UFC CEO Dana White has addressed criticism that mixed martial arts fees are far inferior to boxing fees.
White said on the channel Club Shay Shay on YouTube:
Boxing got so f***ed up that nobody could actually make a living out of it, that Saudi Arabia had to take it over. A group of people that have so much money, they don't care whether they make or lose money.
Recall, June 22 will be the first UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia, which will be headlined by a middleweight bout between Ikram Aliskerov and Robert Whittaker.
