    Dana isn't saying he wants to promote AJ..

    The UFC executive views Joshua, who is promoted by Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, as the biggest star in boxing and he would love to get the opportunity to work with him.

    “In my opinion, he’s the most marketable guy in boxing,” White said.


    He's basically saying he wants to work with AJ like he worked with Mayweather when they made May vs Mac. Maybe he'l will offer some UFC heavyweights to fight AJ.
    no way i wanna see more of these crossover type fights though

        He's also ruling out the idea of doing more cross-sports fights like Mayweather-McGregor.

          "This lucrative matchup with Klitschko will see both men split the £20 million purse 50/50, so the current exchange rate puts that total at just under $13 million US. Factoring in the projected 1.5 million buys on Sky Box Office and they’re almost certain to make north of $20 million."

          Wilder's biggest purse is still $1 million and he's never even sold ONE pay-per-view...

          Maybe Dana can get Wilder to fight Dillian for his career high purse - 3X that of his current highest...

            Dana should just STFU and get into bed with Al Haymon like he's planning to do. Saying he'd like to work with Anthony Joshua goes without saying. What new promoter WOULDN'T like to work with the top draw in the sport?

              He's gonna work on getting the Wilder vs Joshua fight in Vegas at the T-mobile arena. He can work with Haymon and the other promoter. He gets to screw with Oscar and Bob at the same.
