Comments Thread For: Dana White: I Hope To Have Zuffa Boxing Running By October

[etech1]

Imagine if he cut out the alphabet group parasites, and had ONE HW champion for example!

When the XFL tried to compete with the NFL, the NFL had their ducks in a row. Boxing is 100% fragmented and full of BS, the NFL was not!


If he could somehow bring us back to a single champion in every division, I'd be 100% for him!!

Hes exactly what the sports needs. Under his dictatorship in UFC the best are always fighting the best and at least 2 ppv’s per year have stacked cards. Meanwhile in boxing we get the best fighting uber drivers for 2-3 year stretches. For example: Until Danny Garcia got to 147 he fought a buncha cherries aka Rod Salkas.

Imagine this card..

Main event: Fury vs Wilder
Undercard: Thurman vs. Broner
Tank Davis vs Haney/Farmer

The only people they have are uber drivers, the **** you talking about?

MMA is a bunch of 80s kungfu nuts being taken seriously. The Gracies ain't even Brazilian. Winklejohn's just an idiot with cliche street fighter stories more kung fu idiots took seriously.

Conor still can't punch through ten ouncers worth a ****. After a whole career of being something special in MMA he still can't punch through gloves....what the **** is that?

Look at Conor's striking team....that's what the ****.

Any different from Ronda's?

Who has a team whose credential are actually real not " I spent a long time with X teacher at X dojo, had to fight my whole childhood, and made up my own martial art"?

Some real goofy Frank Dux style nonsense being called "trainers" while some spaghetti armed uber driver listens to every cliche without ever thinking "huh, like bloodsport huh?"

It ain't hard to push two counterfeits.

This is very good news because Money May is making a comeback but it sure as Hell won't be against Manny Pacquiao. He would love to fight another MMA fighter in the boxing ring for another $300 mil while still keeping his 0 intact.

Gonna need some better partners to get this thing off the ground. The Boxing they had so far has been laughable.

I can't see Zuffa making a big splash with how hard DAZN has shown it can be with acquiring talent. Sure DAZN got the leftovers from HBO largely, but beyond the luck of HBO getting out of boxing right as they were getting in I think they'd be having a much harder time with worthwhile content than they currently are.

So I suspect Zuffa will be easing into boxing from a more humble start than DAZN or even Roc Nation. I think they will be swiping purse bids here. I think when a big name hits free agency they will make a attempt to sign him. But largely I think Zuffa will be moving slower than most probably except them to. They are on the slow grind. I'd bet some of their bigger fights in their first couple years will involve retired fighters with names.

Have all the golden boy guys fight their mma guys in boxing. And then create a reality series with boxers called from boxing to mma. Where you have golden boys talent learning karate .

If Floyd is fighting on FightPass his career has jumped the shark more than that Japan fight vs the 130lb guy did.

[MrRosario]

That's the problem what if anything new is he bringing? So far he has not made any claims of bringing a new order or even small changes to the way boxing operates.

Change the shape of the ring and replace the ropes with a cyclone fence

Well perhaps, you are right. Dana White is known for running a very tight ship in the UFC. He is known to pay his guys only a fraction of their market value.

The UFC generates $millions a year but the fighters have very little to show for it. They are all used like pawns in his Ponzi Schemes. They are grossly under paid.

However, if Dana White can get Money May to help co-promote a bout with him against Khabib Nurmagomedov then that event would sell. It would be huge and do large numbers as well just like the Conor McGregor fight did.

That is if the boxing is done under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, inside of a boxing ring and not inside of an octagon.
