As Dana White moves on with his endeavor into boxing next year, he is eager to challenge what he views as the ‘misconception' of a chasm-like distinction in payment designs in between that sport and blended martial arts.
There's little rejecting that boxing remains in a plentiful stage at the minute, much (or most) of which is being moneyed by Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority which has actually seen a cavalcade of high profile battles occurring in the Middle East and, more just recently, London as battle sports benefactor Turki Alalshikh continues to bankroll boxing.
The UFC's payment design has actually entered into concern in current months, especially after previous UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou left the organisation a number of years ago upon the expiration of his agreement– after which he signed a huge cash handle the PFL, in addition to handling 2 high profile boxing battles versus Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Speaking to the media, consisting of The Mac Life, in Las Vegas on Tuesday, White was rather to disagreement declares that boxing is on another monetary level to the UFC.
“That's not always real,” White stated, dealing with a concern from press reporter Kevin Iole as kept in mind by MMA Fighting.
“That's the bullshit openly that individuals think, however that's not the fact. Overall bullsh * t. Total bullsh * t,” he included.
“That's that entire misconception that makes everyone go, ‘Oh, let's f * cking go to boxing!' and all this bullshit. Boxing do not work. Boxing does not work. What makes it work? You require a Saudi f * cking trillionaire to make f * cking battles. And even Saudi trillionaires get tired of the f * cking bullshit. It's all a f * cking misconception. It's all a misconception.
“Like the entire declaration you simply made is definitely favorably not real. It's those kinds of f * cking declarations and those kind of quotes by the media that makes all this shit. All these battles are occurring, it takes a Saudi f * cking trillionaire. Every f * cking guy that attempts to do the boxing thing, they all wind up losing shit-loads of f * cking cash. The design does not work. A Saudi limitless quantity of cash appears which's what makes these battles take place, and even guys with that sort of cash get f * cking fed up with the bullshit.”
White likewise contested claims that Ngannou made more bank in his 2 boxing battles– the reported figure was around $30 million– than he was provided to extend his UFC offer– which was reported in the media as $8 million.
“I understand all the sh * t that you individuals do not understand, and I do not care what everyone states,” the UFC manager stated. “It does not matter to me. That's a truth. He was provided more cash, since I understand the genuine numbers.”
