Dana White Responds to Scott Coker: "Calling Yourself Bob Arum Is a Joke"

[MindSpin]

"He [expletive] wishes he was Bob Arum. Are you [expletive] me? Bob Arum put on some of the biggest fights in boxing history, and Bob is actually successful and made money. For you to compare yourself to [expletive] Bob Arum is hysterical. You can call me Don King or whatever you want. But calling yourself Bob Arum is a [expletive] joke."

"Bob Arum has put on some of the biggest fights in history, and he's been incredibly successful. [Coker] has done neither."

"We couldn't care less (what they're doing). But we don't want them to blow their brains out and go away. We need these guys to exist. Listen, whether they want to believe it or not, they're the small show. They're a feeder show. Whether they want to believe it, that's what they are. We need them. When you're a tiny little feeder show and hanging on by the skin of your teeth, and you compare yourself to Bob Arum, are you kidding me? What a [expletive] joke."

I think Dana would have been better served if he just went on record as saying "no comment"..

sometimes overextending yourself the way he did in that quote makes you sound too errogant and that's what a lot of Dana's detractors use against him...

Coker knows he's playing second fiddle as far as promotions go,but he just got inside Dana's head a little.

  Dana is just upset over how Jerry Millen made he feel when PRIDE was still around. Lol...the UFC was so small compared to PRIDE that they barely acknowledged the UFC's existence.

  PRIDE's demise had nothing to do with it's quality. Most people who watched both PRIDE and the UFC regard the former as better. PRIDE went under because they spent too much money on production and fighters' salaries and couldn't promote the show outside Japan to get enough viewers to watch it and pay the costs. Then, the Yakuza scandal weakened it further and sponsors left leaving PRIDE broke. You are just an UFC guy like MindSpin.

UFC > Pride

UFC > Pride

  Even Dana White admits PRIDE had the best heavyweight and light-heavyweight division in the World back in the day. Ouch! Not surprising, given that Nogueira was good enough to win the UFC heavyweight belt and yet he had his PRIDE belt taken away from him by Fedor in PRIDE, that Mr.UFC poster boy Chuck Liddel got his ass kicked by Rampage in front of 50,000 people and that the current UFC light-heavyweight and middle-weight champions are both PRIDE guys.

  PRIDE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. UFC

  MINDSPIN = OWNED!!!!!!!

  Strikeforce = new PRIDE(at least as far as heavyweight goes. They have Fedor, Overeem and possibly Barnett)

I'd be amazed if anyone in the states takes another chance with Josh...

  Then why did PRIDE had crowds of 50,000 people in attendance compared to the UFC's pathetic 5,000? Why was PRIDE known in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the U.S, whilst the UFC is only watched in the U.S, Canada and Britain? Whhy did a recent poll in Sherdog indicate that 90% of MMA regarded PRIDE as better than the UFC?

  Face it, moron: PRIDE's demisse had nothing to do with it having poor quality. It was a better show according to most people by all definitions. PRIDE just couldn't market itself as well as the UFC to pay the huge salaries and productions cost it had. Then, it's Yakuza's ties were found out by the public and sponsors abandoned it and it went bankrupt. For the last fucking time.......

  PRIDE'S DEMISSE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING INFERIOR TO THE UFC AS AN MMA PROMOTION, IDIOT. IT WAS ACTUALLY THE BEST PROMOTION IN THE HISTORY OF MMA.

  What did I make up? The UFC is only watched mostly in the Anglosphere. Very few people in continental Europe, Latin America and East Asia watch the UFC. The UFC might have more total viewers than PRIDE had, but they are all mostly in the U.S, whilst PRIDE was watched throughout the entire World. What have I made up?
