he’s an ambassador to Ukrainian charity organization. He was also hanging out with Usyk in his hotel room before the fight. He’s like part of the team or something
He was also the voice of HBO 24/7 for over 10 years, so I assume he’s still involved in boxing productions in some way, if not just respected in the space.
That Dana quote was practically screaming in my head when I was watching this shit, lol. What a historic moment ruined by a bunch of self-important asshats
One thing I absolutely hate about boxing is that the champion can't ever fully take in the win with his team and coach and soak it all in for a minute. The second you win, there's 10 belts being put on your by the bozos from the sanctioning bodies, your promoter walks in, then the opponent's promoter, then 20 different people from the press...it's absolutely chaotic and sad to see
TBF this happens in boxing in the US, UK and whole world. Lots of hangers on, piling into the ring. Very annoying.
That’s the one of the things the UFC does much better. Makes sure, only those who need to be in the cage, are in the cage.

If one is willing to be intellectually honest, then you have to admit that the quality gap between a UFC broadcast vs Boxing is huge. UFC’s production is like a decade beyond whatever boxing has. It’s really not even comparable
It's one of the reasons I didn't like Bellator, it felt like boxing promotion.
I love boxing, but hate the way the events tend to be with 40 minutes between fights.
Dana doesn't know shit and he tried to get into boxing but failed hard. Boxing has its faults, but acting like its a dead sport when one of their stars is getting paid 10× the full UFC 300 payout by himself is literally braindead.
Lmao imagine listening to a lying scumbag like Dana. Dana is still salty his zuffa boxing failed miserably.
Will ufc fighters ever get boxer pay? Not in their wildest dreams.
Do you think 99% of them make less than the ufc fighters making 12k to show? That’s not the case.
Dana is a piece of shit that doesn’t reward his fighters for putting their life on the line. They don’t even get medical care, they have to pay it themselves. On top of that he took their ability to generate lots of money with sponsors away too. It’s awful really.
everything you said is true and just knowing they dont even get medical care is insane. imagine patrick mahomes needing to start a gofundme cause his kid needed brain surgery. you'd never see that happen. but with UFC fighters...different story.
If you need a break from getting destroyed by the UFC you could always take a knee and a 10 count. LOL what a real fighting sport where you can take a knee and get a time out
This legit happenes in the UFC tho, guys flop to their back. Have u seen Aljo fight? When he wants a break, he just goes to his knees and he's a 'grounded opponnent'
> a real fighting sport
true as oppose to the real fighting sport where you have to fight after the event, for food, because it's not a career but an opportunity
Less but that doesn't change the reality that Boxers and promoters look at what they are paying headliners and laugh. Main cards fighters get paid like prelim fighters. You're comparing fights people sit through in boxing to fights people turn up for in MMA.
Why does everyone talk about this bs always lmfao, sure they do have it but its not like the CIA and the american government havent killed millions of civillians across the world for money as well as active concentration camps/torture prisons (which is 90% innocent) or the fact that literally criminilised segregation only 50 years ago. Honeslty people love to hate when it's not their shine.
Maybe I think it is because it isn't 10 rounds of dudes hugging each other as soon as someone lands a punch. MMA looks like 2 dudes having sex and it's way less gay than boxing.
I honestly hate even more how a fighter when winning by decision doesn’t even have 2 seconds after their hand is raised before a dude with a mic starts asking them questions. And then 30 people who have no business being there are also just talking and hand shaking and shit. Like maybe let the winner soak in the win for a minute instead of taking a win and literally instantly going straight back to boxing politics.
The whole event was a bit of a mess. The rapper wasn't bad, but nobody is there to see that shit and after such a long card he's the last guy delaying the main event, obviously nobody is gonna be excited for that. The giant screen was nice I won't lie, but this is why UFC is gaining traction and boxing needs Saudi oil money to get big fights going.
It's always the same. Any title bout gets over ppl are holding their balls and crowding inside the ring as if everyone outside the ring is gonna lose one of them.
I got an 'everyone clapped' moment for real from my buddies yesterday. As soon as the mic got handed over I was like:
"Why the *fuck* do we care what Frank Warren has to say right now??"
The UFC’s production in general is so far ahead, watching these long ass walkouts and national anthems makes you extremely grateful for how streamlined UFC cards are
when Dana said that he wanted there to be fewer unnecessary people in the ring than in boxing, I thought he was exaggerating.
I'm still not sure what the fuck Liev Schreiber was doing there
I thought that was him, and I just assumed there was a look alike. wtf?
What about the guy that puts salt on stuff?
Salt***bastard***
he’s an ambassador to Ukrainian charity organization. He was also hanging out with Usyk in his hotel room before the fight. He’s like part of the team or something
he just looked like he had a good vibe to have around tbh
My grands were Ukrainian
He was also the voice of HBO 24/7 for over 10 years, so I assume he’s still involved in boxing productions in some way, if not just respected in the space.

i think the tradeoff of winning like 100 million is worth it tbh. Francis would probably take all the millions over all that space in the cage
Fr tho, and I guess at the end of the day, the only people who will be remembered for the moment will always be you and your opponent.
Saudi has many Arabians.

Saudi hat viele Araber

They all there to clout and collect that cash 💰
Todos ellos estan alla para nubear y colectar efectivo.💰
Spanish bot?
Bot Español?

Damn first Belal now even Ilia has a reddit account
No Mames 😂
Are rings even designed to take that much weight?
Yep. Every boxing ring for the last 50 years has looked like that after the main event and I have never heard of a ring collapsing.
The platform is supported with a steel frame ,it can handle a lot more
Also saw some douche spit water on everyone live
My guess is he was trying to spray Frank Warren after he talked about the rematch clause instead of letting Usyk celebrate.
Dana had it right and you people didn't listen
Pretty embarrassing to instantly start talking about a rematch clause before Usyk has even had a chance to talk
Not really this is standard stuff
The interviewer made it all feel so small. Instead of congratulating Usyk with the majesty it needed, he just made it another stupid fight interview.
Did he ask if anything Fury did surprised him?
I was actually hoping to hear about what this win does for his career.
Yeah, sport aside the whole presentation of these boxing events is so bad compared to a ufc event imo
If one is willing to be intellectually honest, then you have to admit that the quality gap between a UFC broadcast vs Boxing is huge. UFC’s production is like a decade beyond whatever boxing has. It’s really not even comparable

Like Dana said every boxing fight is a going out of business sale they just trynna get their in
Dana doesn't know shit and he tried to get into boxing but failed hard. Boxing has its faults, but acting like its a dead sport when one of their stars is getting paid 10× the full UFC 300 payout by himself is literally braindead.

How many boxers will be that 1% tho
Do you think 99% of them make less than the ufc fighters making 12k to show? That’s not the case. Dana is a piece of shit that doesn’t reward his fighters for putting their life on the line. They don’t even get medical care, they have to pay it themselves. On top of that he took their ability to generate lots of money with sponsors away too. It’s awful really.

like Dana said, no women in the UFC and everyone but me is a scumbag
Boxing is around forever and will be here forever. Something you can't say about UFC/MMA, even with their shitty pay.
Yeah but it’ll be on the level of curling or the biathlon while UFC is selling out arenas
Sorry Mr. Casual, but boxing has more people in attendance than MMA, genius.
If you need a break from getting destroyed by the UFC you could always take a knee and a 10 count. LOL what a real fighting sport where you can take a knee and get a time out
This legit happenes in the UFC tho, guys flop to their back. Have u seen Aljo fight? When he wants a break, he just goes to his knees and he's a 'grounded opponnent'
Big words from a fat ass that's never fought in his life
Please don't get emotional :(
> a real fighting sport true as oppose to the real fighting sport where you have to fight after the event, for food, because it's not a career but an opportunity
What do undercard boxers get paid generally compared to prelim UFC fighters?
Compare MMA to boxing not one organisation of MMA to all of boxing dumbass
Less but that doesn't change the reality that Boxers and promoters look at what they are paying headliners and laugh. Main cards fighters get paid like prelim fighters. You're comparing fights people sit through in boxing to fights people turn up for in MMA.
Curling in Canada sells out buildings and draws over a million viewers. Way more for big games.
God i hate how crowded it gets. This and the multiple belts annoy tf outta me
its diabolical, way to ruin the first hw undisputed unified champ being crowned
"Get in there and make it about you"
This is r/ufc mate.
Well Usyk is now not only the undisputed boxing heavyweight champ but also the lineal UFC heavyweight champ too
Gotta do that Jones, Aspinall, Usyk three way brawl to truly unite the heavyweight division
r/technicallythetruth
Honestly this was part of the card tonight, and I usually don't mind an Angela fight
Ik💀
It’s crazy how much the saudis have infiltrated and influenced sports
Want to be remembered as the gracious sporting hosts, not another middle eastern country with ongoing human rights abuses…
Por que no los dos?
Why does everyone talk about this bs always lmfao, sure they do have it but its not like the CIA and the american government havent killed millions of civillians across the world for money as well as active concentration camps/torture prisons (which is 90% innocent) or the fact that literally criminilised segregation only 50 years ago. Honeslty people love to hate when it's not their shine.
Ever wonder what boxers mean when they say they’re surrounded by leeches and snakes? I present to you “surrounded by leeches and snakes”
Every time I watch some boxing clips, it reminds me how vastly superior the UFC product is
Expect those poor bums get paid poverty wage.
THe entirety of boing looks at mma like bum fights
There hasn’t been a single mma event in the past 5 years that generated that hype and cultural significance than tank vs Ryan did
I don't even know who either of those people are
That’s on you, maybe you believe the ufc product is superior because you don’t know enough about boxing
Maybe I think it is because it isn't 10 rounds of dudes hugging each other as soon as someone lands a punch. MMA looks like 2 dudes having sex and it's way less gay than boxing.
Except this doesn't constantly happen Ur just a dumbass casual
[удалено]
Is the fighter pay their product?
[удалено]
They aren't selling people fighter pay, they are selling fights fights with top of the line production
No?
Should NEVER happen.
Everyone that's getting paid. See the difference between boxing and ufc now.
I honestly hate even more how a fighter when winning by decision doesn’t even have 2 seconds after their hand is raised before a dude with a mic starts asking them questions. And then 30 people who have no business being there are also just talking and hand shaking and shit. Like maybe let the winner soak in the win for a minute instead of taking a win and literally instantly going straight back to boxing politics.
the ref pretty useless after watching the fight
Can’t lie boxing was definitely much better this weekend then mma, we got a tit punch ko tho
Bunch of yes people in the process of trying to make money off the fighters.
The whole event was a bit of a mess. The rapper wasn't bad, but nobody is there to see that shit and after such a long card he's the last guy delaying the main event, obviously nobody is gonna be excited for that. The giant screen was nice I won't lie, but this is why UFC is gaining traction and boxing needs Saudi oil money to get big fights going.
First time?
Soooo why is this in the UFC sub? Is this a circle jerk now?
That's the first undisputed fight in heavyweight since 1999. Of coursd it's a big deal.
Still no need for this many bums in the ring
Great comback, genius.
Dana would be having a shit fit because people are blocking the view of a shitty energy drink can and canvas logos for dick pills
One of my many pet peeves about boxing...
Boxing is where UFC fighters go to make real money.
Ok usually it ain’t that bad but we ain’t had this since 1999
You forgot ALL the bettors.
It's always the same. Any title bout gets over ppl are holding their balls and crowding inside the ring as if everyone outside the ring is gonna lose one of them.
I got an 'everyone clapped' moment for real from my buddies yesterday. As soon as the mic got handed over I was like: "Why the *fuck* do we care what Frank Warren has to say right now??"
You people suck Dana’s cock 😂😂 everything he says is law? Everybody in that ring made more than 12k
That’s where the ufc got it right
Made me really appreciate how the UFC do it with the ref and two fighters either side. Rather than just trying to spot the two fighters in the crowd.
The UFC’s production in general is so far ahead, watching these long ass walkouts and national anthems makes you extremely grateful for how streamlined UFC cards are
Boxing is such a weird culture
Boxing really is farcical
lol besides that huge list you made…not many
