- "For me, that would be great...if Dana White started promoting boxing, it would be terrific...it's not an old man's sport...our demographics are young...a lot of kids don't have premium television...when we have a level playing field, we beat the pants off of them...White...he's a piece of crap," stated Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who shared his thoughts on why Dana White and the UFC getting involved in boxing. Check it out!
Boxing has an interesting event like once every 6 months. MMA has the top fighters fighting eachother on a monthly basis.
However MMA has far fewer people involved it is a smaller sport so therefore.much easier to get top guys against each other as DANA owns it all. In boxing you have a sport 200 years old and millions of contenders. MMA is great but boxing is bigger. Ask a mexican if they would want a title.in boxing or MMA. Love MMA but doesnt and shouldnt compete with boxing. Yes MMA is an incredible skill but you cant fight as regularly or aslong as a boxer at the top the wear.on body is too great.
@@Padoshee mma is definitely bigger than boxing today. The average ufc event pulls way bigger numbers than the average boxing event. Boxing only has 1 or 2 big fights each year while mma has tons of big fights. Boxing may be bigger in Mexico but mma is bigger in Canada, Brazil, Dubai, Ireland, Russia, China etc. there’s a reason why people are discussing if “boxing is dead” because it’s on the downhill. Boxing is looking to maintain while is mma is increasing
@@brokeboiacey5674 agree but there are ten times more boxing events world wide than MMA
@@Padoshee sure but you can’t deny mma is bigger right now. Ufc also have bigger stars than boxing. We have guys like Conor, khabib, Jorge masvidal, Izzy, Jon jones and Nate Diaz. Boxing only has AJ, Garcia, canelo and maybe fury which doesn’t add up cuz he couldn’t pull of a 1 million dollar gate which is embarrassing.
@@Padoshee No excuse for this 200 year old sport not to give fans what they want and deserve in terms of seeing the fights that should be logical to anyone. Instead, you get top boxers padding their records against other boxers they know they're going to kill and not taking the actual competitive fights that fans would be more into.... name me some top boxing fights in the last few years where the gambling odds were tight and even? Name me some pick'em fights? Very few and far because everyone wants to keep that undefeated career and take the easier fight. No reason for promoters, fighers to not get together and work something out.

Serious question: Can anyone name a fight from the May/Mac undercard that they really enjoyed watching?
the tank davis fight, badou jack fight. im an mma fan and boxing fan but maymac had good fights
Badou Jack was a really good fight
Badou Jack vs Cleverly was a sick fight!!!!!!
Same can be said about countless mma cards.
zeek are you insinuating that boxing has better undercards than the ufc? You are joking right?!
Bob said premium TV is 15 dollars a month🤣🤣🤣
this dude sounds like stan lee
Mugen they're both jews
@@Lalo_thr they are from Brooklyn and their yiddish roots
Bob is right on point.. Dana was a hypocrite and always hated on boxing but, now wants to promote boxing lmao gtfoh Bob telling it like it is..
What the fuck are you talking about? He always says how much he loves boxing, he doesnt hate on boxing.
J Jita Dana don't hate boxing u lot are misinformed he loves boxing
King Me numbers don't lie???? lol uneducated fans!!! Take a look to mmapayout.com then you will see belator ufc compare to boxing viewership. Just take a look. They make some articles about that.
J Jita what r u talkin about dana has allways been a die hard boxing guy n started in boxing get your facts straight
Dana always said he is massive boxing fan...More money in boxing but boxing is on the decline and ufc is booming...Ufc is like 20 years old....Boxing need more stars....AJ is the only global superstar......Canelo -alverez-lomenchemcko should be mega stars but obviously they have the language barrier unfortunately
He speaks very, very well for a dinosaur!
Jokes on him. UFC is thriving in the pandemic.
So is boxing and I like both sports, the Lopez vs Loma fight was great
@@brotherlygaming1520 Name another card other than that. UFC has had events all year.
UFC has good fights every week...boxing has a good main event match every 6 months,,, but with a weak undercard... UFC has clearly been the most dominant and entertaining fight promotion..
not for a casual
The top 10 most ppv are in boxing lol
If ufc so great and it's better than boxing then how come none of the guys get paid enough lol
Yeah, imagine allowing a 'piece of crap' into a sport that's noble enough to let Don King milk it dry for over 50 years and keep kicking his boxers into the gutter after he's fleeced them and the TV box office..
Dana whites doing that now
“He’s got a UFC that’s cratering”
If it wasn’t for the Conor mecregor vs mayweather fight boxing would be dead period! Ufc def brought boxing back to life!
Wut? Only 4 out of the top 15 ppvs are ufc. And 3 out of 4 are Connor. Ufc is dead. Everybody wants to box, even Connor did. You’re a real dummy
@@philchickenfingers1190 okay coming from the peanut gallery you troll! Just go back to your hole with all your other troll friends and talk to them I’m sure they actually give a fuk! Bye bye 👋 now 😂
UFC is dying
Fighters are getting underpaid, they have to go to boxing to make the money they deserve
McGregor going to boxing and makes his biggest pay day because ufc don’t him what he deserves
Frank Mir, Rampage Jackson have to create a triad platform as ufc is dying
Chuck Liddell and Ortiz make the biggest pay day in boxing
Face it People want to see the better punches knocking people out
When fighters are on the ground it gets boring With the exception of kabib
@@fedtartexterminator3851 🤣🤣🤣🤣 did you say ufc is declining hahhaha that's hella funny and chuck getting paid more for that fight is also even more laughable the truth is chuck got paid more on his last ufc fight then that last one ur talking about and ufc still big boxing gets boring also the ground game requires skill same with the sweet science 😂😂😂
@@fedtartexterminator3851 frank mir and rampage are not creating anything but still fight
Just when u thought Bob was giving props to Dana lol Can always rely on the Bobfather
Ufc plus bellator and all the other mma promotions do way more show than boxing because the demand is there for mma. UFC has a totally different business model than boxing. Boxing puts one big fight on the card and if a fighter falls through they just cancel the whole card. UFC stacks cards to keep the show going. Bob arum alone could never put as many shows as the ufc alone can
I'm a girl, young and also watch Boxing.
Emanuel Pereira stfu u lil scumbag

We'll said Bob
mma ate boxing. I only buy like 4 boxing PPVs a year vs my monthly PPV for MMA.
"UFC is cratering and he needs boxing to save himself" i guess its dementia
He’s insanely out of touch with reality 😂
BOXING IS DEAD!
Lmao anytime Fury, Crawford, Canelo, Joshua fight every fight fan tunes in quit it with this "boxings dead" bullshit if it was dead McGregor wouldn't have made more money in 1 boxing match than he's made in his entire MMA career.
Boxing didnt give McGregor that kind money, Floyd did. People didn't just watch that PPV for boxing, they wanted to see Floyd box an MMA fighter. Thats why people tuned in, calm down with your BS.
Boxing has lost to the UFC. I love boxing but I love the UFC way more. For all of those people who are going to argue and say that UFC fighters roll around on the mat and it's boring I want you to know that you think it's boring because you don't understand it. Give it a chance and learn about it and you might be impressed. I'm not here to down boxing because boxing is awesome and without it the UFC wouldn't have evolved like it has without boxing and many other forms of combat or martial arts. UFC fans are usually boxing fans too but it seems like this new generation of UFC fans aren't boxing fans because their isn't much to be a fan of. This is just my opinion and it doesn't make me right or wrong. I'd love to see boxing thrive again and produce warriors like the UFC and like boxing used to like Ali, Frazier, Dempsey, Tyson, and other real fighters. Mayweather was good but boring, he coasts through by winning matches by points and rounds. Boxing fans want to see knockouts. The old generation of boxing fans liked and understood that style of boxing but this new generation wants to see Gladiators that brawl and fight like Mike Tyson did. Nobody scares their opponents in boxing like Tyson did, he won before he even got in the ring with intimidating them and people loved that. Boxing needs UFC style fights where they fight like Roman Gladiators, like Jack Dempsey and other warriors. It's like Mayweather is all about money and so are other boxers. 👊
LMAOOOOOOOOOO PPV Numbers prove you wrong but ok
He’s very delusional
Sure ufc are smashing boxing on numbers
Boxing is mad boring and stale in most regards. I haven't heard of a major boxing event since mcgregor and floyd lol.
Bob has like 200 year old mentality he should go and retire off to the sunset somewhere
Boxing👍 UFC👎
Lucas 777 both 👍🏾👍🏾
BOXING 👍 ufc 👎 that's right .
Lucas 777 boxing sucks
Why do you have to pick a team? Why can't you enjoy both?
Lucas 777 i think cuz in reality we like to fight thats why were fans/enthusiast so we gotta pick a side lol maybe idk
Put boxers in the UFC not the other way around and see how they go
Ray Marca vs Tim Silva.
Canelo will smoke all ufc fighters
Not to mention prime Mike Tyson
@@codingmafia1642 in boxing, absolutely. Mma? Not a chance
@@codingmafia1642
How do you think Canelo would have done against the legendary Benny "The Jet" Urquidez? Style vs Style. No clinching and no wrestling. Pure striking and with both fighters bringing to the table what they use to fight. Also non of this crap where a Boxer wants a Martial Arts fighter to only Box them.
@@codingmafia1642 ur one of the guys that only know who canelo and ggg are
😂 “ufc thats cratering”
Its true though.... Dana still tries to go into different forms of entertainment. Five years ago he has announced that he's kicking off a boxing promotion.... Nothing has happened so far.
Dana has been trying to get into boxing forever, even back in the 90s when he used to be an aerobic instructor for women in Las Vegas.
As a matter of fact Dana used to be one of those people who kept saying how terrible MMA is.
But to go into that slapping contest bullcrap is beyond embarrassing even for a guy like Dana.
For something who has taken the UFC so far to make such an move... that tells you everything about his mentality.
Just recently he posted a video where he invited Tyson Fury to fight Jon Jones in the UFC.
Obviously Fury isn't so stupid to take on that offer, because boxing is his bread and butter. He made $25 million by fighting a washed up second tier contender in Chisora last December.
Jon Jones made $3 million by fighting Gane for the UFC heavyweight championship.
White is gambling, hoping that Fury really is that stupid.
Arum is an old man and if he gets mad he cusses 😆
So delusional. You can count on one hand how many boxers people give a shit about. Those select boxers, will get big numbers. UFC has far far more superstars.
He and the boxing elite are jokes
Bob is a fool while the ufc is doing great with no crowd bob is putting the division is on hold cause crowd so if crowds are allowed at 2022 joek
Canelo set an indoor record during covid dummy
This didn't age well. The biggest star in boxing, Canelo, had his fight delayed to allow a fight for a made up title, contested between 2 of the UFC's fighters who are considered "journeymen" by a lot of fans, to take place.
"UFC...cratering". LOL.
That was really disrespetfull to canelo and kovalev, if i would be canelo i would be so angry that i would delete fight.
Bob arum acts like he discover boxing on free television when PBC brought it back.
Oh lawwwd! Can't we all just get along, lol! Combat sports, be it boxing or mma, is so full of drama and haters! Promoters talk so much shit about each other and have to swallow all their words when it's time to work together in order to match their fighters against one another. They try to hold out as long as they can (see Mayweather Pacquiao) but eventually they have to cave. The industry would be so much better if they just all worked together instead of being at each other's throats. Kinda' like residential real estate!!
The May/Mac card was kinda weak ngl
I'll tell you what's old and old people watch. Baseball...
Wasn't this guy used to talk shit about Al Doing free fights?.
Bob holding no punches at his old age .
yes
Bob Erin does Not like the fact that UFC fighters don’t need promoters
Young ppl nowdays not watch boxing? Seriously?? This is def no.1 bulls**t
How old is arum. What an insporation to still be doing it !!
he said not alot of people cant afford $15/month of cable tv...LMAO
I don't like Dana as a promoter, but let's be honest, he runs circles around Arum. I'm a fan of boxing before MMA, and I don't think boxing is dying - but Bob Arum certainly isn't helping.
Yeah, he looks really nice to me, but he is bad for boxing
this is aging greatly because now the most famous boxer is a youtuber and he is fighting old mma fighters that have no money because of Dana Whites cheap ass.
🤣❤ great interview by Bob arum
If today was anything to go by UFC wins hands down, that Loma Rigo fight card was piss from top to bottom. Freddie Roach said it himself. The UFC put on better shows, on a good night there could be 5 entertaining fights to Boxings 1 maybe 2 if ur lucky. Also do you notice its always Boxing talking down UFC and not the other way around.. makes you wonder.
Jorge Mataafa He’s not “talking down” he’s just stating factual information. Funny how the guys that only watch ufc take facts emotionally. Makes me wonder
I love boxing and recently enjoy watching UFC but boxing is my first passion, only downside with boxing is the politics and soo many belts, Tv rights and governing bodies, unlike UFC we don't see the best fight the best, look at the heavyweight division..Dana white never said he didn't like boxing, in fact he's a massive fan and his favourite boxer and friend is Mike Tyson
Boxing is the sport of KINGS!
fair playing field is loma the best boxer alive vs cub swanson on a ufc fight night?
bob arum is talking shit, ufc has been seriously building its name for about 10 years and they have done good so far i think if Dana plays his cards well in about another 10 years it surpass boxing. And the main reason is that mma is superior to boxing. im not buying none of the crap they say about conor v floyd because that will only ever be settled when floyd steps in the octagon we all knew what that fight was about and it was money.
Is Bob really comparing Loma/Rigo vs Swanson/Ortega , and coming to this conclusion??
Bob Arum = Thug Life
He is pretty delusional......
**FIGHTERS NEED TO LEAVE TOP RANK**
Bob is becoming very critical and bitter recently, he must now realise that fury was a bad bet
its all ufc nowdays boxing is boring
Compared to MMA - boxing is shit. Deal with it. Still enjoy boxing though.
Kids are watching UFC, sorry to burst your bubble, with your old man mind. You won't see this comment, probably don't even know what RUclips is. Boxing is old news. I still love it, but it doesn't have a good fight but once every 6mo/year.
Bob Arum vs Dana White make it happen plz!
boxing>mma any fuckin' day
Bob arum is so out of touch
Not really. I'm a fan of both but what he is saying has some truth to it... the media distribution makes it difficult to compare.. the richest fights in combat sports history are all boxing matches... who is buying those ppv? old ppl?
@PassionOfLifee you need to learn to read. i didn't say: "in recent years". I said "of all time". you are so quick to try and show how smart you are you actually showed you can't read or don' t understand the worlds you read. of ALL TIME.
@PassionOfLifee you replied to my comment and then said i should google. which implies you think my comment it wrong. plz stfu you little brain isn't ready.
@PassionOfLifee lol that's exactly the comment i expect when a very very dumb person loses a debate. grrr you so mad lol. Logic ALWAYS wins. big dummy lol
Can you name a match this month that real fight no boxing is a circus show now
He clearly stated black fighters dont sell so they cheated wilder sad top rank rip
Dana just a money maker that's that he never hated boxing
I thought cable TV you have to pay for he can pay for my Comcast bill.
who is here after white outburst about hypocritical bob arun
this video didn’t age well lol
I love how this guy thinks a Mckenzie Dern main event is even terms with the biggest fight in hsitory ahha
Ufc fighters pay is trash. The most Mcgreggor ever made on a ufc ppv was 2million . While guys like dana white make tens of millions.. Its fucked.. Boxing has much more class
Actually Conor made nearly $20 million for his 2nd fight against Diaz. You have to add up the purse, ppv cut and promotional pay.
Count Yorga like i said fighters pay..
Boxing has a few fights a year worth watching
BOXING NOW AND BOXING FOREVER!!!!
There is money in boxing only if u are a champion. If you are not a champion you aint making jack shit! A ufc athlete who is just signed gets at least a 10k per fight + 10k win bonus+ he might get a bonus if he kos or submits somebody. I think dana is aiming to sign champions and talents they have the capital but dont get it wrong in boxing you have to be 20-0 have a belt and then you are making some real money
Sorry, mate but you dont need belt to make real money, if you are entertaining with good amateur carreer, you will still make great money. You need 20-0 and belt only when you are from small country like bulgaria or austria or when you arent so interesting.
Boxing is boring. It will die with or without Dana.
No, boxing will never die, look at ryan garcia, naoya inoue or canelo alvarez.
Why can't you like them both 🤔
That’s crazy you can only like one thing
Not that its Arums fault to an extent maybe is but Boxing is soo corrupt. Just about everyone and everything in boxing minus the fighters are corrupt. Soo many terribly incorrect called fights, the judges, the different belts, all the ducking, all the promoters. Soo hard for the best fighters to get a fight and match each other.
UGC ok the other hand makes amazing fights. Ofcorse anythng can happen to anyone at any night. But by far UFC is ahead of Boxing
No one can argue that boxing is definitely making a come back, while the UFC is stumbling trying to maintain interest. Dana White is gonna go down with his SLAP league as the worst thing to ever happen in broad cast sports
I've read several comments. About how the UFC is a growing company??? and MMA is still growing??? It's been YEARS and YEARS since UFC was on TV. like over 10 now! UFC doesn't have it's huge star power it had in Tito and chuck and Randy and so on and so forth. Hughs Slivia hell when they got Cro cop they thought they were onto something. UFC to me when it hit 2015 it stumped it's growth OUTSIDE of Connor Mcgregor NOW WHERE IS HE!??!?!. The biggest fight in our LIFE time is on the rise in Boxing. Joshua vs Wilder. it's going to be HUGEEE i'm telling ya'll!!!
I think Jon Jones vs Izzy is more like the fight of our lives, quit living in the past bro today's fighters would've smashed yesterday's fighters and my favorite fighters were Matt Hughes and Dan Henderson.
The sweet science vs a well rounded fighter
Master of one beats Jack of all trades, master of none.
PassionOfLifee No it works. You just have to be good. On concrete it works.
PassionOfLifee Nope. Most fights begin and end with punches. I’m talking about street fights not MMA.
PassionOfLifee Yeah, but kicks , knees and grappling won’t help in a real fight. It’s all about punches mostly and boxers punch faster and harder with better technique that nearly all mma fighters so. Why can’t a boxer just knock them out before the mma guys chance to do anything.
PassionOfLifee If you use kicks and you loose your balance and fall on the floor. You might be screwed. If you wrestle somebody down you may bruise yourself on the concrete.
Dana don't need boxing to save him self one bit but without Conor UFC doesn't make enough money to pay there bills. UFC is still in major dept and Conor was the only person keeping there payments afloat but now Connor been out for over a year there cash hasn't been to great at paying that huge dept (hench the reason they brought GSP back for that bullshit title fight) Conor is there only big cash cow but now Conor looking at the real deal when it comes to big money. UFC is a horrible business.
UFC doesn't need Conor, they have new stars all the time, look at Ngannou, he has the strongest punch in the world, stronger than any boxer and he chose to go into MMA instead of boxing, now he's a knockout artist and the next best thing. Those idiots who bought UFC paid way too much but in the long run it'll be worth it for them. Don't worry Conor will be back soon when he starts running out of money and starts yearning for the limelight again.
Count Yorga how many PPV buys did Francis do against overeem? In UFC it's not about who's the best fighter it's about who's the best character that's why goons like Conor do such high PPV buys and by the way Francis has the hardest punch recorded. Not the hardest punch in the world. How many boxers/mma fighters actually go to these tests and get here punch recorded lol not that many. Francis is a top heavy weight but he won't do huge PPV's unless he's fighting someone like brock lesnar and even then it won't be close to what people like Conor can do.
Fuck ufc and conor and im a mma fan. So sick of ufc and conor mctappy

Dana white going to put this old grandpa out of business
This guy is crazy.. Dana white is the best promoter and would do 1,000 times better than Bob arum is doing..
Iam huge boxing fan and i really dont like Danna but you are right
2 different sports, what is it with you people?
The only difference is how much athletes are paid, and Dana has everything to do with that. I’d rather be a successful boxer than a successful mma fighter any day. My love is for boxing but i enjoy mma big time, for different reasons. There’s a lot of bs i don’t like in boxing, it’s way too political and the best don’t fight the bes like they do in mma… at least more so. Also i have mo idea what the difference in revenue is these two sports.
Bob Arum is an old fart who's about to fall over and die. Doesn't he realize that a large demographics of people who watch boxing also watch MMA ?
Boxing will always be better then MMA...
Boxing is corrupt to the core, all the bullshit decisions are hurting boxing.
I really love boxing, but stop comparing, both sports are awesome
@@mistergeopolitics4456 Agree, everytime i see some decision iam really nervous because of this.
Boxing is a joke. Learn to fight. What a joke
His Better minded then joke Biden.
Dana white wants more of that money he finally found in boxing lol
Mma is so dead. Dad finally over. DAna white is smart though he knew Floyd would expose mma for the joke it is
Conor went 10 rounds with "The best of all time" in his first boxing match. Could Floyd last 1 minute in the UFC ? LOL I think not
he went against MONEY MAYWEATHER a 40 year old brittle hands coming off a 2 year retirement. Now if he would of fought PRETTY BOY FLOYD(a prime agressive mayweather) man conor would probably be brain dead.
Count Yorga Floyd carried him for 9 rounds. MMA is mostly for failed boxers. I really wish a pro boxer stepped in an octagon I guarantee they would expose any of the current ufc champs bar maybe Holloway and Khabib
