    Do you think Boxing promoters will copy UFC and rent a Private Island to host fights?

    I just read that Dana White has secured a Private Island for two and half months so ESPN and UFC can televised one UFC event a week and will be flying his fighters there with blind folds via private Jet during this pandemic.

    The Island which White said he will not say apparently has living quarters and a medical facility but its pretty much empty

    The fighters will live there for the two months or something and UFC will bring in a 4 month supply of food during the stay and everyone will be tested for the virus before boarding their flights and during their stay at the island.

    I could actually see Eddie Hearn try something like this.

          Hearn has just criticised it...

          He’s probably jealous.

            I actually think this is really clever and innovative from White. If he pulls this off we have to credit him from a business perspective.

            Whether it’s ethically the right manoeuvre is a whole different conversation though...

              The only thing promoters will rent an island for is their weird Eyes Wide Shut orgies

                Haha I just posted in the other thread; boxing promoters will swarm Dana for making this happen, then in 3 weeks they'll all scramble to copy his idea verbatim.
