Dana has being trying to get his own boxing promotion for some time no?
Best case scenario it’s a ProBoxTV type product with a few homegrown prospects fighting to build up their brand.
Worst case is this is PowerSlap 2.0

Dana just needed an obscenely wealthy benefactor and WWE's vice president to get this done.

He's always had his sugar daddies. First the Fertittas, then WME, now the Saudi wealth fund.
When he's left to his own devices we get Powerslap.

Given the state of it in 2025 its hardly even surprising that Jake Paul boxing has surpassed professional boxing.

UFC is already bigger than boxing and soccer combined. In fact PowerSlap is already more popular than all sports in the world combined. Dana said so and he wouldn't lie to us he's white.

I don't know how old you are but a lot of people who are either over 40 or Mexican follow boxing. I have way more people I know who watch boxing especially the big fights

Boxing also has some hardcore fans, fans who will pay $80 to watch their favorite boxer no matter who they are facing or who's on the undercard.

It makes me sad but I agree. I used to love boxing and the death of HBO boxing and the increasing paywalls(dazn, ppv) killed it for me. I checked out before the freak show celebrity boxing faze we are in now

It will happen…
When has Dana White ever been wrong?
When has Dana White ever been wrong?
Three things.
1. This is about Ari Emanuel, not Dana. The amount of people who follow MMA religiously for years and still think Dana calls the shots is out of control.
2. Dana himself has always wanted to be a scumbag boxing promoter more than a scumbag cage fighting promoter - he has always carried an inferiority complex. Dana has never particularly liked MMA.
3. This is terrible news for both boxing and MMA.
