Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant Responds To Dana White's Verbal Jabs

[Ravens Fan]

MMA fighters have more losses because there's far less dodging going on. You don't get inflated records in MMA. MMA fighters constantly face opponents of a similar level. Which is why it is becoming a lot more popular.

Boxing politics is bull****. The sport is a slave to money and the thousands of people who depend on said money without actually adding anything to the sport.

I may be wrong but don't you think it would be much easier to consistently pair up world class fighters when your not paying them very much? Here is a number to think on. Rocky Marciano was earning more in his title fights almost 60 years ago then what White is paying his heavyweights champs now. So, MMA may be getting popular and White is making lots of cash but it doesn't seem like he is spreading the wealth to the fighters who are actually doing all the bleeding.

The point was that there have been several world champs with pitiful records like that like when Brock was like 4-1 and a world UFC champ. It was his point but I'm not sure you have the ilk to understand such things i guess.

I never saw the video or read anything about Dana Whites comments, but they say he sided with Mayweather? White and Mayweather must be working on some business deal together because Dana White is one of the biggest Mayweather haters out there. Either way Larry Merchant > Dana White.

i usually dislike Larry and that whole crew of HBO , but he shredded the UFC with 1 line.

[The Evil 1-2]

U F C President D ana White has been on quite the tear lately, telling various media outlets his unabashed thoughts towards HBO color commentator Larry Merchant. On September 17th, Merchant got into a bit of verbal fisticuffs with Floyd Mayweather Jr. following the fighter’s shocking 4th round knockout over Victor Ortiz in Las Vegas and White was quick to side with Mayweather.
