Comments Thread For: Dana White Slams Arum: You Can't Afford To Put Fights On, You F---ing Jackoff!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

UFC President Dana White has verbally unloaded in the direction of Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum. The two executives are far from strangers when it comes to trading words. In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, Arum gave his take on White's decision to schedule several events in the month of May - while the country is dealing with the ongoing cornavirus pandemic.

I don't know if he's bankrupt, but he does have a new found interest in working with PBC, and then there's this:

Bob Arum open to selling Top Rank, has talked with major companies including Endeavor and DAZN
At 88, Arum says “anything is for sale.”

Speaking with Business Insider, Bob Arum has confirmed that he is open to the idea of selling Top Rank and its many assets, and that he has had talks with Endeavor, Liberty Global, and even DAZN.

The 88-year-old Arum also adds (and this has to be stressed) that “maybe we won’t sell,” but it’s certainly worth noting that Arum — who is a co-promoter for Wilder vs Fury 2 this weekend, which is the biggest fight on the boxing calendar — is open to the idea, and has had talks with companies that could very possibly be legitimate buyers.

Endeavor, of course, is the company that bought UFC for $4.025 billion back in 2016, back when it was known as WME-IMG; Liberty Global is is a major multinational telecommunications company; and DAZN is DAZN, the over-the-top streaming service which has invested heavily into boxing since launching in the United States in 2018, including major content deals with Matchroom Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions.

The DAZN interest is perhaps the one that will most make boxing fans’ eyebrows raise. That could be difficult to pull off, since Top Rank have a long-term deal with ESPN networks and are, in fact, a competitor with DAZN, directly so through their own ESPN+ streaming service, which televises plenty of boxing and is the home for their pay-per-view efforts from both boxing and UFC.

Arum says he met with DAZN backer Leonard Blavatnik “last week.”

Best news I heard all day. I can’t stand that old ***! Boxing will be much better when he’s gone.

[KTFOKING]

I remember when UFC signed their ESPN deal and Arum was saying for the first few months how they are part of the same team and what not....Well, that didn't last long lol.

But Endeavor is desperate to put on fights and that's why White is so hellbent on doing so. Boxing promoters/promotional outfits can be more patient and take their time to alleviate the risks that come with it at this time.

[OnePunch]

you can call Bob alot of things, but I dont think that "broke" or "bankrupt" are on that list........

He later clarified and said he’s looking for an investor. He said he would keep the controlling interest.

This means that White and Endeavor don't give a damn about the safety of fighters and others involved but are driven by money. If this is true they are worse than cowboys, they are criminals.

*** off naked brain, no one cares about your bent fighters in the ufc

Picking fights with a man knocking on heaven's door is about Dana's barrel....
