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

[OumaFan]

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

[gyrokai]

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.

[Julius Rain]

well Dana Whites best ufc fighter is under freddy roach currently correct?

[TitoFan]

"bad day for boxing?"

Who's Dana White and why won't she shut the hell up?

The PPV numbers the UFC is doing suggests otherwise.

[TitoFan]

The UFC is techno to boxing's rock and roll.
One is a passing fad and will eventually die off.
The other is a classic and will live forever.

I agree that boxing is classic and will live forever, and MMA's huge boom will eventually taper off, but I think MMA is legit and will be around forever as well. There is room for both imo

[Boom Boom]

I think there is room for both but the comparisons need to stop for it to happen. Football and Soccer are about as similar as UFC and Boxing and both thrive.
