Dana White says he has no problem seeing boxing’s longtime rivals work together, even joking that he enjoys watching the game’s changing alliances.
“All these guys that hated one another six months ago are all buddies and on the identical network and attempting to work together. I adore it,” said Dana at Sunday’s press conference.
White made the remark while responding to an issue concerning the recent cooperation between rival promoters, organizations, and broadcast partners. Earlier within the press conference, he said he had no personal issues with Eddie Hearn and would don’t have any problem meeting him if asked, but added that Zuffa Boxing would proceed competing for fighters and major events no matter any discussions.
The comments got here after several questions on a proposed “peace summit” involving White, Hearn, and Turki Alalshikh. White said he had not previously heard concerning the idea, but made it clear he has no issue sitting down with rival promoters if the chance arises.
The growing cooperation across boxing has turn out to be certainly one of the game’s biggest talking points in recent months. Longtime rivals have increasingly worked together on major events and broadcast agreements, a noticeable shift from the fragmented business model that defined the game for years.
Dana has repeatedly insisted Zuffa Boxing intends to compete fairly than cooperate with established promoters. Saturday’s comments continued that message while highlighting his amusement at seeing familiar rivals turn out to be more willing to work together as the game’s business landscape continues to evolve.
