Comments Thread For: Dana White on Zuffa Boxing: We Will Absolutely Be in Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For nearly a year, UFC president Dana White has discussed the possibility of starting his own boxing brand. The brand, which White plans to call 'Zuffa Boxing,' has not exactly gotten off the ground. White has made attempts to sign several high profile fighters without success - like Mikey Garcia and Anthony Joshua.

A lot of boxing promoters is talking pure bs sometimes and a lot of them I wouldn't trust.

BUT no way will I ever trust anything Dana White says when it comes to the business side of the sport.
He just talks sometimes to hear his own voice.

UFC been robbing mma fighters for years and MMA fighters have no choice but to take what they get b/c of the monopoly. Khabib got 5million dollas from a 2.5mill+ ppv. No boxer with a half working brain would work with WME.

everybody wants in

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I think they are only getting in cause they see alot of desire from their fighters to jump into the ring and dont want to lose those talents to boxing promoters.

“If you know how I run my business and what I like, yes I want all the best boxers in the world,” White said. “I want them all to fight each other and find out who the real champ is. That’s what we’re going to do."

How the f#ck is Dana gonna do anything like that now?

Also wtf is he talking about with some $12M arena? Don't arena's cost like $6B or some sh^t? Is it made outta cardboard stapled together?

Yea if there is a first Zuffa Boxing event I suspect it'll be headlined by McConor (probably vs Paulie) & the undercard will look as impressive to boxing fans as Oscar's undercard for that Tito Ortiz vs Chuck Liddell fight to MMA fans.

Dana isn't going to do anything. Boxing isn't UFC. Dana cannot control everything and fighters aren't going to sign with him and let Dana keep huge percentages. Dana cannot control who boxers with other promoters fight. He thinks he can sign fighters and then pay them however little he wants to. It isn't going to happen. Poor Dana is upset he is too ****** to figure out how to get in on the big money of boxing. The secret is you cannot rip them off too blatantly.
