Comments Thread For: Arum: White Interested in Boxing Because MMA Biz Falling Apart

[Boxfan83]

Arums got the mind games under control. Whites gonna blow his top and Arum will continue to talk in a monotone voice cracking a few smiles here and there while throwing hip shots.

Hope he does come into boxing will make it interesting but not sure who will want to leave Haymons stable for a guy known to take a big slice off fighters earnings

MMA will never disappear.
It's got loyal followers who find boxing boring to watch.

All the ufc fanvoys and apologist about to cry. Its true! Outside of UFC nobody gives a damn about MMA.

well he aint wrong here

[The D3vil]

He's right.

They built up Ronda & Conor and both abandoned them.

After witnessing first hand in the Connor-Floyd fight how much $$$ is in boxing, it'd be ****** not to get your license if your Dana. Connor is already highly marketable.

Yeah .. pity he couldn't box a kipper innit.

Bob ain't lying here.

The numbers have been the lowest they've been in a long time with Mcgregor out for the year. All their old cashcows are old and moved on. The only big draws left are Mcgregor and GSP. Mcregor seems like he doesn't care if he's anointed the GOAT MMA fighter and has made no secrets he wants to get out young & build his brand. GSP is old.

It's hard to find GSP's, and Silva's. Everybody can get knocked off by anybody as we saw where every champion lost their belt this last UFC PPV. That's a good thing, but it does make it hard to develop a rapport with the fighters if you're a fan. There's no polarizing figure. Somebody so dominant he's loved/hated.

Like Bob said the same thing over and over. The parity is so good its problematic in a way.

So when business people expand and want to diversify their portfolios, they are doing so because their other businesses are failing? MMA is the future and the UFC is the biggest company by far. They have events almost every week, they have a reality show and they have at least 1 PPV per month - all making money. Boxing can barely find a fight to put on PPV. Other than Canelo - no other fighter is a legit PPV fighter in the sport.

Arum just made a baseless claim with no numbers or data - just his hatred of White. Fking *** weasel should drop dead already - and take Don King with him.
