid]

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

Lol just watch a simple YouTube video and you will see why the sphere is sought after. I passed by it recently and it looks badass from the outside but it barely started putting on concerts recently, U2 is the main one so far. I'm not a fan of their music but I respect them as a band and the show looked dope.

It doesn't matter who gets it first anyways though fights will happen from both sports there guaranteed and they will all be enjoyable, Dana is just always in a single man competition with boxing when boxing could care less about UFC. There's a reason why so many UFC fighters are retiring early and changing promotions they want that money.

USADA announced the end of the partnership with UFC in 2024.

Fighters react to UFC, USADA breakup

Maybe they are going to VADA?

I can see the Sphere being a big marketing venue. Fight on the inside, outside viewers can see snippets of the fight and maybe make a casual fan. I dunno the long term viability of that but the first few times would be cool.

I still remember when Dana White called Oscar DeLaHoya "DeLa F**ckin Hoya" LMAO!

why would i care if its at the sphere or mgm

Of course when you create a dubious monopoly based on underpaying and exploiting your fighters while trapping them in 360 deals that gives you a cut of everything they ever do then yeah you’ll spend THEIR money on booking a sphere
Roid Rage kickin that bald guy’s ass
on the topic of the sphere…cool little trick or whatever but it’s only gonna be new for a bit then it’ll be something else new to obsess over
who cares who holds an event there first?

All of these guys including White, Arum, DLH and Hearns fight like schoolgirls. Pathetic. The only thing I like about Haymon is he does not participate.

That's because most promoters pay their fighters properly unlike Dana who hoards it all, this dude is such a scumbag even his own mother hates him.

Stay humble Dana. Yes, the undercards on the UFC are admittedly better in terms of more even matches.

Is he thinking of a crossover fight? I don't think Tank Davis vs 'O Malley is a big fight, now or later.

As good as Sean is; but it's like Ngannou trying his luck at boxing against the best heavyweight boxer on the planet, just a snowball's chance.
