Comments Thread For: Hearn Slams Move By 'Stubborn' Dana White To Stage Island Fights

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn is not one to shy away from taking risks and being first to market. Over the last year, the promoter secured a $50 million site fee to stage a heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia despite human rights concerns and he's also partnered with Paul brothers Logan and Jake and pitted the celebrities in the ring with separate bouts as boxers.

Whatever happens regarding UFC, I just hope people have the balls to stick together and boycott the PPV should White get his way...

The world's economic state will be in no man's land and this clown is wanting to drag every last dollar/pound/yen/euro etc out of the general public...

Make a stand people, donate the PPV costs if you can afford it to the services that need it..

Don't feed the greedy barsteward...

Dana already said the fighters will be tested before going to the island and will remain there for two months.

Anyone else get Mortal Kombat 1 movie vibes? Lol, you see these guys coming off ancient boats to an island for a tournament.

With that said, White is one of the biggest d-bags in the business. Clearly he's putting his own interest ($$$) in front of everyone's health and safety. He thinks by going to an island, everyone will be isolated and safe and NOBODY is going to bring the virus there. Hey, it might work if they have the most stringent testing for anyone arriving but if just 1 gets through, everything is f**ked. F**ked as in back to quarantine for everyone on that island and they might as well forget about everything they put into it. The risks vs rewards aren't worth it.

I now White is clearly thinking, Okay, time to make a huge move. Boxing is out of the picture, time to grab the boxing audience and pull them into UFC once and for all. Sure, it's going to work, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching boxing. If anything it means, more UFC purchases in the future and that is ultimately what White wants. More buys in the future from new fans. All about that $$$.
