How Dana White Made $2M into 16 BILLION DOLLARS with the UFC

[@brown_recidivist]

I've heard Dana tell this story 100 different times lol

[@michaelorr8190]

He was the Vince McMahon of combat sports.

[@sup9023]

Bruh why doesn’t andrew let akash speak, like bro he is the co host smh

[@B2twenty]

Bc he doesn’t take him all that serious lol it’s been like this since day 1 all OGs know

[@vader0073]

Lol this is Akash’s burner

[@soundwave803]

Its always interesting to see how these companies make money from nothing to something.

[@l3joint]

It's called fucking over other people, there's no skill involved.

[@MagnusGalactusOG]

He made the money by exploiting the fighters and monopolizing the sport.

[@marcusstanley96]

@@MagnusGalactusOG they could always not fight for the ufc?!

[@Roverde]

​@@MagnusGalactusOG Lol he did it by spotting an opportunity and having a clear vision. By your logic, Amazon, Disney, Tesla, etc are all exploiting employees lol. The guy on the sidelines is always the least relevant

[@TrollAlert-xv6qg]

@@MagnusGalactusOGno he didn’t

[@justinmiller8192]

He bet more on gambling than his fighter

Jealous losers hating on Dana.

Nahh hes just a cheap crook

I was looking for this comment lol I thought I was the only one

And we have the glizzy glazers who swallow danas 🥜

Underpaying fighters is a great way to save money!

[@drewdrewson1384]

14% of revenue in 2023!

[@marcusstanley96]

So don’t sign to fight for the ufc

[@t.merky.]

NBA players get 10% Learn da bizz-ness

[@sbakernyc5761]

​@@marcusstanley96it might take a while, and its gonna require a long term strategy with the understanding that there will be massive short term losses, but the PFL is gonna have a shot at being a legitimate competitor. BTW I truly can't understand how regular, working class people (I don't necessarily mean you, I don't know how rich you are/aren't), can spew that "then don't sign up then" line everytime fighter pay is mentioned. The UFC has fucked fighters over forever. Lol they make BILLIONS, yet the bonus has been $50knfor damn near 20 years. The Reebok and Venum deals have meant significantly less money for fighters despite bringing in $100s of millions to the company. Before the Reebok deal, preliminary card fighters were getting $30-50k for short sponsorships. Average fighters were getting close to $100k. Champions and popular contenders were getting well into the 6 figures. Today with the Venum deal, the highest paid are the champs at $40k. Guys with 11 UFC fights are only getting $11k. It's disgusting. Especially considering that guys making $11k today could have been getting $200k+ considering inflation and the fact the UFC is a lot more popular today then it was 10 yeaes ago

[@limitstates]

What does underpaying even mean, like is there a standard that they have to follow. I am sure that they are paid according to the revenue their fight helped to generate.

[@AlexZeBeast]

Respect for lockin' in on Dana's process and the timeline ✊

He was def about to say renig but caught him self haha

[@yew2oob954]

It's amazing how much money can be made when you don't pay your workers properly.

[@DA-lk5np]

His average employee makes ten time the national average. Brainwashing is real.

[@sbakernyc5761]

Lol remeber when Dana said he was done doing poscasts? Lol yeah that was loke 5 months and 10 podcasts ago

[@ognjenljuboja995]

That was a skit

[@pilotdude9833]

Home boy doesn’t understand the wealth of Frank and Lorenzo. Literally own a casino company. That’s the big part he’s missing when he doesn’t understand. Dana said they bought it but he didn’t put up any money. Hope that clears that up.

Great interview 🎉

Step one- do a deal with reebok

[@NewWokeMedia]

Broooo! My aunts husband gave me so many of those dvds when I was a kid. I wonder where they are rn 🤦‍♂️

[@jero3041]

He ain’t pay no one 😂lol 😅how he did it.

[@robperez5444]

JJ had lost 2 fights, 1st Gustafson and Reyes beat his ass for 3 rounds and was robbed. JJ was the greatest cheat who got caught using PEDs multiple times. JJ made his career fighting against smaller middleweights. He openly ducked Francis Ngannou then, and now he is openly ducking Aspinal to fight 50 yo Stipe. Nobody cares about that gimmick fight. According to Dana Powerslap is "the biggest sport ever."

[@AlyshaRobson-qe1ns]

By not paying fighters and creating a Monopoly

[@alexcontreras2797]

lol

[@oaktree1626]

Monoscopy

[@knickstape2559]

What monopoly? Anyone can create a fight league and they have

[@Roverde]

Its a monopoly because it is the best product. Not his fault other organizations cant fill a arena

[@lgs888]

lesson here: believe in something.

[@MagnusGalactusOG]

Do you believe that Power Slap has more followers than Real Madrid?

Dana is a great man and has done great things with the UFC, but he's always trashing boxing. he seems salty and jelous that boxing is and will always be the best fight sport ever!

[@Joggemx]

Tbh DW is an idealist.

Amazing story

[@jz2365]

Is he going to explain how he got the ufc every time he comes on this show lol Andrew acts like it’s his first time hearing it too

Yes they have

[@MagnusGalactusOG]

He did it by exploiting fighters and monopolizing MMA. The End.

[@marxtheidoloftheidle5591]

And now a greater amount of fighters can make a legitimate living than ever before in America instead of just a top few.

[@Trap_Mills]

You’re so soft and understand nothing

[@l3joint]

​@@Trap_Mills he's 💯 right tho

[@pedropt90]

Without him, you were viewing no ufc fights. But yes he should pay more now. Not back then

[@l3joint]

@pedrochavescosta never paid for one. Lol I was watching it whether Dana was owner or not.

[@ete6667]

Anyone else’s cringe at those guys who are nowhere near Dana’s intelligence and interrupting him speak?

[@MagnusGalactusOG]

Dana actually held back MMA a lot more than help it.
