      Dana White in boxing would be huge. People can say all the crap they want but this guy gets **** done, and he has a bevy of boxers who got his back like Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, Kevin Kelly, Wayne McCullogh who works for UFC, you name it.

      Dana in boxing though would mean the death of MMA. Dana is no joke man this guy works hard as hell and he knows how to promote fights on mainstream, imagine if he was the producer of The Contender? the drama would boost ratings.

        Under his watch boxing would flourish. He makes the fights the fans want. Obviously that doesnt always happen in boxing with 4 world titles but his events would be solid... I hope he does get into boxing more

          The Boston area has historically turned out a lot of good boxers. If he can revive the scene there then it's a good thing.

          I still don't like him though and won't forget all the times that MMA fans said their sport was going to kill boxing off. Guess that never happened huh?

            Yeah just like how Dana made all those super fights. Silva vs GSP. Silva vs Jones and Fedor vs Brock.

            Oh wait he never did any of that dispite having all the top talent signed.

            MMA has been on a steady decline since 2010.

                  Lets not act like the guy is anymore then a boxercise instructor..

                  This guy has failed to make the main superfights happen in MMA..

                  And surpasses even Bob Arum in being a total ****

                  You guys are complete idiots,,,,, Dana has delivered great fights in each division,,

                  look at boxing,, is ggg-serg getting made, is burns-crawford, mares-donaire manny-floyd, bradley-floyd, LOL boxing cant even deliver fights in its own division let alone make superfights between different division champs,,

                  silva-gsp, or jones-silva are 2 different weightclass champs going at it,, would be the same as floyd vs serg, or rigo-garcia,,

                  At least dana makes the fights in each division,,, Just look at GSP, cash-cow comes back from a year off and defends vs the top 3 guys condit, diaz, hendricks, now look at who serg will fight after a layoff, wont be GGG or quillen
                  or floyd off a long break, he aint coming back vs manny
                  Brock lesnar was a huge cash cow, and they didnt protect him coming off a year long hiatus, he was put in with carwin, cain, overreem...

                  LOL you guys are idiots to talk **** about dana when boxing cant even make top fights in its own division let alone super fights between division champs

                    i dunno how i feel about this. i think people associate boston with micky ward too much. we're rough and tumble people but there aint a whole lot of world-class kinda fighters here right now. might make for an interesting reality show but it wouldnt be anything people havent seen before.

                    the plus side, i think it could boost local attendance here and get some of the younger kids interested and maybe produce some talent down the road...

                    to be honest, i think the rest of the country has had enough of us with the whole marathon thing and all of our major sports teams always making it to the world series, super bowl, etc.

                      Those fighters in the trailer look like nothing more than toughman competition, and that's putting it lightly. I can't see myself watching this. Dana White fails again.
