Comments Thread For: UFC's White Getting Promoter's License: 100% - I'm Doing Boxing

[Sparked_26]

Where would we be without simpleton idiots like you in the UK, that wanna watch wwf not boxing?

If it's hundred million dollar event spend money in the production. I am not talking about 2 mediocre boxers having a pop at each other in a small hall somewhere.

You're happy to be a mug. That's fine.

I agree with White. My best wishes to him, amd a warm welcome (back?) To the boxing industry.

Good! Dana is not afraid to risk fighters or make fights. Happy days.

[Disturbed]

He could sign young fighters and build his own boxing company, that's all in house like UFC.

Yeah, it could be a way for some young talents to show their skills and prove themselves, but I just hope that they will get at least decent pay. There are some good things about Dana White for sure, but lots of bad things as well. Man loves to bash his own organization's fighters if he disagrees with them or doesnt like them. Just talking mad **** about them quite often, its bizarre

UFC fighters don't make any $$$$$ compared to boxers. White is good at matching the top fighters against each other, but the company makes all of the money. He's kidding himself if he thinks that he can order two A-side fighters into the ring and then tell them what they're purses will be...lol. Hell, McGregor got a taste of boxing money and now he wants a partnership with the UFC and to co-promote his own fights now!

ufc has a middle class, which boxing really doesn't. in boxing you're generally on TV regularly and a millionaire, or an opponent who waits for the phone to call and works another job.


fightesr in the ufc have insurance, sponsorship deals facilitated through the promotional company, etc. you can make a middle class living as a fighter in the UFC even if you aren't a world champion or a star. in boxing you really don't have that any more since the advent of premium TV and ppv, and the death of local shows.

Exactly. Plus their known to casual fans. Shows like TUF can also make otherwise obscure names, household names.

I'm looking forward to this endeavor.

There is a huge roster of boxers who will need/want this. The current boxing model is millionaire or starving and not much in between. The list of boxers making a middle class living is short.

Dana isn't gonna steal Canelo but you can bet all these titlists who drive uber on the side are gonna jump on the the chance to be a company man with guaranteed fights and a nice little perks package. And out of that he will get a couple stars.

That is a good point you make.
