Comments Thread For: Arum: UFC's White is Desperate - PPVs Dwindling, No Marquee Star

[Squ□redCircle34]

Sounds like ArScum has been stressing about this since they Bossed him and offered to buy his company.

Stress is the silent killer, so lets all start writing Top Rank and asking them the sell to UFC. Even simple emails will stress Arum out. Trust me, the guy is a miserable paranoid worry-wart who thinks everyone is trying to undermine him at every angle. Just a little more stress and he will die.

To whom it may concern,

Please do your part in welcoming UFC into the Boxing arena. As a fan, the idea of UFC's incredible format tingles my blood. I would be willing to pay top dollar for any Boxing match presented by the incredible folks at UFC. If UFC were to acquire Top Rank's roster, this would give the UFC a great boost in competing with the bigger promotional companies like Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions.

The success of Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions is due to us fans being more willing to put our hard earned dollars down on fights promoted by men who have been Champion Boxer's themselves, and got into this sport for glory not money. All of whom sacrificed their health and efforts for years before every earning a single dime. The folks at UFC get it, and they match the best fighters together rather than ruining their fighters careers in order to line their own pockets.

Top Rank has a stellar history and did some significant promotions back in the days of Muhammad Ali, which us fans respect. By acquiring a company like Top Rank with such deep roots, the UFC will be able to move Top Rank and its fighters into the foray with the big dogs like Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions.

For the sake of the fans, the sport and the fighters who dedicate their lives to the greatest sport in history, please do your part by allowing the UFC to acquire Top Rank or by helping them into the sport of Boxing.

Our hard earned dollars cannot wait to be spent on UFC formatted Boxing matches!


Kind regards,

Arum is angry that White doubled Arum's net worth in half a lifetime.

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.

How many PPV did Conor do is the Sport he competed? It was thanks to Mayweather he had 4.4 million. Thanks to all those White folks who believe Conor could beat Mayweather that bought the PPV, but it was thanks to Money may.
Money vs De La Hoya 2.4 Million
Money vs Canelo 2.2 Mil
Money vs Pac 4.6 Mil
Money vs 4.4 Mil

In his own sport. Tell me more about Manny's basketball career for a real comparison to the mainstream appeal Conor has reached and to the point of what I'm discussing.

Manny at his peak was and still is more popular than Conor.

[Kannabis Kid]

Manny is way more popular than Conor now and forever Conor had a 2 year buzz in the UFC but never really fought anybody but Nate Diaz who ended up beating and exposing him. Pacquiao was a worldwide sports figure for almost a decade and that was thanks to Arum regardless if he is a snake or not he still knows how to promote fights.

[Dramacyde]

Where'd you hear that?

They closed 4 here in NYC in the last year.

[Eff Pandas]

Manny at his peak was and still is more popular than Conor.

Conor fights guys in the UFC that no casual fans know and does Manny numbers vs top boxers everyone knows.

Conor goes into an entirely new sport and damn near beats the ppv numbers of the two boxers PPV who were the top 2 guys of their era.

Conor is in Tyson territory although I'd hardly expect guys who are only boxing fans to agree (assume that to be the case with most cats disagreeing with me, my apologies if I'm incorrect in that assessment). I follow both sports and Conor is on a higher plain of popularity than Manny, Floyd or Oscar.

Whatever doe agree to disagree.

[Clubber Pac]

Let's be real. Connor didn't do 4 million ppv's by himself. He had Boxing's biggest star on the opposite corner.
And Top Rank did build Oscar into a star. You forget about that??

Or Manny, who owns McGregor in every category when it comes to career earnings.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Can't the same be said for top rank and arum..


No marquee stars

Dwindling ppv

[boliodogs]

Nobody in boxing has anything like the power White has in MMA. He rules it and gives his fighters what he feels like giving them and there isn't much they can do about it. Still I love watching the UFC shows. I don't love it as much as boxing but I love it. It's different than boxing but some of those guys can fight their asses off and are game as hell and in terrific shape. Sometimes a skinny guy who doesn't look strong at all proves to be as strong as a bull and beats some guy who looks twice as strong.
