Dana White "Floyd Mayweather is not a superstar"

[generalbulldog]

He didn't create UFC, he revived it.

Very well.....Dana is allowed to talk about how Floyd "isn't a superstar" when and if one of his own fighters makes Floyd Mayweather Jr. kind of money, until then MMA needs to know it's role and have that bald headed prick shut the fuck up! That guy gets mad at Brock Lesnar for going all WWE after his win, it's DANA WHITE that makes sure MMA remains a laughing stock.

You would never catch Roger Goddell, Bud Selig, or David Stern doing anything that Dana White has done. Plain and simple, Dana feels slighted by boxing, and is out to get the sport that denied him and well he's just going to have a tough time with it....here right now in the PRIME of UFC they still can't pull in the money like boxing can.

And what's funny is that their highest paid stars gets paid in the low hundred thousands while boxing's top stars are paid in the tens of millions with a slice of the PPV revenue. I remember reading awhile back a report that compared boxing's PPV revenue in 2007 compared to the UFC's PPV buys and 2 fights, the Oscar-Floyd fight and the Hatton-Floyd fight almost outdid all of the PPV buys of the UFC, and mind you UFC has like 1 major PPV fight a month. I think the UFC only had 1 or 2 events that surpassed 1 million buys. Whent he HW division had an abundance of stars in the 90s, they regularly passed the 1 million mark easy.

The so called reason why the MMA world is supposedly more popular now than boxing is because the Heavywieght division doesn't have an exciting star that can capture the public and the rest of the sporting world. If there was an HW out there on the horizon with the talent of a young ALi, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, the MMA sports world will crawl back in the shithole they were in for many years before they seemed to capture momentum when the HW division was on the downside.
