Comments Thread For: Dana White: James Toney is Capable, Couture Should Win

[ChopperRead]

say the real check is right under 2 mill if you count under table money and Sponsorship.

Don't know if he's getting PPV money. I know Couture and Penn are.

Toney is totally out of shape and will probably tap out the second something goes wrong -- and walk away with a big paycheck, laughing at Dana White.

The bad thing is he makes boxing look terrible. But for Toney, it's a nice con, played on a con-man in White. They always say con-men are the first ones to fall for a great con. Looks like that's true here.

Cintron's "high school level wrestling" was so good that he earned full scholarships to Ohio State and Wisconsin. If you put that skill together with his boxing he would be a nightmare for most MMAers.

Which is exactly why Dana White never opened his mouth again about Cintron, once Kermit accepted Dana's "challenge."

getting a scholarship and actually riding on it are two different things.

The point is that he was a good enough wrestler to get a full ride at two Big Ten schools.

Business wise: He isn't a big enough name. Grayhairs at ESPN aren't hanging on his nuts.

Other then that, it' because he's Dana White.

But we don't know if he would have been Div 1 good.

You can be good enough in high school....but in college it isn't good enough.
