Comments Thread For: Dana White Lashes Out at Arum Over Pacquiao-Marquez

[WESS]

We all knew Pac should have fought the man who took his belt. That is common sense.

So now, he needs to fight Bradley next.

This is an odd comment coming from Dana White because he's notorious for trying to serve up his fighters in order to make money. It reeks of absolute hypocrisy. He's been attempting to pit his champions from WW to MW against each other so that he can make money from super fights with GSP vs Anderson Silva and Silva vs Jon Jones. I imagine he's speaking from the perspective of a fan, but as a promoter he's the kind of guy that would put Pacquiao in the ring with one of the Klitschkos if he thought it would sell.

Exactly. If Arum had made the Bradley fight then White would be saying "Ah boxing is doing it to you again, why make a fight with a guy who everyone knows was the loser last time out. This is why boxing is dying and the UFC... Blah blah "

He's telling us that Arum should be doing what he's been complaining about boxing doing for the last ten years.

Concentrate on your own business you absolute phoney.

Most of you are blinded by UFC hate, Jesus! I'm not even a fan of MMA, but if there's a good standup fight, I'll watch. As far as Dana White, he's basically ****ting on Arum for not making the pacquiao/mayweather fight, which is the biggest failure in matchmaking ever. Also, he thinks PAC shoulda gotten his belt back first instead of going for the money fight in which pacquiao even if he won would not look good doing it, because let's be honest Marquez has Pacquiao's #, as we saw decisively this time around. And if there's something to love about the UFC is their matchmaking under one Czar.

This is usually the one subject Dana White likes to talk about that I tend to agree with him... Arum sucks and all... But this time around, he just sounds like he's wining about something... I don't know what? If he's butt-hurt Marquez won, or if it killed one of his UFC events, or something... But he just doesn't make sense

He is just pissed that this KO loss for Manny actually helped boxing with the main stream. He probably also put money on Manny contrary to what he says and lost a **** load of money.

Dana White is a failure as a promoter because he's actually damaged MMA by limiting fighters pay and benefits.
The sport was growing so fast but is stagnant now because of him and the Ferritas.

[Ringlife]

Well, I am glad Dana white is not a boxing Promotor. No way Bradley vs Pac sells anything on PPV that's why Arum staged Pac vs Marquez 4 and now he can staged the 5th fight in 2013.

Hahaha yeah, I bet he did lose a lot of money on Pacquiao... "Uhh yeah, terrible match-up Bob Arum, even though I won a bunch of money betting on Marquez because I'm smart and cool and I own the UFC. I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!!!"

arum puts pac in with fighters he KNOWS pac won't lose to for the most part

so when arum was floyds promoter, he did the same right?
