DANA WHITE:"Pacquiao-De La Hoya, Bad Day For Boxing"

[bikersk]

He has a point it wasn't the best coverage. Dana just comes across as pretty negative most of the time it seems. Doesn't have much good to say about anything.

His points are spot on, even if he is a tit. It's every single ppv nowadays, where the crowd are asleep except for the main event. But setting up a good undercard costs money unfortunately, and there aren't that many big name draws in the sport so they spread the fighters around.

Dana can say all he wants to .....as soon as one of his fighters can beat a boxer (in boxing of course).

If MMA is supposed to be the "best of all martial arts" then they should have the best boxers and they don't and that's why he's crying.....that and the fact his shitty UFC could never compete with the buys De la Hoya, Pacquiao, or Mayweather Jr. can create.


Dana White is a worthless piece of shit

[OumaFan]

oh well, we can all slam Dana White but he's right about a few things here.

Dude, someone needs to get this guy to shut the hell up.

[CGM]

White is the competition. Like he's gonna have something good to say about HBO boxing. Go ahead and watch it folks!

I wonder if he though Silva - Cote was good for MMA?

Yeah, great question!

My brother just sent me this from MMAnews:

Dana is just bitter, his projected one million buys for Lesnar-Couture fell short. Pacquiao-De La Hoya will surpass that, Dana should take notes on how the international fans treat their star boxers. Check out Hatton and his British fans, Pacquiao and when he fights the whole country watches, all the crime goes down and he has more secret servicemen then anyone in office in the Phillipines, all the outstanding Mexican fighters, Miguel Cotto and Tito Trinidad and their Puerto Rican fans, Arthur Abraham in Germany, Lucian Bute of Canada, Carl Froch of Nottingham etc etc. Boxing will go nowhere, because there's stars all around the world.

Like what?

I dislike MMA, I dislike the people that like MMA

Dana's complaints are caddy.
Everyone goes crazy when there is a :20 second UFC fight. They act like it was the greatest thing ever. Now we have some undercards where guys get KOed and we are upset we couldn't see a real match.
It's really lame Dana can't just say "what a performance". His sport is mildly entertaining at best.

I think Pacman would beat the tar out of any MMA fighter with boxing gloves on, btw.

Good points.

Rampage "howlin at the moon" Jackson vs Chuck "Stick my chin out" Liddell, there's a matchup for you.

The PPV numbers the UFC is doing suggests otherwise.
