UFC's White Getting Promoter's License: 100% - I'm Doing Boxing

[SaadOffTheDeck]

It'll definitely be a different challenge than his start in MMA. Easier in the sense that boxing as a sport is on a much higher level than MMA in the late 90s, but more difficult in that with MMA he had pretty much a blank slate, whereas boxing is already messy. Not sure how he'll go about signing fighters. With the vast majority already signed to top promoters and advisers, how many are going to be willing to put the best years of their career at risk for this experiment?

Mma was quite messy, it had been banned it most states.

I dont like him. Hopefully he fails. I dont want this moron in boxing, with wilder, broner and charlo bros we have enough morons already.

What makes him a moron? He's a pretty intelligent, and crafty guy from what I can tell.

He is not intelligent. He is an aggressiv hard working business man. I give him that. But that doesnt interest me. I dont care if someone is hard working or not working. I care if i find somebody cool or the opposite.

Dana is a petty Bourgeois. Simple minded guy.

Turning 2 million into 4 billion and counting is cool as fornicate.

Fair point, but it was much more open for one dominant organisation to take control in comparison to the fragmented landscape of boxing in 2017.

Sure, because nobody else thought it would ever go anywhere. Huge risk, much bigger than anything they did in boxing now.

Why not? That's exactly what I'd have in the pipeline if I were him.

Maybe he has that in mind, but given he pays majority of his fighters peanuts, can't imagine any top fighters joining a closed promotion. His best bet is to operate in the same way as every other promotion in boxing, at least for now.

He doesn't pay peanuts. That's a boxing fan myth. There are certainly plenty of fighters that want. And some that deserve, more but that's any business that's going right. Boxing needs more 'peanut' purses.

Considering I'm a fan of MMA, it's not.

Maybe for you. Who makes 50k in the UFC?

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Not many would walk with that figure. Some make less, most make more.

Hopefully we're not dealing with another reported income poster. Last week someone was claiming Conor made 9 million in his whole career.

That is one of the few things money cant buy coolness.

Do gates and buffet look cool to you? To me not and they turnt 0 into 100 billion +
