    **** Bob Arum! The real promoter of this fight is not Dana White, nor Floyd Mayweather. The biggest promoter of this fight is SKIP BAYLESS! I think Skip got the ball rolling in 2016! They should cut him a check!

      MMA and the UFC (i dont watch) is run so much better than boxing its no wonder boxing is one of the least popular sports in the US. its no accident.

      UFC champs fight the best. the best fight the best. over and over again.

      no spirt is as poorly
      matched up and as institutionslly backwards and fan-unfriendly as
      boxing.

      imagine the supermbowl contested
      by the #2 and #12 teams. imagine the world cup revolving sround making sure the top 2 teams DO NOT face each other.

      arum is still working on pacquiao-bradley IV, the ****head.

        I'm no fan of Arum (who is) but c'mon. Arum was a dominant force in the sport before White's balls even dropped.

            Mayweather has said it before that the vast majority of the people who wanted to see the fight were casual boxing fans...which is like 90% of everything, this is an event...don't buy it if you don't want to, it's still gonna sell millions of ppv

              Despite being White's boyhood dream to promote boxing it will never happen since 99% of the time they refuse to pay boxing purses.

              Say what you will about Top Rank but ZUFFA and now WME have exploited their fighters more than Arum, Haymon or even King.

              The biggest MMA superfights were never made because they didn't want to pay their fighters what they deserved.

                He has a point.
                cant argue with that logic + FACTUAL STATEMENT.

                  I totally agree with Dana, Bob is a fraud and hater. He is fading away and his fighters are fighting on ESPN. Presently he has no superstar who is fighting on PPV and his last cash cow got beat by a unknown school teacher, that is how bad it is getting for Bob, he is now trying to do what Al Haymon is doing, put his fighters on free TV but the difference is, he is robbing them and doesn't treat them like Al, can't wait till he goes away

                    arum is a funny guy he says whats on his mind at times its funny but the reality is everything he says and does in some way is to benefit his own agenda. both arum and white are pieces of **** tho but he does have a point. anyone who still doesnt think arum was the main reason mayweather pac didnt get done earlier then ur naive

                      Dana White's smug, know-it-all arrogance can stay in MMA. Arum treats his stars like gold compared to Dana, unless you are McGreggor, an equally arrogant person. They make a great couple. Top Rank + ESPN is only getting started, and it will be better than the endless stream of **** UFC puts out on free tv. The only reason anyone watches the UFC on free tv is bc they want to see someone's eye punched out while eating a sandwich. It's mindless trash a lot of the time, but you can make a better boxing event than Crawford vs Indongo with your mma fighters... �� Boxing scene shouldn't even post this trash... Hating on Arum is par for the course, but Dana White is just talking sh**
