If Dana White got into the boxing Business

[fightfan_79]

and started signing alot exciting fighters exclusive to his boxing company and he called it "UFC Boxing".Would he make boxing bigger?



I think he would cause he`s willing to match best against the best more often then HBO boxing,he loads up PPV fights with exciting under-cards to help make UFC grow and does other things to promote UFC better then boxing is being promoted.

Lets compare and make sure folks ain't frontin....

Let's see how many of those promoters that can't stand him because he hates on boxing give one of his fighters a chance at one of their fighters belts. Not gonna happen.

Also you said he had your sister and her boyfriend come over to watch Tyson-Lewis? Well... those are 2 of the greatest heavyweights of all-time and Tyson was fighting with a lot of publicity behind him and the whole fight.

It still does`nt change the fact that the Promoters should have loaded up the under-cards with exciting fighters which was my point.

He can`t afford them?Have you looked at the earning Charts for UFC?UFC does way better then boxing on Average.THE PPVs with virtually unknown fighters do better then some boxers PPV with boxers that are well known.

Then why doesn't Dana pay his fighters more? I think I saw that Lesnar only made $650K to fight Carwin, yet Alfredo freaking Angulo was offered $750K for a fight? Answer: because UFC is basically the only game going in MMA. Sure, there are promotions like DREAM and Strikeforce, but anybody who's anybody in MMA knows that the only real way to become a household name in MMA is to be with UFC. Dana knows that so he can pay his fighters bargain basement prices. In boxing that would NOT be the case, which is probably why Dana has no interest in the sport.

UFC boxing?? WTF!? ****** idea!! Dana white should please stick to MMA bull****!!

"He tried working in boxing before and didn't do ****."

Did he have his own boxing League like he have in UFC?NO, big difference.


"The reason why he can be successful in MMA is because UFC is one company and all his fighters are signed to UFC. They also only have one belt for each weight class. He can get away with paying his fighters peanuts because they're the major promotional company in the US. He can staked his PPV's because his fighters are making something like 40-80K per fight without sharing the live gate or PPV sales."


If he were to use the same formula he uses in MMA except pay the boxers more?He made a ton money in UFC so he can afford it.


"Do you think top prospects and fighters would fight on the undercard of a PPV for 40K"

I think if they are not signed to big promoters and a major network they would.

Good luck getting fighters to fight for pennies when HBO is paying a lot of money to the top prospects. What does it say about MMA that prospects in boxing get larger contracts and make money money than the stars in MMA? Angulo turned down a million dollars package to fight Martinez for his belts and Angulo is not a draw, not a big name in the sport, and never sold PPVs as the star on the card.

Mosley makes 2M per fight, JMM makes 1M per fight, Khan makes 1M per fight, Martinez makes 1M per fight, etc.

Have you not seen what he pays them? And UFC PPV numbers are inflated by the hundreds of thousands.

top rank would never sell all their contracts over to white.

white lost a **** load of money when he bought out k9 or whatever.
