Dana White will be the biggest loser of this fight.

[Scary]

Conor's the only fighter who does the amount of business needed to get the UFC to bend, so I doubt that Dana White has any real worry; pull McGregor and the only fighter that the UFC has who can draw even 700k PPV buys is Jon "Bones" Jones.

Dana White's only worry, in my opinion anyway, is the Mayweather-McGregor turns into Gatti-Mayweather (in that Floyd comes out razor sharp, McGregor barely lays a hand on him, and we see an utter one-sided beating where his corner saves him in 4 rounds).

Anything outside of that, the UFC can work with and move on.

And if Conor wins and creates his own new brand. Besides he already has his McGregor entertainment. McGregor is Dana's biggest rival.

you guys are crackheads

dana white doesnt care about mma vs boxing (he spent the first part of his career as a boxing manager)

he cares about making money and he's making a ****load off of this and was the one who made it happen

boxing vs mma is a teenage boy thing

Yeah he don't care about UFC anymore, because he has enough money.

Ofcourse he does, he is praying that Floyd wins easily. That would be the best for Dana.

And if Conor wins and creates his own new brand. Besides he already has his McGregor entertainment. McGregor is Dana's biggest rival.

If Conor beats Floyd, the conversation changes even more; gone would be the days of Conor even worrying all that much about day-of purses. Conor a minimal purse on the front end, his sponsors/bonus money, and he'll likely end up with ownership of the shows that he fights on (30/70 on every PPV dollar that comes in would be a good place to start.

Conor creating his own MMA promotion is a fool's errand.

I'm not sure there is any loser when Floyd's making $200M+, Conor is making $100Mish, the UFC is making $30M or whatever. The UFC is a company that is popular cuz of the competition they create.

The UFC has ups & downs on names, but there ongoing success isn't based on any one fighter. If you look at their history guys come & go & Conor is about to go (idk that he beats either guy, Ferguson or Lee, that he's being lined up to fight next in the UFC & if they can take him down once its over for Conor cuz both are deadly on the ground). So the UFC is already up on Conor with his crazy popular PPV's & mainstream popularity so they are playing with house money already.

Sure the longer things last with Conor winning, the better, but its a W for Conor, Dana & the UFC already.

[Boxfan83]

This whole fight is a clear indication that he is losing ground to his own fighters. This could all spell disaster for Dana White, no matter if Conor wins or loses. In some ways Dana Whites biggest rival is Conor.

How many other fighters, have become interested in the lucrative ways of boxing? Time will tell...

[Eff Pandas]

McGregor is Dana's biggest rival.

LOL no he's not.

Now granted he could become that if McGregor wants to continue his boxing career for some bigger payday then he'd get in the UFC next time out, but I don't think Dana would fight that at this point. The McGregor/UFC relationship is winning for both sides if they work together in the future in boxing or MMA is the reality.

you guys are crackheads

he's making a ****load off of this and was the one who made it happen

He's making exactly 9% of whatever UFC's cut is so you're the fcuking crackhead.

Even the 9% is conjecture cuz Dana owns 9% of UFC. He could very well me making zilch off this fight.

After the recent sell they forced Dana into a 5-year contract which is pretty standard for someone in his position after a big acquisition.

He might be trying to tank UFC to get fired for all we know.

If it wasn't for Conor's charisma and Mayweather's status in boxing no one would be interested. No way is Dana bothered about other UFC fighters taking the same route. After this fight, it's back to business as usual. BTW, I think the fight will be a dud, a boring 12 round decision - Conor has a beard and Mayweather is not a finisher, never has been.

[Scary]

As predicted Dana might have lost his biggest star.
