Everything he says is for a potential profit. Every word that comes out of this goofs mouth is something that he thinks will get him closer to money.
I read the original quote of the OP and barely noticed the reference to Trump as that pertains so little to the actual meat of this thread. I just find it funny how just the mere mention of his name makes a thread turn into politics mainly from "left" leaning posters. Its 100 percent TDS and its a Helluva drug...... Muppets.You can’t call people muppets when you don’t even know what tax bracket you’re in lol
But again, you posed this question of how on earth people could bring up Trump/Trump Jr in this thread. And it’s because of the quote in the OP. It’s not really hard to follow.
Bullshit im sure he watched the fight hoping Francis would get embarrassed
So a guy that probably wanted be a boxing promoter, has been caught watching boxing cage side during a title fight on his own company, missed the HW champion fighting his Lineal UFC champion??
It's just odd is all. I wonder if they reached out to Ja Rule for his opinion but he was unavailable?
You act like the republican tax cuts affect your broke ass in any way, lmao.
Very reasonable reply by Dana. It's the kind of reply that leaves open a door for possibly doing business with Francis at some point in the future.“The fact that he went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury is crazy,” White said. “He just went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury, Conor [McGregor] made it 9 or 10 with Floyd, Anthony Pettis just beat Roy Jones Jr. – I know Roy is friggin’ 60 years old or whatever, but I don’t know what the hell is going on. It’s crazy.
“I didn’t see the fight, but the fact that he went 10 rounds is unbelievable. I don’t care. Listen, these guys, at some point, everybody is going to move on. Everybody has to do what’s right for them and make money for their families, so whatever they’ve got to do, they’ve got to do.”
“Every time I get on the phone with one of these boxing guys, I go, ‘What the f*** am I doing?’” White said. “Am I out of my mind? These guys are all horrible to deal with.”
Trump Jr. suggested that the pay structure of boxing could be to blame for the corruption in the sport; promoters typically take a much smaller cut of the profits from an event while fighters take the lion’s share. In the UFC, fighters make between 15-20 percent of the revenue while the promotion reportedly bears more in-house costs of event production.
“When you see the UFC guys, they go do boxing, they’re still a different sort of pay structure in boxing,” Trump Jr. said. “Is that aspect of it, there’s just too much money that it’s broken, that it just sort of lends itself to corruption. There’s no real control, right?”
“It’s not even the corruption – you can’t built a business off it,” White responded. “The key to having something is building a business. When you talk about the NFL, the NBA, MLB, they took football, basketball and baseball and created a business out of it. That’s what we did with fighting, and it just can’t be done with boxing.”

Sherdog can't embed rumble but I timestamped the part where Dana talks about Ngannou.
Based Dana.
Lets see how people spin this into PINK GOOF IN SHAMBLES.
There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Dana didn't watch his former heavyweight champion fight Tyson Fury. He's just trying to pretend he didn't care.
Boxers keeping a bigger share of the money that they generated = being a good little Democrat.
For your next annual review at work, don't ask for a raise. That would make you a soyboy democrat.
Americans pay nowhere near that amount of tax nor are in any serious "threat" of doing so lol. Read a book about global economics instead of following some dude who is famous for being some other guys son.
You act like the republican tax cuts affect your broke ass in any way, lmao.
