Comments Thread For: Dana White: We'll Learn From Mayweather-Pacquiao Mistakes

[BOXINGADICT]

what the hell does that even mean? The promoters did everything right, and they sold an unreal amount of ppvs. The fighters are the ones who disappointed. How do you change that?

I'ts 100% gonna leave the casual blood thursty (UFC/Hater) blue balled doe.
Save your money you slacked jawed mouth breathing idiots.

Stream the chit like all the truez...

Nah, we will purchase the fight unless your broke & can't pay the rent if you buy the fight....if you want to tell people what to do with their $ tell to stay GMO free.

And, maybe you didn't hear me either. There's always errors on the biz end but to refer to the "mistakes" of the most successful event ever (by a mile) is like saying, "I want to be a great boxer but I don't want to make the mistakes Mayweather made."

You do realize there's no logical flaw in that statement right? Mayweather did indeed make some mistakes along the way. There's no issue with aspiring to improve on something that was already great. That's all Dana was saying here.

Sure, and we can be anything we want to be in life and we all get a trophy for participation. To say you're not going to make the same mistakes as someone who is far above your level is laughable.

Far above his level? This guy was the key driver of a business that just sold for $4 billion dollars and has created mutiple million dollar brands for his fighters (at the top of the sport). He has a much more complex system to manage in terms of event planning than any boxing promoter.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no Dana White fan, but he definitely understands the modern promotional landscape better than any boxing promoter. UFC regularly does 300k in PPV sales (with the occasional 1 million buy fight happening for the big stars) for relatively unknown fighters. No boxing promoter could do that without May, Pac, AJ, or Canelo involved. The live gates are always above $2 million as well. That's impressive. No boxing promoter do those numbers.

They need to have these big fights outdoors to get more fans in. What's the point of doing it indoors to less than 20,000 people? It's a no brainer.

This fight is already a big joke and a shame. it's a big misteeek!!! Hehehehe. There might be a riot after the fight. But there will be some laughter in between for two clowns will be performing.

I guess you can't deny his success, but the guy Is a piece of S*!t.

Only an idiot will pay for this garbage, then the average IQ of your typical FloHoe is that of a house cat, so they're ****** enough to buy this.

You goddamn moron, how was it Arum's when it was that black boy's promotion and Hymen handling everything! He was the A-Side, remember.

You have black **** so far down your mouth it blinds you from seeing everything.
