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

[b Murphington]

White is already burning bridges. He's gonna have to swallow his pride and work with people he doesn't want to do business with or it's bye - bye for him.

He'll be the next 50 Cent in boxing.

Maybe he can do small, local shows in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest that no one cares about and make **** money.

White needs to chill out. If he wants to be successful in the boxing business he can't keep turning down opportunities before they present themselves. It's all about making money at the end of the day. If Showtime actually had better numbers I'm sure they would disclose it because it would make them look good. If he keeps this up all his boxers are going to be doing in house fights because he would have burned so many bridges.

Dana White makes Bob Arum look like the pope.

This is BS SHOWTIME 1st of all is a public company as stated and they don't give ***E ALL whether a 1 or 2 boxers were in it they comp is HBO and now ESPN.And they would not hold back numbers even if they could which they cant.The more I hear Dana talking the WORSE I fear his involvement.This *** er is snake who will use boxing like a whor e he cares NOTHING about the long term heath of sport.Which I guess makes him about the same as almost ALL promoters but we don't need another.Will there be a UFC title too smdh.

How many buys a Mayweather vs Canelo or GGG would make as opossed as Mcgregor vs Fergurson or khabib in their respective sport?..Or Mayweather or Canelo vs khabib in MMA and Mcgregor vs horn?.Think about it. Dana swears they made those crazy numbers because Mcgregor, he helped but he wasnt “it”.Lets have mcgregor carry a boxing match on his own,wont do 500k buys,and his ego would drop!

I wonder what many of my fellow posters say when Mr. ***** White works with showtime??

100% it's gonna happen because Dana has said it's never gonna happen

[SkillspayBills]

He won't work with Showtime, he won't work with Arum, and he's already starting off on the wrong damn foot.

[Don Mac]

Arum will be 6 ft under soon anyway.

Both equally ridiculous...👀👀

How is it ridiculous? UFC wants to take over boxing. UFC can bundle boxing with their TV package and guarantee a better TV deal than any US promoter has currently.

Haymon has the best stable of US fighters, almost none of whom are signed to a promoter.

UFC's parent company is also still in acquisition mode and could just buy PBC outright if they wanted. Check Haymon's history. He's very willing to sell and move on.

[N/A]

Like I said earlier Haymon already uses a bunch of promoters including Mayweather promotions

Mayweather would be a huge asset to anything UFC wants to do in the boxing world. He'd be involved for sure.

and Ringstar which is Richard Shaeffer who is solely responsible for Haymon having Pbc to begin with.

False. Richard had nothing to do with raising the money.

If he brought his fighters to Ufc he would ruin relationships with all those promoters who would probably go out of business

So?

as well as Showtime who wouldnt have boxing anymore.

So?

Unless the promoters got a good cut of the action too

Why do they need a cut? Haymon hires them. He can stop hiring them. The end.
