Dana White’s Been On The “Boxing Is Broken” Tour Longer Than Half The Fighters’ Careers. Every Few Years He Pops Up He’ll Save The Sweet Science, Then Ducks Out Because, in His Words, It’s “It’s too Broken.” Now He’s Back With Netflix Money, Turki AlaLShikh’s Backing, and The Same Sermon: Only he Can Save Boxing.

This Weekend He’s Hitching His Name to Canelo vs Crawford, TELLING VEGAS PBS, “Basically, in 2026, I’m Going To Start My Show, and What I’m Going To Do Is Basically The Contender Series. The Best Will Fight The Best, Undefeated Guys Will Fight Undefeated Guys.” Great, Dana. Because When Two 5-0 Prospects Meet, The World Definitely Spinning Stops.

“You Will Care About The First Fight Of The Night” – Oh Will We?

He Added, “I Will Build Stars, Put Great Fights, And Then Those Guys Will Graduate and Fight With Sheik Turkey.” Translation: Dana Does The Babysitting, The Turki Cashes Checks. Imagine Flexing About Being Sommelopment League.

“This is a busted sport” – But he’s got the glue

White Said, “There’s No ego or Arrogance When I Talk About Getting Into Boxing And Trying To ‘Fix It.’ This is a busted sport. “ WHICH IS HILARIOUS, BECAUSE Nothing Screams “No ego” Like Comparing Yourself to the NFL and NBA Every Five Minutes. “What We did with The UFC is TURN THE UFC INTO AN NBL,” He bragged.

The Only Hiccup? That pesky muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act – The Law That Stops Promoters Owning The Whole Circus. White’s Crew Tried Pushing The “Ali Revival Act” To Gut It, But The California State Athletic Commission Pulled Support After Public Outrage. So now dana’s nfl dream is being Held Hostage by The Same Law That Protects Boxers From Being Treated Like UFC Fighters. Karma’s undefeated.

Dana vs. Hearn and Warren: Future Comedy Hour

White Softened HIS TONE (FOR NOW): “Eddie Hearn is a great promoter. Translation: He hasn’t starting Burying Them Yet. Give it a year Before He calls Eddie “A tiktok Salesman” and Warren “a fossil.”

And Yes, He Claims, “Right Now We Probably Have Between 60 And 70 Fighters Contract.” That’s not the nfl of Boxing, Dana. That’s a regional promoter with a Mid-Life Crisis.

Final Word
