Dana White: UFC Is Now Bigger Than Boxing & WWE Combined

[Barry Halls]

Its true. Boxing did it to themselves with their greed. I bet if Dana was in charge of boxing we would have Pac vs Floyd already.

why would we have had that?

he couldnt even get Fedor to fight. and fedors ego is nothing compared to either pac or floyd.

UFCs business model and the way they build not only the top2-3 guys in the world, but their whole roster is impressive.
Top20 in each weightclass in mma is a known name to casualfans. The same can not be remotely said about boxing.

[Rosseboi]

In terms of money making; he's right. Sad but true.

Boxing imo still has the greatest talent but he is right.

[Barry Halls]

if he's that confident that UFC is bigger, why doesn't he release PPV numbers for their event

uhh.. he does?

[Mr. Fantastic]

All the fighters are under Zuffa(UFC owners) so whoever they match up, it happens, the fighters can't refuse or pick opponents in MMA. Dana White tells em 'you're fighting (name) next, get ready kid'

Exactly!! They still make money and they don't have to be little divas like Pac and Mayweather.

[Kevin Malone]

They sold out arenas in Australia, Germany, England and their planning on going to China by the end of the year or next year. They are expanding big time.

He's saying right now even though I know they are growing. He's a promoter, and I'm not buying what he's promoting.

So he has one strike but look how many fights that happened for the fans cause of him. Many!

UFC 100 did 1.4 million PPV buys, I think they released them. Brock Lesnar and GSP are the biggest draws in the UFC.

Fedor's management (M1 Global) didn't want to sign with the UFC. There was nothing Dana could have done, he can't make Fedor sign the dotted line but now after buying WEC and Strikeforce, he pretty much owns 80% of the MMA fighters out there.

ye but most of the superfights havn't happened or won't happen.

gsp silva, silva jones etc.

it IS a lot better than boxing when it comes to steady high quality matchups, but the pac mayweather BS is mostly because of 2 giant turds with even bigger egos.

so if pacs/mayweathers "management" didnt want to sign the fight, just like they do now, he wouldnt have been able to make it happen either.
