Comments Thread For: Dana White Erupts, Tears Apart Bob Arum Over Crawford Comments

How many fighters is bob paying at that level and how many is Dana? Average UFC fighter (not mma) makes more then an average pro boxer.

You’re comparing a company to an entire sport. UFC is the top level of MMA. Do MMA fighters as a whole earn more than boxers? No.

Do top level MMA fighters I.E guys signed with UFC, Bellator etc earn more than top level boxers I.E guys signed with TR, PBC etc? Hell no.

There’s a reason the biggest draw in MMA history had to come over to boxing and cash out to make some real money.

Dana White should buy out Crawford's contract, if Zuffa Boxing can do better.

[ArthurDimes]

I mean he’s right, but considering he’s never paid the GOAT of his company (Jon Jones) more than 580k for a fight I don’t really think he has any room to call someone a piece of s***. UFC has absolutely dominated boxing in sales on every non Mayweather pay per view for like 15 years and ya can’t give your greatest fighter two commas on his check?

Exactly I always see people on here comparing money between the sports and there is a reason why no high level boxers are crossing over to the UFC but Poirier, Nurmagomedov, McGregor(again), Cejudo, Garbrandt, Miocic, Ngannou etc have all expressed their interest to come fight in boxing and it's simple because they know they are going to get paid.

I don't blame Arum or Crawford before the fight Crawford was already talking about how this was possibly his last fight with TR so I don't blame Arum for feeling disrespected after all they put into Terences career. It's for the best honestly hopefully Crawford becomes a free agent and can finally fight top competition instead of everyone elses leftovers.

Dana White is an idiot this is the same guy who just a few weeks ago was talking **** about the main event fighter Uriah Hall who won by knocking out Anderson Silva like c'mon man this guy just beat a legend and your ****ting on him by saying he throws no punches well he landed enough to put him out so yeah that's the type of guy Dana is though he doesn't have a good relationship with most his roster just the people he sees as potential stars who will make him the most cash.

Once again people need to stop comparing the structure of "UFC" to boxing because UFC is just an organization in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts meanwhile Boxing is a whole sport with several organizations so yeah just deal with it because it's not changing anytime soon. People forget UFC bought out Pride FC, WEC, and Strikeforce and if you check the numbers most of their marquee champions came from those organizations.

Yeah exactly, people need to understand boxing is a sport and UFC isn’t, it’s just an organisation within a sport. The comparisons should end there...

I'm sick of all the bullsh*t in boxing. Super champions, Franchise champions, bridgerweights, marinating, "the other side of the street," etc.

Zuffa Boxing would gives us 1 belt per weight class and make the best fight the best. If fighters of the quality of Canelo and Crawford were to go over there they would bring legitimacy and start credible title lineages.

Obviously there's a measure of hypocrisy in what he's saying, but he's not wrong either

[JonDP]

Crawford is already out the door and Arum is just slamming it behind him. Both are at fault regarding Crawford's lack of star power.
