Comments Thread For: White: I Can Promote Boxing Better, Arum's TV Deal is Not Great

lol so why haven't they made an offer for the UFC, now when it's available?

oh but they have

[R_Walken]

Not a fan of Dana or really the UFC

But the guy can promote his a.ss off, The fact that his company made women's MMA reputable and Ronda Rousey a household and a bunch of other clubby night names known name should tell you that

if he aligned with someone like Haymon/ or Arum ( Won't happen ) he probably has a good chance at being successful

The UFC has lost a lot of steam the last couple years and The UFC guys probably won't be happy once they see what they should be getting paid but whatever it'll probably be good for the sport if he gets involved and works with Top end talent.

No idea, but how do you know that an offer wasn't made?

The UFC on FOX deal, as it's currently set up, has a present value of $200m a year. The UFC then does 12 PPVs a year, generating who knows what (sans Conor, would not shock me if the UFC's PPVs generated $200m-$250m in their own right.

If TimeWarner was going to come to the table, just as Stephen Espinoza made clear a while ago, it'd be for the full package.

$400m per year or whatever the price is, for everything UFC, with UFC still keeping the promoter's share of a reduced PPV scheduled.

im pulling for u dana. **** the old guard

Top Rank has been beating the UFC in demos lately.

All Dana has to do is pray that WME throw enough money to work with Haymon.

He has nothing to offer aside from his cartoonish media persona.

WHAT? Last time Top Rank had a successful PPV?

Conor versus Nate Diaz wouldn’t remotely compete with Floyd and Pacquiao’s numbers. Not in this generation or the next. People will pay til this day to watch Floyd lose. He can be 50 and he would still out sell both of them. The casual or hardcore boxing fans alike aren’t screaming either of their names. That would be a rude introduction to a boxing promotion given how neither can box. If anyone for one second thinks Conor wasn’t carried by Floyd is delusional about the sweet science.

Talking about CURRENTLY! Hilarious how the same people who hate Mayweather uses him and his PPV Buys in a argument when it comes to UFC vs Boxing.

Once again let me make it clear I'm talking about Currently, guys who are CURRENTLY fighting and the Current State of Boxing. McGregor vs Diaz 3 in a boxing match DESTROYS Canelo vs GGG and any other fight that is considered a big Boxing match "CURRENTLY"

[A.K]

Arums ratings on espn have killed all ufc ratings last year, white looking like a bigger moron everytime he opens his mouth.

[PoserExposer]

It’s called backtracking when you have a piss poor argument. You CURRENTLY sound like a moron!

I stand on it 100% no current boxing match would sell more than McGregor vs Diaz 3. Hell it is no BOXER Mayweather can fight since you want to drag him into it, that he can fight that would do as big as his fight with McGregor did!

[PoserExposer]

Best believe you’ll be the first one I’m going to pick on when McGregor doesn’t crack 4.6 million against Diaz or any non-boxing UFC fighter.
