He's that cheap guy that talks a lot and nobody like.

President of UFC also, maybe.

Who on earth is Dana White anyway?

The guy who created UFC

Edit: Also known as that bald prick you see parading around

[Kel]

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.

I don't think the UFC or MMA in general has hit aywhere near its prime yet Lyle.

Who knows; maybe it has, but imo it is still a fledgling sport and compard to boxing in its infancy. The sport has only really become legit in the last 6-8 years or so. Dana saved the sport because he knows how to market it and busts his ass promoting it, and damn if he hasn't made leaps and bounds and each year it becomes bigger and bigger.

Dana is a jackass though personality wise and I really can't stomach him personally; but he's good at what he does. Whether or not he feels slighted by boxing or not is irrelevant because he's quickly making boxing take a back seat to MMA{from a mainstream point of view}and in 10 years time no telling how big it will be. Lesnar made 3 million his last fight and no telling how much these guys will get down the line.

Yeah I've been reading about Floyd's remarks on an MMA forum the past few days; was wondering when Dana would say something.

Floyd would get owned in MMA, BJ Penn or Shawn Sherk would make him look stupid and ruin him; just like them dudes would get owned by him in a boxing match. 2 different sports who cares.

And white people didn't start MMA; UFC it was started by the Gracie family to showcase how superior their fighting system was to any on the planet. Joyce Gracie was fighting 3 guys a night; no weight limits or gloves, and winning. He would cripple Floyd. As usual Floyd talking out his ass and doesn't even know the facts. It was racial as well as stupid.

That one guy who looked like Sagat from Street Fighter who fought the sumo wrestler and kicked his teeth out of his mouth is burned into my head. I think it was either 1 or 2. I must have been about 10 years old. That was awesome

1st one that was I think, serious entertainment. Keith Hackney againsed that Emanuelle yarborough (spelling) in UFC 3 I think was, unreal. He was like 600+pounds and got battered but Keith broke his hand and was out after that.

I think in UFC 4 he (Keith) was againsed the guy that ran around the ring after the Kimo Gracie fight in UFC 3 (and got shouted at by Big John the ref). He was thumping him in the bollocks!

It was great then, proper like!

[boozeboxer]

I think the "white people need a fight sport" comment is very accurate and appeals to whites of lower earnings, education, and age. It has a white trash appeal that people eat up.

Yes they are. Floyd says they aren't on his level? Tell me Floyd would stand a chance against a guy who outweighs him by almost 100 pounds like Dan Severn outweighed Joyce.

Floyd couldn't fight in MMA because of his brittle ass hands and the small gloves in MMA would have him crying 1st punch he threw.

i'm no Floyd fanboy buton the flipside of what you said, tell me one 50 yr old who's never boxed who can knock Mayweather out cold, the way Mercer did to Sylvia
