Dana White next boxing promoter?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

He will find it difficult when he sees that his $600k purses for the best boxers will be laughed at, and his $90-150k for B fighters will be looked at as an April Fool's joke. He's going to have a hard time if he comes into boxing with his stingy style when he sees boxers demands of Anderson Silva money for B fighters, and astronomical figures for A fighters.

Everyone gets paid in UFC,,,, look at the bottom guy, he is getting 8 grand,,, bottom guy in boxing isn't getting that....

Pay scales are skewed,,, If ggg was in UFC he would have already fought serg and getting paid more than the 400k he gets now...

Boxing can still pay guys the same they get today,, the only difference is that UFC makes fights vs champs and top contender. And boxing does not,,, boxing just needs to adapt the UFC match making and boxing would soar

I saw the preview for the series and I'm very excited to check it out. I was a fan of the TUF series back in 2008 when I was into the UFC so to see a boxing version of it is awesome.

And I'm all for new ideas when it comes to boxing, for me, the more the merrier. If Dana wants to get involved, he should feel free to. From what I've seen he has a genuine interest in giving fans the fights they want to see. I don't mind this and neither should anybody. If 50 cent got into this, it can't get worse than that.

I agree with this bro! If anyone wants to get involved in the sport to make it bigger, better, and make the best fights possible then I'm all for it, and I don't understand why anyone would be against it.

Would be nice to get more exposure for boxing, I just hate to see that scumbag Dana make money of our beloved sport which he spent years trashing all over television.

Can you show proof that the "bottom guy" of a big boxing PPV is not getting $8k? Or are you completely fabricating that comment?

[KingTito]

If he wants to get involved I don't see a problem with it. It'll bring some more interest. Why not?
