Comments Thread For: Dana White Erupts: F*** Bob Arum, Biggest Piece of **** in Sports!

[ShoulderRoll]

Dana White would do the same deal as Arum if he was in the boxing game. The only reason he does all these fights people want to see is due to him having the major share of the MMA game.

Floyd fanboys are always discrediting Arum. So yea, nothing wrong with stating my opinion.

This thread isn't about some Floyd fanboy, though.

It's about Dana White dissing that piece of **** Bob Arum.

No need to bring up Floyd or his fans like you always do.

“My thoughts are that UFC is desperate,” Arum told Michael Woods..About a year ago, I was approached by someone repping UFC, they wanted to buy Top Rank.”

So they are so desperate they have enough money to buy out Top Rank? That's a bit of an oxymoron Bob, like you. Dana White and Co are so rich they bought up all the competition and now run a monopoly.

Dana White is also full of it. I've heard they have a salary cap of $3 million maximum per fighter and the fighters have to sign over their lives to the UFC.

However, anything which is put next to boxing looks better because boxing is a farce.

I'd rather see boxers fighting under one umbrella, but it'll never happen.

Just make the fights we want to see. Simple ***en process. Fighter and promoters give us the fight we want to see, we pay. Boxing will win, who wants to see two naked guys hugging on the floor. UFC fans like McGregor because of his boxing.

LOL, that is very true. That old joke about two half-naked men chasing each other around a ring fighting over a leather belt is applied tenfold to two guys in budgie smugglers hugging each other to near death.

Dana will do boxing better than TR, GBP, Matchroom etc...he actually listens to the fans and knows how to put on good shows. He deserves the highest praise for how he dragged MMA from an obscure sport in the early 90s to a global brand. Nothing but love for White.

And then underpays the hell out of them?

Right message, wrong messenger.

Dana is a POS, just not on the same POS level as Arum. Not quite yet.

I have to admit that the UFC model is a very good product.

But I find Dana White a complete c**t of a personality.

You must not know a damn thing about boxing! Dana White ****s all his fighters out of money. You think people don't know that?
How the **** is he gonna do better than Bob Arum, Oscar, Al Haymon when everyone knows they aren't gonna make nearly as much money with him as they would anywhere else??

I love when Dana erupts at Arum...I'm sure the writers do too, that's probably why they keep bringing up Arum to Dana. Both rep'd for truth telling.

Most boxing fans agree with Dana. In a divided world with a lot hate, Bob Arum likes to add to the hate instead of spreading love.

Spread love everyone.

It's really difficult to not agree with Dana White on this one.

Arum is just hating, and worried that White will start making meaningful fights, and hurt his business.

White got his start in boxing, loves the sport, and just made a sh/t ton of money promoting a boxing event.

If he wants to test the market, who cares?

This is America, Dana White can make money for his company however he wants, and if fighters start signing with him, so be it.

I am a boxing guy, def not UFC, but what's wrong with a promoter that will def make the best fights possible, nothing.

Dana's only problem is he won't be able to lure boxers with those slave contracts the UFC pumps out, they will have to approach the sport with a different business model or they will attract ZERO talent.
