    Dana isn't about killing boxing he's about making money and selling his sport to MMA fans. Dana doesn't care about boxing fans who hate MMA so why is he gonna waste his time competing for your money.


    It's like McDonalds trying to sell beef hamburgers to vegatarians.
    It's the casual fans that Dana White worries about.

        "We were trying not to go the same night as boxing, but these guys can't get out of their own way," UFC president Dana White said in a text message to The Canadian Press.

        "I have never seen anything so ***********al as boxing. It's a joke."
        If the Mayweather fight came to fruition because Berto-Mosley fell out due to money issues or something, then I could understand UFC being upset over having to postpone their date and blaming it on boxing's self-destructive nature.

        But under the circumstances, I think they should just move their date and let things be.

          Thats how i understood it. I love how Floyd is so willing to go head to head with the UFC to demolish it in PPV buys. The **** he talked about Rich Franklin going head to head with him was priceless.

            It's like saying Basketball learned it's lesson against the NFL which is why Basketball season starts when Football season ends.


            According to you David Stearn(NBA Commissioner) is afraid of the NFL. This is seriously some ****** ****!!!
            If you don't like both why are you on this Boxing forum with MMgay's nuts in your mouth.

              Pistol Whip, you just sound mad now...lol


              Put it this way, The UFC card on Sept 19 would have done better if it hadn't gone against Floyd.

              There are numbers that boxing took away from UFC that night, to contend otherwise is blindness

                Ugh do you even know who the fighters were on that card because I do. Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort is the MMA equivilent of Cory Spinks vs Verno phillips. The undercard was **** and the only other name on that card was Mirco Cro Cop who is MMA's equivelent of an Old Roy Jones Jr who doesn't know when to give up.


                This was a terriable UFC card that would of done poorly regardless of Floyd fighting that night. Did some UFC fans who liked boxing opt for the Floyd Marquez fight instead? Yes I was one of them but most MMA fans are die hard MMA fans and hate boxing just like most diehard boxing fans only watch boxing and hate MMA so the dent that was made in the crappy UFC card PPV numbers was marginal at best. The card did poorly because it was a card full of has beens and nobodys.



                It's ****** that you would think that hardcore MMA fans even give a *** or even know whats going on in boxing because they don't. Like most hardcore boxing fans MMA fans are ignorent meatheads who for some ****** reason think that they have to take sides when it comes to this really ****** MMA vs Boxing debate.

                  Dana is such boxing fan then why is it every time he opens his mouth in regards to boxing he always says something negative?

                  If he is such a boxing fan then why is it that you dont ever hear anything positive from him about boxing?

                  Were have you been pistol whip?

                  dana white pull his "i am boxing fan card" when ever he wants to talk **** about it. find me one positive comment that you could quote dana white talking about present day boxing.

                  I hear your noise about the nba talking **** about any other sport organization (your right it doesnt happen) but most if not all boxing promoters have never mention or utter the word mma or any mma fighting league to promote there boxing event or sport of boxing.

                  unlike dana white, who makes sure to rip on boxing while promoting his fighting league.

                  dont get it twisted dana white fighting league is competing with boxing as an mma fan that you are you should know that.

                    Maybe they should have asked for Dana White's permission first before they made the fight on the same night.
