What’s the latest on Dana White’s boxing organization?

[Freddie83]

Boxing appears to be picking up traction again especially with all the noise the Paul brothers have made recently. Is a UFC sponsored boxing organization still the plan for Dana White?

"World fucking domination."

 

[TITS]

The pandemic fucked up his plans for Zuffa Boxing.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Dead in the water

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Boxing is boring

Can't even kick a guy in the head

 

[Freddie83]

He got distracted by "Fuck it Fridays".

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

It's now a fitness organization to compete with Peloton rather than a promotion

 

[The Mookster]

Canelo wasn't interested in making 500k a fight

 

[Schoolboy Q]

I think Dana realized he couldn’t lowball high level boxers with shit MMA pay. So he dipped.

There would be no exclusive contracts allowed like the UFC has.

They could leave and fight anywhere they wanted anytime they wanted for a bigger paycheque and bigger piece of the pie.

I don’t think this idea was ever meant to happen in any capacity.

The MMA fighters would be watching and be outraged.

Like if your boss started hiring people for a job similar to your own that paid 3X as much.

I'm sure dana is getting tons of calls from top boxers desperate to make that big ufc money

That article is five years old. Is the information still accurate?

tbh this photo is more of an inspiration than mocking the man.

Zuffa Boxing would be a great way to showcase freakshow/celebrity fights. Triller model all day.

Yea the Ali act is still in effect

 

[notsojollyrogerRIP]

Does anyone know if the Ali Act applies to amateur boxing?

 

[MeatWagon06]

Zuffa no longer owns the UFC.. so would this not just be another Fertitta/Dana venture.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Probably why Zuffa Boxing never took off. Dana’s slave contracts wouldn’t fly

 

[welcometohavoc]

Unsurprising considering boxers have better avenues for employment.

If you want to make money in MMA you either fight for the UFC or you get big enough to get a good contract from Bellator
