    The UFC has only 1 brand they worry about and do not try to compete with anyone else unlike boxing has let's say Arum....Arum and others like him put on shit bouts after shit bouts taking us for all fools....90% of the time we all end up bitching about the quality of cards or even under cards more then not turn out to be better then the main event....

    What if White and the UFC entered boxing, signed fighters and put on cards the way they do in the UFC?....Then they made their own title?......I mean shit Pride, COG, WEC etc all inspire to be the UFC and UFC has boughten a few out....In fact fighters strive just to fight in the UFC let alone be a UFC champion....

    1 out of every 8 UFC cards are just OK but almost NEVER suck....
    (if you are an MMA fan I am speaking of because you hardly ever hear MMA fans bitching about the sports quality).....

    UFC 126 PPV portion consisted of....John Jones Vs Ryan Bader, Forrest Griffith Vs Rich Franklin, Anderson Silva Vs Vetor Belfort....

    That is boxings equal to.....Floyd Vs Manny, Cotto Vs Berto and JuanMa Vs Gamboa......

    The President is an average Joe who does not sugar coat or bullshit, they have no sanctioning fees, the PPV cards are cheaper.....

    In short they are business men in the UFC who know how to keep not only fans but fighters happy, have a legit champion because there is only ONE champion.....

    I won't keep going on because I do not want to seem like I am a big MMA nut because boxing is the sport I love but personally I would love to see Dana White get involved in boxing.....

    Anyone who knows about MMA look at the last 10 UFC PPV cards then look at boxings and there is no comparison......

    IMO they would bury King, Arum, GBP, GSP, Warren ect in terms of quality and in terms of the way the champions they have are looked at....

    Any thoughts or am I just crazy for thinking so?
    He better be prepared to open his wallet like never before. Cuz there's no way he's getting a Juan Manuel Lopez or a Sergio Martinez for the amount his fighters make. Mayweather, Pacquiao and foreign fighters like Bute and Froch wouldn't give him the time of day unless he's talking millions.

    Of course the paydays would need be higher but guys you mentioned have been in the sport for years not all fighters make what they do not even close and that includes most of the other world champions.....Like I said it does not have to be White himself but the structure of the UFC....

    OK lets say someone like White came over. There would no way he would be able to sign all the top guys, Mayweather, Pac, JMM, Cotto, Kahn, Bradley, Martinez, etc. etc. So that would mean we would never get a chance to see those guys outside of the "UFC" fight each other. At leat with boxing we have a chance to see it happen. Look at that Fedor emailianko guy, i hear a lot of people say he's the best. He will never get a chance to fight a guy from UFC because he's in a different fight league. I don't know much about the way UFC works, but i don't think they co-promote the way boxing does. We would never have a chance to see some of the top fights because not all guys would be under the same banner.

    Understandable point...In truth if GBP did exactly what they said they were going to ONCE STARTED they could have been the saviour of boxing and they had a lot of guys hyped top sign with them but in the end they turned out to be just another promoter...Fals promises and bullshit

    He would always carry the mma banner so I cant see him doing much frankly when head to head with fighters turned promoters in the sport. Simply put he's a good money man but respect is a different animal and don't see him getting it from a Pac etc. I think he'd be what Vince McMahon was to the NFL Ufc is a babe in the woods compared to boxing...its kingpin coming 'over' says it all if it were to happen.
