Dana White Hints New UFC TV Deal Could Include Streaming Partner

Speculation around the television industry continues to churn that streaming services such as Amazon, Facebook, or possibly even Apple may make a bid to land the UFC.

“Now with technology, we're getting to the point that I always dreamed about,” White said when speaking to the Unnamed Podvideocast. “I always used to say, we'll take this thing all around the world, build a fan base, build some talent in every country around the world, and then we'll get to a point in time where everybody can watch it at the same time on the same platform.

“We're getting to that day… on an OTT type platform.”

Bob and Dana just need to pull out their ****s and get some rulers.

And let's be real Bob hasn't created a guy as big as Conor ever one could easily argue. I mean most of his biggest names did there best work without him or he only partially got them where they went. Conor did 4mill ppv buys in a sport he had never competed in professionally and had a ton of mfers thinking he could win. Arum is great at creating delusion with his fighters along with finding highly skilled and talented mfers, but he never orchestrated something like Conor.

Pacquiao. That is all.

cant be serious

Conor did Manny numbers in a whole other sport. Idk that Manny does Conor numbers in the cage.

Idk that anyone compares to or is bigger than Conor in combat sports except Ali and Tyson. Floyd and Manny were both big don't get me wrong, but both were late comers to mainstream fame and took awhile to catch fire even then.

Conor came on the scene and was a star virtually out of the gate and trended to super stardom beyond his own sport into a whole sport where people still talk of him fighting again despite losing that fight.

You don't know what your talking about. So how about Manny Pacquiao? Conor did 4 mil but not by himself. And the only people thinking Conor had a chance are guys that don't know about the sport and just believe whatever Conor says.

Projecting much Arum LOL...

How many PPVs did your last Crawford PPV sell?

Arum thinks the UFC is like a boxing promotional company...

UFC puts on shows every weekend just about... and has FoxSports money coming in.. not to mention FightPass...

Arum just went full blown ****** here.

Conor did Manny numbers in whole different sport and cant do the same in his sport lol That's because boxing is on another level than mma. And btw your wrong Pacquaio has sold more ppv than Conor and you have to look at other things also like the way social media is now back then it wasn't like it is today people can become famous overnight. I doubt Conor will be around for as long as Pac Man and Mayweather have been around.

This is true *but* it is a lot easier to turn Mcgregor into a star than a guy like Pac (who was almost as big as Connor in his day I would argue)
