****ing idiot. burning a major bridge before you're even in town. now whoever he works with will have him by the balls, and the fighters under the various promotors will be even further away from fighting each other.


i hope bob arum decks this guy with a pouch of gold.

Guy's such a blowhard lol. "His boxing venture" is really just WME expanding, he's just a loudmouth with no power.

Can't you see? Dana's using "boxingscene" to promote the UFC...pathetic!

[boxingthoughts]

smart to call showtime names?

calling les moonves' company and him by extension - names - is just silly and you will want to work with him in boxing

i hope there is a class action suit for injuries to ufc fighters you wrongfully exploited for years for personal gain you big bald idiot

so hypocritical that you turn to boxing now to revive the flailing ufc that was overpaid for - you must have a contract for a certain period of time you need to blow hot air for - hopefully it will be over soon

boxing won bro

You don't think Dana already knows which en****** are realistically in play for the UFC (and therefore Zuffa Boxing) TV deal?

Is it possible that Dana is smarter than you are? Considering how rich and successful he is?

difference between knowing who you'll be working with and going on the record saying you despise another vendor. the TV network climate is going to change due to factors that may largely be outside of his control, and he's burning bridges and limiting his options. you always want to ahve a second supplier. always.


and intelligence is pretty subjective. is he better promoter than i am? sure. more successful? yeah, he is. no shame in not being as successful as dana white.
but i'd smoke that guy on any standard test of intellect, and he knows it. he wouldn't even sign the contract. he'd have no business even sharing a desk with me. levels. come get this work, dana.

But if he already has several options, and he knows for sure that CBS/Showtime isn't one of them, and he's trying to coax Haymon away from CBS/Showtime, how is he burning a bridge here? You're judging his actions knowing very very little information.

Alot of you hating but Dana could really become a good boxing promoter. He knows how to make a business grow and thats by giving fans the fights they want when they want them.

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.

UFC taking over boxing😭😭😭...

...As I said as equally ridiculous as grass turning blue.

UFC taking over boxing😭😭😭...

...As I said as equally ridiculous as grass turning blue.

A well organized multi billion dollar fight company with the leverage to easily obtain the largest US boxing TV budget taking over boxing isn't ridiculous at all.

Boxing is wide open. Which is what Haymon saw. He just couldn't pull it off by himself. With UFC, anything would be possible.
