In a sense, Dana is right. The fight doesn't make sense for the UFC, because if Conor fights Floyd he may never fight in the UFC again.Dana White has been at it again with several ridiculous statements which appear to have gone under the radar on here.
The other day I heard him say that the Mayweather/McGregor fight doesn't make much sense for his business. Can someone please assist me in explaining what in the blue hell he is talking about? How on earth could an event which will generate over a million PPV buys (at a minimum), which is already a success by UFC standards, be "bad for business". This will be a co-promotion which will take much of the burden and responsibility from the UFC in terms of advertising and costs etc. How could this be bad for business!?
"We are making this fight for Conor"
"And at the end of the day, does this fight make a ton of sense for me? It really doesn’t"
"But Conor wants this thing really bad and I’ve said it many times, the kid’s stepped up and saved some big fights for me, man, so I’m in. I’ll figure it out"
How cute! This idiot really thinks we are stupid enough to believe that this is somewhat of a favor, like they stand to make no money off this and this is all a gift for Conor?
Fuck out of here you bald, bozo fuck.
Tell me with a straight face that those quotes are honest and accurate, go on.You are putting BOTH phrases in his mouth & he never said either
You know I have no issue with you, but read what I wrote
We have no idea if its co-pro & what Floyd wants & willing to negotiate.
We have no idea the deal UFC/WME made with Conor.
You quoted that DW said
if they are just negotiating for Conor, it is very possible they will make a lot less than if Conor fought for UFC.
I'd say that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will likely never be repeated. Conor is at the pinnacle of his stardom and is a huge star, and so is Floyd Mayweather, he's the PPV king. Let's put on the biggest fight in history.what would the nbr say if he was running the ufc?
Tell me with a straight face that those quotes are honest and accurate, go on.
You have a bee in your bonnet today lol.What is your issue?
You made up things DW said.
He BS enough that all you need to do is use his actual quotes, not make up shit.
You have a bee in your bonnet today lol.
It's all good though, I'll come back another day.

this, if it wasnt bennifitting ufc it wouldnt be madewin or lose the cross-promotion effect will mean that more causal and newbie mma fans are gained then lost. The crazy promotion before the fight will be tremendously huge.
You just called the greatest boxer of our generation a geriatric. You fool.
