White said the same thing about 5 years ago and said he would change the face of boxing. He had a couple of middling cards and then cursed out the nastiness and corruption of the boxing world with the promoters and sanctioning bodies. After that it was crickets....

While the current landscape of boxing is essentially anarchy with no rules and little governance, White is essentially a dictator in his world...he brings order and discipline but I'm not sure his world is all that much better.

I assume its because Conor is pulling some BS again so they're gonna promote a boxing card with him, probably a Floyd rematch or vs Pac.

I was thinking something similar. Could Coner be facing Ginger soon??? I really hope not, but that would be a big announcement...

The Muhammad Ali act- which regulates boxing, but not MMA, will not allow White to operate like he does in UFC- he cannot be the promoter and sanctioning body all in one

All he has to do is stage events outside the US... It's a US federal law.

Boxing is like US politics, the powers that be are set. Billionaires like Jay Z couldn't even make noise.

White needs to stick with MMA. It's a frustrating business to be with without patience. Don't know how this guy could handle greedy fighters in boxing.
