“That’s not necessarily true,” White said. “That’s the bullshit publicly that people believe, but that’s not the truth. Total bullshit. Total bullshit.”

“That’s that whole myth that makes everybody go, ‘Oh, let’s f*cking go to boxing!’ and all this bullshit. Boxing don’t work. Boxing does not work. What makes it work? You need a Saudi f*cking trillionaire to make f*cking fights. And even Saudi trillionaires get tired of the f*cking bullshit. It’s all a f*cking myth. It’s all a myth.”



Such a shame that mma fans have to put up with this idiot man-child.
Also, any of the gobshites who swore Ngannou would never fight MMA again.... hows about ya now????

The rest of your OP is valid TS imo. But this one, I think it's pretty clear Francis only come back to MMA because he has exhausted his boxing potential. There is no other big name he can fight.

He got lucky Tyson Fury was trying to avoid Usyk and gave him a fight, which he performed really well and he got the Joshua fight. He lost so bad so now none of the boxing promoters and top HWs take him seriously, the only other boxer who wants to fight him which is Wilder also got koed really bad by Zhang Zhilei and most likely retires.

so just to be clear - the people I referred to are incorrect and he is in fact fighting in mma again?

I don't recall mentioning the reasons behind his decisions.
 
Obviously, I mean who really believes that Mcgregor made “more” money for fighting Mayweather , he was just there for the hell of it , everyone knows he could have made way more fighting Masvidal for his bullshit make believe championship
 
Dana is so salty and holds a grudge, he just can't let go of it. Same with GSP, Tito, Fedor, Randy Couture, Paul Daley and many others outside of MMA like Bob Arum or Oscar etc etc. As soon as they do something he doesn't like and Dana doesn't get his own way he becomes spiteful, and he just can't let go of it.
 
I wonder in what context he meant. Francis made more money, but the money comes and goes. His record and whats happened, he wont be easy to forget.
 
I need the full interview it sounds more like he's talking about random people going to boxing and if you do go to boxing you need the Oil Sheiks trillions to be able to be paid well otherwise you wont be.
lol. No need to stand up for Dana. He is asked specifically about Ngannou making money and he says its not true.

 
He is a promoter. He is supposed to lie or else he loses his job.

Of course it's total bullshit and the UFC pays the fighters a very low % compared to other sports.

Idc rich fighters don't tend to fight, because it's a hard ass "sport"
