    They get in deep about boxers padding their records, too many belts, Canelo ducking Benavidez, Tyson fighting Jake Paul. What’s your thoughts on their input with the state of boxing right now?

    This. Relying on the Brand name instead of your fighters' star power is going to be a problem in the long run, if he keeps paying them peanuts. Fighters are going to stop coming to the UFC and then no one will give a shit, because fans don't give a shit about UFC 593278 or whatever it's going to be, they care about the particular match ups. If Saudi Arabia ends up making the best consistently fight the best while keeping the fighters paid and happy, then Dana is fucked.

    Dana White is the Woman Who SWEARS She’s Moved On, Is Living Her “Best Life”, Yet CANNOT Resist Referencing Her Ex Every 5 Fucking Minutes…

    & In White’s Case, BOXING Is the “Ex”…

    Yup. He's insecure AF, and feels threatened by boxing. If he didn't feel threatened, he'd have nothing to say.

    Still, in the UFC, the best fight the best and often. In boxing, it is a rare treat. Those are facts and it will always mean boxing is deserving of criticism.

    Agreed…

    Boxing Certainly Isn’t EXEMPT From Criticism, REED Just Questions Dana White’s Right to Do So…It’s Like the Town DRUNK Talking Shit About the Town CRACKHEAD, or Vice Versa.

    Monopolies work.
    Canelo ducking Benavidez?
    Is UFC as popular as it was? I don't watch boxing or UFC anywhere near what I used to.

    But the UFC format of the best fighting the best just isn’t sustainable….just look at their UFC 300 card coming up soon…it’s shit compared to UFC 100 & 200….PLUS its bs anyway “the best fighting the best” there are plenty of tune ups in the UFC…

    Dana didn’t lie about some(most today) boxers padding their record 50-0 50kos, chasing the money….avoiding top opponents. Just look at 135-140 Haney, Tank, Teo, Shakur… look at Bud avoiding Boots….look at Canelo ducking Benevidez.

    They are all entitled to a tuneup or 3…in between big fights but fuk Bud hasn’t fought in almost a year. Canelo hasn’t fought anyone worth shit since 2022…

    Dana always needs an enemy to hate or talk down 2….back in 2005-6 he thought by now boxing would be long dead and the UFC would be #1….but nope

    Indeed. Boxing fans criticize the sport more than anyone else and it's quite warranted. Dana White can pretend he's a fan but he has his own agenda, and its not one of making boxing better, it's to big up his own product via comparison.

    For me that's a side issue, i don't care to watch a video of that blowhard talking about any subject.

    Hasn't Dana White tried to get into boxing before and failed? If so, why does he think he has the answers?

    Media: Dana, what do you have to say about your fighters constantly saying they're underpaid?

    Dana: Didja see that fuckin mismatch in boxing last night?

    Media: Yes Dana, but we're talking about your company right now.

    Dana: Didja know that Don King stole from Ali and Tyson. What sport was that in?

    Media: Boxing, but..

    Dana: I rest my case. Next question.

    Dana: Who faked the moon landing? Kubrick right? Alright, dig this: Kubrick casts Jack Nicholson in The Shining. What's Jack's favorite sport to attend outside of Laker games?

    Media: Boxing faked the moon landing??

    Dana hasn't recovered from old man Arum saying: "Rolling on the ground like a bunch of homosexuals."

    They cast Jake Gyllenhaal to play an ex-MMA fighter in the remake of Road House.

    The star of Brokeback Mountain playing a cage fighter. Extremely fitting.

    Media: Prince Naseem had a solid alibi at the time, Dana. He was eating.

    Dana: Did I say it was Prince Naseem? Sorry. I meant Prince Charles Williams.
