Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Dana White Carried My Bags, Now He's a Tough Guy

[Eff Pandas]

He made a good point when he said why does Dana White make more money than Conor Mcgregor when Dana White is just an employee of UFC? That's like a General Manager of a team making more than the players, it doesn't happen. You got some coaches who make more than players but they don't make more than the star player. Roger Goddell makes good money but he doesn't make more than the star players.

Idk about Dana making more than Conor, but I'm sure the UFC is making more than Conor. Although to be fair the UFC is writing more checks than any similar entity, or en****** I imagine, in boxing is writing so it makes sense they are making more than Conor cuz they gotta write checks for a few hundred employees every week.

For sure point taken doe as the UFC can't really promote this fight any damn way so Dana throwing out a $50M guarantee + PPV cut details to be decided is like Trump talking about what he's gonna do as the President of Mexico.

Also please someone have a pic or video of Dana carrying Floyd's bags back in the day. I've seen some pics of Dana when he was doing that boxercise sh^t so there has gotta be some Floyd's bag guy pics out there.

why cant this guy just keep his trap shut. Thought wed seen the end of him in the headlines once he retired. Just an attention whore, probably going to be seeing even more of him now hes a promoter ffs

Well that's what you get for thinking. Usually doesn't work out well for you.

Mayweather is going to become the #1 promoter in boxing and he's going to remain the #1 promoter in boxing for many many years.

So if you don't like seeing him run his mouth, you're probably going to need a new sport to follow.

That would be the worst thing that could happen to MMA the sport. It would definitely make Conor vs Floyd or in general big name MMA guys vs big name boxing guys fights more likely to happen doe. And it'd for sure get the top 1% of MMA guys making more money, but most guys would be making more or less the same + more MMA leagues would go outta business as the competition trying to grab talent would create many casualties at all levels of the game like what happened when the UFC was originally coming into be the UFC we know now.

No absolutely not I think that would make mma like boxing where you can get paid what you are worth

Goodell pulled in $145 million from 2012-15

Brady and Brees made more during that same period. I think Flacco did too.

The problem is they both started off broke. He says Dana carried his bags but Floyd used to rely on others to put food on the table before he started making money. We've all been there so who cares. What matters is where you are now and right now their net worth is about the same. Dana's net worth is a little more. They've both done great for themselves IMO.

MMA guys were getting "paid what they were worth" before & all it did was led to numerous UFC competitors going out of business or being bought out by the UFC. Thats why top shelf MMA guys are "left" with doing business with the only league that was balancing their budget.

All a redo on getting fighters "what they are worth" is taking MMA back about 5-10 years in its timeline & insuring less top guys are fighting other top guys til the UFC or some other league prove they are superior &/or more intelligent. So for the sport it'll be a overall negative for the short term although if I'm wrong about anything it'll be the timeline & it'll cause long term damage to MMA & could have it lookinig like the clusterf#ck that is boxing with few best vs the best fights happening.

Dana is worth 300M Floyd made more than that in his two fights with Canelo and Manny P

Forbes has Mayweathers net worth at 340 million and Danas at 370 million. They're both doing very well.
