Comments Thread For: White: I'll Never Work With Showtime, I Despise Those F***ing Guys

Take Showtime to court with your "proof" and sort it out there if you need to.

Hmmm, could Dana already be aligned with the guys across the way, HBO?

Let's see how this all plays out; the market has already seemed to tell UFC what they think the UFC on FOX/FS1 is worth even with the teasing of Floyd's name.

If TimeWarner (HBO/TNT/TruTV) can come up with the $400m per year, and Zuffa puts the whole content portfolio on the table (Fox deal plus the UFC's PPVs, turning into 6-10 PPVs a year instead plus a ton of fights for HBO, with TNT getting some dates and TruTV picking up the rest, a deal is there to be made.

HBO may even let the Zuffa Boxing thing bleed over into their boxing content, that basically revolves around Saul Alvarez.

So Dana is saying that showtime would choose to understate having the highest ppv of all time by 3 million buys just because one of the fighters involved was a ufc star?? Makes 0 sense.

Makes no sense at all.

Plus it's not like it's any reflection on Floyd, like to say their biggest star needed a UFC fighter or something, considering Floyd was already retired and not under contract with them.

Even that would be ******. If a TV Network had the highest selling PPV of all time, they certainly wouldn't be hiding that fact.

Dana White is one of the world's biggest douchebags ever. He is greedy and ******. It appears here that he does not understand the meaning of North American ppv buys. It means only the buys in North America and doesn't count the buys in the U.K. and Europe. Dana seems to not understand this.The guy is a complete idiot.

so hell be in boxing and not work with top rank, goldenboy and sho. genius

😂😂😂😂 Exactly, he doesn’t have anywhere near the knowledge or experience in boxing to have any major impact in boxing.
And let’s be real for a minute, he doesn’t own UFC, he’s a ****ing employee😭😭😭

Mark my Words Dana White, you will not succeed in the sport of boxing with that attitude and personality

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

What if he gets the exclusive on Haymon's stable and leverages the UFC to get UFC & PBC a monster TV deal on the same family of networks?

Checkmate.

And what if the sky turns green and the grass turns blue?😂😂

August 2017, Dana - "Conor destroyed Paulie M in sparring and is a licensed boxer in Nevada. He is going to knock out Mayweather"


January 2018 Dana "Conor wasnt even a boxer" (It was the biggest event ever. It was the biggest boxing event ever without a boxer, there was only one boxer in that fight)

[elfag]

If Showtime is trying to stiff you on money, then show the proof, publicly destroy them and sue them. Seems like a spoiled rich guy crying over something silly. It's also dumb to eliminate CBS/Showtime as a potential entity bidding on your fights. You have to be a business man, and Dana did not handle this situation correctly. Totally disagree with his position here.

uh because he is full of chit and just using a talking point. He wants to make Mayweather-Conor II with Mayweather signing to use him as a promotor and not give showtime a cut, which is why he is badmouthing showtime.

IF he actually believed showtime stiffed him out of millions, he would be suing them.

Also lol @ the idea that with a fight grossing almost a billion dollars, they dont have an auditing trail to verify the number of buys for UFC to get paid. UFC probably has their own auditor and Dana White is also accusing showtime of tax fraud because showtime cant just not report $300 million in sales from this 3 million buys that Dana says is missing.
