White says boxing won't be around much longer

Dana White says often as he is a fan of big boxing. So should pain him a little to comment on the future of sport. Prediction of the desolate is white.

"My honest opinion of boxing is that boxing will go away," White said the ESPNRadio Ryen Russillo. "I wouldn't want any ill will.It's not because sport is not good, or something like that, it's just that is so fragmented, and be successful so many bad things. nobody is going to stick their hand in their pocket and spend their money to save the sport of boxing, nobody is going to do it. "

He stresses the greed over the past 25 years.

"Did your sport can be saved," said White. "Once everything has gone to a model of pay, boxing stopped producing good fights for free. Once this model ended the market starts to decrease when you're just in pay-per-view ".

And it doesn't help that boxing is now at a point where it can't even offer quality PPV fights 8-12 times a year.

"The best example is now how long have fight fans wanted to see Mayweather (Floyd) versus Pacquiao (Manny)? forever man.That is the fight that I want to see, "said White."And isn't happening. these guys are always offered crazy amounts of cash and cannot be reflected only the fight ".

White, speaking before the latest round of negotiations Mayweather-Pacquiao products zilch, stressed how difficult the boxing to compete with his product.

"Before this Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happens … lets say a miracle happens and they get this thing done this week – the struggle will be probably sometime in November, right?You have done ten fights, and, I don't know, perhaps out of ten struggles, that four of them will be in free TV. "

Make sure that closer to 16 fighting with six or seven cards free now that soon we will see Pacman-Mayweather May of 2011.

Russillo pulled a stunt Nice at the end of the interview, when asked if he knew the white by David Haye. Haye-de is one of the unique possibility of heavyweight division of boxing has to regain some audience. Brit is a 224-pounder qualified that you'll be able to offer big numbers with the black mouth and is enough to make a fight against both Klitscko brother somewhat intriguing. White said that he wasn't really aware of Haye-du. That is a casual boxing fans saying that it's not a good sign.
