Comments Thread For: What Would Boxing Look Like With Dana White as a Promoter?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

He and Eddie Hearn would turn boxing back into what it was in the 70's, 80's, and 90's

I agree with that. It didn't give a time frame of when this could happen, it was just something he's thinking about doing or possibly doing.

We could use new promoters with new ideas. The more competition the better as far as I'm concerned.

The networks could help by not establishing an exclusive relationship with any promoter. Instead just pay for the best fights and if promoters want the tv money they have to bring good matchups to the table.

Personally I think UFC events look cheesy as ****. Like a slightly more legit WWE. Obviously choreographed beefs and OTT announcers.

Wouldnt want to see that in boxing. Some of the events over here push that boundary, fights like Haye vs Bellew crosses it. We dont need those histrionics in our great sport. If two fighters genuinely dont get on it shows. When they are faking it looks terrible.

They wouldnt be able to put the cards on that htey do in UFC because they wouldnt control all the talent.
