Dana White Mocks The ‘Stupid’ People Who Bought Mayweather vs. Paul

Dana WhiteDana White didn’t hold back when accessing Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul and the people stupid enough to pay $50 to watch it on Showtime pay-per-view. “That wasn’t a f*cking boxing match,” White told UFC Arabia on Monday. “Like I said before, there’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff.

Dana White didn’t hold back when accessing Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul and the people stupid enough to pay $50 to watch it on Showtime pay-per-view.

“That wasn’t a f*cking boxing match,” White told UFC Arabia on Monday. “Like I said before, there’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff. There’s always going to be people that are willing to put down $50 to watch that kind of stuff. That’s so far away [from what we do].

“Think about this — imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. How big do you think that fight would be? It would be huge. It would be the biggest [event] but give me a f*cking break.”

Mayweather failed to stop the 0-1 internet celebrity despite having eight rounds to do so. Paul was able to use his natural advantages to survive against arguably the greatest boxer of all time in what proved to be a dull affair.

White thinks this fight like many in boxing failed to deliver on the hype.

“It’s exactly what boxing has always been,” White said. “You create this energy around a fight where you’re like ‘oh this [is exciting]’ and then you watch it and then you turn the TV off and go ‘I just wasted another evening, I should have went out and did something else.’ I don’t ever want people feeling like that when they turn the TV off watching some of our fights.

“You’re going to have the fans, you’ll have a card one night and they’ll be like ‘this card, blah, blah, blah.’ Then you watch the card and the card is unbelievable. You get at least two, three or four great fights that probably didn’t expect. Then when you turn the TV off, you’re glad you watched it. That’s the product that I sell. That’s what I’m into.”

The UFC boss doesn’t begrudge Mayweather or Paul for putting on the fight and making a ton of cash. In his opinion anyone stupid enough to buy into the bout deserves to lose their money.

“I’m not trying to sh*t on these other guys,” White said. “Listen, if you’ve got people that are stupid enough to spend that kind of money, you deserve to take those dummies’ money. They deserve it.

“The guys who went out and fought and got you to pay $50, they deserve your money. You’re stupid.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Do you agree with Dana White? Are the people who paid $50 to watch Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul stupid?

The boxing match turned entertainment fiasco between Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul concluded on June 6th, 2021, going the distance and leaving the greater public with varying thoughts. Mayweather, 50-0 professionally and renowned boxing great, poured it on Paul, social media mogul, late after a per usual slow yet methodical start. Nevertheless, an event of this magnitude will leave people with a staunch view point.

Some people were disgusted with the event and believed it hindered the integrity of boxing.

Others, however, believed the event introduced a new generation of fresh eyes to boxing, giving the sport a much needed face lift. Behind this sentiment is one of the most idolized voices in combat sports; Joe Rogan.

Rogan’s Thoughts

Rogan went on Instagram to voice his appreciation for the fight and event as a whole. Rogan said, “First off, I have to say I was really surprised at how much I was looking forward to this fight. Right before the bell rang for the opening round, I was legitimately giddy with excitement. I think the whole thing is pretty fascinating.”

He was not just fascinated with the boxing match, he also voiced his pleasure of perennial boxing great Floyd Mayweather. “Floyd Mayweather is a genius in more ways than one. He is arguably the greatest boxer of all time, and in the twilight of his career, he has managed to make hundreds of millions of dollars fighting people who really do not have a chance to beat him. He has figured out a way to compete into his 40s and make more money than any other boxer alive.”

Rogan did not stop there, though. He went on to give personal dues to the other half of the main event, Logan Paul. “And for Logan Paul going 8 hard rounds with a superb multi-division world champion like Floyd is pretty incredible. He survived and he even managed to land a few punches.”

This match did not only warrant the eyeballs and respect of Rogan, but other respected people in the industry like mixed martial arts super coach Duke Roufus and top five UFC middleweight Derek Brunson.
