White Chimes In on Pacquiao-Mayweather

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/White-Chimes-In-on-Pacquiao-Mayweather-21782

Something White said here seemed rather appropriate (I'll bold the relevant part):

"Throughout Dana White’s sometimes ugly yet always entertaining back-and-forth with the boxing world, the UFC president has maintained his stance that as a fight fan, he is hopeful for boxing’s reemergence.

However, he sounded even less optimistic than usual when discussing the fallout from the drug testing controversy that has enveloped the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. mega-fight tentatively scheduled for March 13.

“Boxing in the United States has fallen apart, and it’s just over,â€￾ White said Wednesday after the UFC 108 news conference. “It’s over. It’s going to take, for it to even have a shot, it would take someone to come in and spend the kind of money the Fertittas spent to try to save boxing. But nobody in boxing spends money to try to save boxing. They all take from boxing; they don’t give back to it, none of them do.â€￾

While White has beaten on this drum many times before, the possibility that the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight may not take place may give his often-dismissed opinion a little more credence. Reasserting his claim that the sport is an also-ran in the United States, the outspoken UFC boss, acknowledging the trouble his answer may cause him with his English fighters, claimed the sport’s European popularity is a sign of weakness that can’t be ignored.

“Everybody knows my philosophy on boxing,â€￾ said White. “They’re in big trouble. There is no amateur program anymore. It’s become a European sport now. Back in the day -- all the people in England are going to blast me for this one, but the European guys couldn’t win jack s---.â€￾

As for the drug testing issues that may scuttle the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout, White sounded indignant that fighters felt the need to go above and beyond the testing implemented by the state athletic commission in Nevada.

“What, fighters decide what fighters are going to do? That’s what the commission is there for,â€￾ commented White. “The athletic commission is there for the safety of the fighters. They drug test, they blood test, they do all those other things. For another fighter to be calling out another fighter for some type of blood work is f------ crazy. Just f------ train for the fight and fight; that’s what everybody wants to see. I want to see this fight. I’m dying to see this fight.â€￾

And if the issues are resolved and the bout does come to fruition, White, the consummate promoter, understands the big picture.

“People are used to this kind of stuff from boxing,â€￾ he said. “If anything, it just makes more people aware of the fight.â€￾

 

Dana "If you are going to complain don't order UFC 108" White.

 

Poor Dana wouldn't have any fighters left if they went to Olympic style testing.

 

Hard to argue with any of what he said.

TFK

 

That's all I have been saYING, spoken like a guy who actually understands contract law.

 

Fuck Dana White...



REED:shit:

Surprising, Isn't It???...



REED:shit:

 

It's funny that you guys have such a problem with common sense, only because it came from the mouth of Dana White.

No, what's Funny is that like the Good Little UFC SHILL that U R, U BLINDLY Accept ANYTHING Dana White Says as the GOSPEL...Even if he TRASHED your Precious Miami DULLfins, U'd B Here Saying "Hard to Argue with Any of what he Said"::...

So the SUCCESS of European Fighters is a Testament to How DEAD Boxing is in America???...It Can't POSSIBLY B a Golden Age of European Boxing, Can It???...America is on the Precipice of Showcasing THE BIGGEST Fight in PPV History, FEATURING an AMERICAN Fighter, yet the Sport is DEAD in America???...."No Amatuer Program Anymore"???:notallthere:...The ONLY "Problem" w/the US Ammy Boxing System is that we FREQUENTLY Put 18,19 & 20 Year Old KIDS in the Ring w/Experienced GROWN ASS MEN...1 Things for CERTAIN, the U.S. Ammy BOXING Program is Doing Waaaaaaaaaaaay Better than ANY U.S. Ammy MMA Programs...

As USUAL, Dana White's Just PIGGYBACKING Off of Boxing...It's Actually VERY EASY to Argue w/MOST of what he Said...
REED:hammert:

 

Yup, if Dana White says it, you'll argue like a retard against it, no matter how much sense it makes.

TFK

 

REED just WIPED his Ass w/MOST of what White Said...Feel FREE to Actually ADDRESS it in the Future...Basically, U're ONLY Useful in the MMA Forum...Cause Anytime U Post OUTSIDE of that Forum, U're TROLLING....


REED:hammert:

 

Totally agree with the bold part. Floyd is a coward. I do believe he can beat Pac if he steps in the ring with him.

 

Funny how every time you disagree with me, I'm 'trolling'. Like anyone who dare have a different opinion than you MUST be trolling.

And you didn't 'wipe your ass' on anything, Reed.

Seriously.




TFK

 

Dude, U've ADMITTED that U LIKE to Stir the Pot:shit:...& Your Posting History has PROVEN that U're Only USEFUL in an MMA Capacity...The PROBLEM is, U're a UFC SHILL, Completely DEVOID of Objectivity in that Regard...

REED Actually ADDRESSED Points that Dana White Made & SHITTED on them...& All U'RE Doing in Response is TROLLING...MOVEthefuckON OR COUNTER the Points that REED Made...

Simple as That...



REED:kidcool:

 

The only point you made is that no matter what Dana White says, you're against it. You cry like a little baby whenever anyone says something you don't agree with, and your only counter is they must be 'trolling' or 'don't know what they are talking about'.

Seriously, look at any debate you get into on this board. It always ends up with you insulting people, telling them they are trolling, and getting into arguments. You just can't accept that there may actually be something other than what you believe.

Sorry Reed, but your comprehension level is so elementary, it's not even worth bothering to get into it with you. I've schooled you on so many topics in the past, but you still don't quite understand. All you can do is claim I'm 'trolling', or ever more sad, harp on a mis-typed name.

We get it, Reed. You don't like Dana White. Everything he says MUST be wrong. It just has to be. I mean, you don't like him. So everything he says is wrong. And everything everyone else says that you don't agree with...well that's wrong too.

We get it.

LOL I was about to post the same thing. All this drama over a fucking random blood test that Pacman refuses to take. ::

 

Too bad Dana couldn't run boxing because he's better than anyone who claims to have any say in the way the sport is run right now. Oscturd is destroying the sport with his ego and his lying ass, Floyd is destroying the sport with his pick and choose and making new rules crap. I can understand why boxing fans hate Dana, because he gives the best fights possible, let's you watch freebies on TV, makes them fight in the octogon and gives incentives to those that actually fight and not run. So boxing fans hate this because they can't have a hero that has a zero on his record because he actually has to fight the toughest possible opponent time after time (well that and most boxing fans are retarded fanboys). Boxing blows the way it's run now, bottom line.

 

Sure, but despite all that, it's still far superior to MMA.

 

Whatever you say!

 

Agreed they are both at fault here. I just want to see the fight. They need to agree on something and make this happen! :bears:

Hi Dana!

 

I agree with what white said in the bold part (and I hate Dana White) its not Mayweathers job to issue drug test .Its the NSAC
