Lol, it took so long because there was almost $100 mil on the line. Remind me what that biggest UfC purse was? Pretty sure my wife makes more than anyone has ever made in ufcrgambs said:

Yes the UFC and Dana White have maturity problems, but the UFC is a much better run sporting organisation.
It took a decade to get the 2 greatest boxers of a generation into the ring together, well after they had passed their primes. That is a travesty that would never occur in the UFC, and it is far greater a failure than any of Dana White's...so far.0 -
My wife literally makes more than UFC fighters hahahahahhaha0

You can make excuses and make light, but when a sports organisation can't get it's best competitors into action against each other for more than a decade, it is one poorly run piece of crap.Cliffy6745 said:

I know a low level boxing promoter, it is a very sheisty business, the UFC wouldn't be able to survive under that system, it would be going down the crapper like boxing has for the last 2 decades, I am surprised the big sponsors are still funneling money into it to keep it afloat. Nobody gives a shot about boxing anymore.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0

ha, that was some drunken rant from me, but I stick by it. Boxing has so many problems, but you can't black ball people for reporting.rgambs said:

bottom guys make tens of thousands per fight. your wife makes that much in one night? I'd be interested to know what she does for a living.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
Exactly. They are greedy crooks and the fight was complete shit.Cliffy6745 said:

And I prefer boxing over MMA by a wide margin.

Now Tate/Nunes is the main event. Good because they had it set up to have the main and co-main non title fights when there were other title fights on the card, which would have been SO odd.eeriepadave said:

UFC 200 is a perfect example of why I stopped following MMA religiously about 2 years ago. Fights are constantly changed, many of the fighters are ego maniacs and druggies, and Dana White lets his ego get in the way.
I want to love the sport again, but there are some things holding me back.

Didn't Dana white get Anderson Silva to fight Cormier? Still an intriguing fight.

Lesnar is a fucking animal. For him to come in like hat after not fighting for 5 years and beat a top 10 heavyweight is pretty amazing. Rest of the card was decent. Cormier fight was a snooze.0

UFC sold for $4 Billion. White still president, Lorenzo Fertitta is out as CEO, but both Fertitta brothers still hold minority stake in company, as does Dana.
the brothers bought it for $2 Million only 15 years ago. That's quite a return on investment.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

Good. White is such an asshole. Fighters get treated like complete garbage unless they are the top tier guys. Hopefully they all go on strike until the UFC recognizes this union. They probably should have done this leading up to UFC200....would have gotten a ton of press leading up to what they claimed was their biggest event ever.HughFreakingDillon said:

he is. I can't for the life of me understand how any owner can stomach how he speaks to/in the media, swearing at them, admonishing them; that wouldn't be tolerated in any other sports organization. he's a dick. how he was fat shaming and follower shaming people on twitter last year. it was disgusting.Indifference71 said:
