    Comments Thread For: Dana White: After Summer - I'm Making All of My Boxing Moves

    Since 2017, UFC President Dana White has stated numerous times that he intends to enter the world of boxing with his own promotional company - Zuffa Boxing. In the last few months, White has been making deals with several boxing promoters, like Roy Jones Jr. and Lou DiBella, to stream their non-televised events on UFC Fight Pass.

    I'm curious what the move will be & respect to anyone putting money into boxing like Dana will obviously be helping to do if this ends up being a go, but idk what angle they could use at this point to be a real 4th player.

    There is already a 3 way war going on with DAZN/Matchroom/GBP vs PBC vs ESPN/TR. Zuffa/Fight Pass entering the battle is likely to have less luck then Eddie has had with signing free agents & even if he can nab some good free agents good luck making those big fights he talks about wanting to see in boxing with the division in boxing already that is given proven boxing players a hard time making big fights that require working with opposing players.

    I'll be watching doe w/e goes down & like I said I'm super curious what the angle will be. I will say linking up with Lou was a nice move. Idk that RJJ gots much going on doe so thats w/e.

          More power to him. He no doubt will have the capital to make it happen if he wants. But if this involves “fight pass” then he’s up against it

            Only play Dana has is getting his ass kicked by Oscar.

              Sounds like he's talking about something like the WBSS...but didn't that have to get bailed out by one of the big boys for this year's competition to take place? Maybe he's hoping to take over the funding aspect of that from next year? I like his vision of having the best fighting the best but he's up against it with the way boxing is at the moment. Shame
