December 17, 2012:

Dana White, the President and public face of UFC, says that boxing promoter Bob Arum is a "moron" and "the dumbest promoter in the history of the world" for having Manny Pacquiao face Juan Manuel Marquez instead of Timothy Bradley on December 8.

White has been a frequent critic of Arum -- and Arum a frequent critic of White, to be fair -- but his reasons for Arum being a dummy are a bit puzzling, given White's general stance that the best should fight the best in evenly-matched, competitive bouts, and that boxing lacks this, which has been to the sport's detriment, and UFC's gain.

"Dumbest fight in history. Bob Arum is a moron. You don’t take that fight, you idiot. Why would you do that fight? It’s all about the money, that’s why. That was a money fight, that’s what that fight was done for. He should have fought Bradley. Bradley’s the fight they should have done. He would have knocked Bradley out, he would have got his belt back and now he’s back in the position he should have been in. [Pacquiao's] one of the best fighters in the world. He goes out and fights Marquez again? Bob Arum is the dumbest promoter in the history of the world."

Yet after all that he never flat out denied it. He hates Arum though that's clear he goes off when anyone ever mentions his name. He won't mention the true split because everyone knows it's more then what McGregor will make. UFC robbing fighters blind.

Didn't quite hear a denial from Dana that those are the terms so he's likely just upset that the info was exposed.

I read somewhere (forgot where ) that before White created the UFC he was actually aspiring to be a boxing promoter. If true, can you imagine these two at a press conference for a fight?

LMAO.

Dana did a lot of yelling and screaming but he no where said what amount of Connors purse that he thinks is fair for him to take. Would they co promote it or would the UFC stay entirely out of it since its a boxing fight? If the UFC stays entirely out of it, how much money do they think is fair for them doing basically nothing but accepting a loss in a competition outside of MMA for their fighter?

Dana is pissed because he knows their fees for their fighters are astronomically high compared to boxing promoters. Arum has some of the highest in boxing and he is still under 30 percent. Top UFC fighters usually make under the 1 million mark per fight and you have knuckleheads like broner making more in boxing even though UFC is a more popular sport with more viewers. UFC has a monopoly and they can demand more from the fighters financially when they have no competition, boxers can switch promoters so there is competition.

The 80% sounds really high but we do know that Dana wants to block this fight so that may be his method and it may have been thrown out there.

Arum is one of the highest in boxing and hes like 27% and UFC is waay higher than boxing, so I think the 50% is very realistic and that might be the norm for UFC.

Even arum knows hes a piece of ****

in other news, dana white calls water wet.

Dana either wants to block the fight as you said or ensure that he makes enough $ off of McGregor in this 1 fight to make up for 5 ufc fights since him taking a beating in boxing could impact his future ufc drawing power.
