    Boxing would probably be worse, there's only 1 guy that is worse than King and Arum combined, and that is Dana White...as far as ripping fighters off amd politicking.

        This.... He'll piss on Ali's career just like he does Fedor and every other fighter he doesn't own or given to him.....


        Dana and Zuffa are slowly killing the sport of MMA.....

          Dana is horrible. The guy has absolutely no respect for fighters. He has shown that recently by ****ting on overeem, machida, and fedor in public. Three of the best fighters of their era and dana ****s on them for refusing to be his *****es.

            he would have the best fighting the best, but underpaying them like crazy. depends which side you look at it when considering to answer this question.

              1. No boxer would make $2-5Mill+. Not even Floyd, Pacquiao, Tyson, De La Hoya, etc. So they will be underpaid. The richest boxers will make something like 500k-1mill plus.

              2. Lol "if he ran boxing"? Boxing consists of different promoters. UFC is like a promotional company, like GBP, Top Rank, Dibella Entertainment, etc. Dana White doesn't even run MMA...MMA consists of Strike Force, UFC, and other MMA companies. How can run such a rich sport like boxing, when you don't even run a lesser, poorer sport like MMA.

              So if Dana White ran boxing, boxers would be viciously underpaid and we would have probably missed out on a lot of boxers because of their disgust at the payrolls making them play a better paying sport/company like NBA, MLB, NFL, and Mexican legends would have probably been pro Soccer players.

                Boxing would be even more split in two because White does absolutely zero cross promotion.

                  Yep, just like Bob Arum does to fighters who leave him or not part of his table. Arum can be an MMA boss if he wanted to, he has all the tools to do it.

                    They RELEASED Alistar Overeem and stripped him of his title....



                    They tried to force him to fight in September when he just fought a month ago... He didn't want to fight because he was injured. Dana White played it off as "His pinky toe was injured as soon as that is healed he can fight again" when they took him out of the tournament because he refused to fight on 1 Month's notice .... Found out last week hes has fractured ribs in his MRI tests...Because he like so many other guys didn't want them to bully him into what htey wanted him to do he didn't fight and instead got in October (the month where he was supposed to fight bigfoot in) on a Kick Boxing card because they tried to play hardball and he refused to give into them...So they released him out of spite and basically acted like he never existed.....


                    They've done stuff like this to so many fighters and media people its mind boggling how they can get away with it....







                    Now knowing this do you guys really want this guy or Zuffa for that matter running the sport of Boxing? Why do you guys think MMA fans always gets behind a new up and coming promotions?



                    I hope the FTC run Dana White and Zuffa into the ground....
