    Comments Thread For: Dana White Admits: I'm Not Doing Anything In Boxing Anytime Soon

    Zuffa Boxing appears to be over before ever having a chance to get off the ground. Dana White has once again made the media rounds to play down previous boasts of coming into rescue boxing. The longtime president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) discussed during a recent interview with The Sports Network's Aaron Bronsteter the extreme unlikelihood of his yet-to-launch boxing company making inroads in the near future.

    Boxing is a total mess. Spence and Crawford are both over 30, undefeated, and in the same weight class and they refuse to fight each other. Simply ridiculous.

      💯

      He’s absolutely right. It’s broken, starting with groupie fans counting the fighters money or making excuses for them. Fact is there are many good fights to make but fighters won’t make them until people demand it. I will never order a PPV where you have a heavy favorite when I know that fighter side stepped a pick’em fight. These fighters want to get paid like stars without doing the work to become stars.

        Dana is like a shy ****** with a Only Fans account. Its one tease after another lol.

        That said he's not wrong & he's preaching to the choir in me by saying boxing needs to be rebuilt & restructured. Everyone knows boxing makes zero fooking sense outside of the ring & it might be the only major sport that doesn't make sense outside the playing ground of a sport.

          Guy found out real quick boxers don't want to be paid crappy like 90% of UFC fighters are. He can sugar coat it but he wasn't going to do very well because everyone knows how badly he screws those guys out of money. Let me know when the top UFC guys aren't begging for boxing matches to make good money, or when a full on UFC fight beats Floyd Mayweather PPV buys.

            Nothing you can do Boxing is the sports where the champions fights anybody who is anybody and no sanctioning bodies or commissioner does anything about that

              The top guys in the UFC are millionaires and that’s without endorsements. No they aren’t boxing millionaires however they continue because unlike boxing the best fights the best at all times. See groupies such as yourself is the primary reason why boxing has becoming a laughingstock and is in the s h I t t e r.

              Instead of saying what every true fan already knows that there’s a huge problem you shield your eyes and pretend it doesn’t exist. All the while chanting but muh muh muhweather ppv buys. Ever see boxing outside of the top echelon? They are dirt poor. Most have 2nd and 3rd jobs. 90% of boxers are paid crappy. But you’ll never admit that because you have your own agenda.

                Save your money and time Dana!

                Boxing is a AWFUL Investment Right Now! Too much Politics and BS with a bunch Decent Fighters thinking they're Mayweather and deserve Mayweather Money without having to put in the work that Mayweather put in to become the Superstar that he was

                You have Prospects who did not win a Olympic Gold Medal and wasn't even a Amateur Stand Out wanting big Money Immediately and big Signing Bonuses instead of working their way up and building their own Brand from the ground Up. Then because you have so many Belts, a guy grab a BS WBA Gold or World Belt and those guys all of a sudden think they're Mayweather and start feeling like they should make Big Money even before doing anything in the sport of boxing. It is just out of control and maybe the Pandemic can Rid Boxing of some of this Nonsense that has completely SUNK Boxing in Popularity here in the States!

                    “ my 5k 10k purses didn’t work and top guys didn’t wanna take mu ufc top fighters money which was 150k for a champ on ppv”

                    Lol
