  1. It’s not just the streaming of the press conferences, the branding etc …. For me the best thing about the UFC versus other sports / federations (outside of the quality of the events themselves) is all the supplementary content available in the build ups to the big cards. Just superb

  2. JAKE PAUL ISNT A BIG SELL. ALREADY PROVEN.
    HES EMBARASSING BOXING AND LIFELONG FANS OF THE SPORT ARENT BOTHERED ANYMORE. YET UFC IS KNOCKING YOU ALL OUT THE PARK, THEY MAKE BOXING LOOK LIKE A MICKEY MOUSE GET TOGETHER FOR WIMPS WHO DONT WANT TO FIGHTS EACH OTHER. .BOXING HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS COMING

  3. Eddie do you realise Jake Paul has been doing this Dana and UFC clout chase for a long time. The numbers in BOXING SHOULD TELL YOU HES NOT BEEN GREAT FOR BOXING AT ALL IN FACT SOMEBODY WHO LOVED BOXING MOST MY LIFE DONT REALLY CARE FOR THE SPORT ANYMORE. IVE BEEN TO MANY OF MATCHROOM SHOWS TOO SO IM A CUSTOMER OR "ONCE WAS" BOXING IS FAKE AND CRINGE COMPARED TO MMA. UFC 2 YEARS IN A ROW BROKE ALL TGEIR OWN BUSINESS RECORDS. SO ONCE AGAIN HOW IS UFC SUFFERING?
    BOXING PPV NUMBERS SAY IT ALL. JAKE PAUL IS EMBARASSING BOXERS NOBODY ELSE. HES BEEN GIVEN A BIGGER PLATFORM THAN 99% OF BOXING CHAMPIONS AND YET THIS SUPERSTAR CANT STRING HALF A MILLION PPVS TOGETHER. ALL WHILE UFC PPV NUMBERS ARE DESTROYING BOXING. .DO THE MATHS YOUR THE PROMOTER.

  4. I'll say this – Boxing vs UFC $ wise? Boxing is $ king, obviously. Any UFC champ that wants to defect out to get big $ in boxing but stuck in champ clause heres your answer: BEAT THE 💩 OUT OF YOUR OPPONENT IN TITLE FIGHT THEN TAP OUT B4 FINAL BELL! Just to pi$$ Dana off… ✌🏽😂🤣😂🤣😂

  5. What I don't see people spinning to Dana enough is that he and Endeavor are making a bad business decision by not increasing pay. Higher pay would improve the fighters skill level exponentially, and in turn bring more attention to the sport, meaning higher revenue, meaning higher fighter pay. A feedback loop that will carry them to billions in revenue.

  6. Ariel just knows the EXACT questions to keep things rolling I mean the guy is a beast. They never have even met before, didn't even know who he was

  7. 12:00 needs to stop with that line. Bosses don't get cut from the roster by their employees. There are plenty who've been left by the wayside after coming on board with Hearn.

    Wonder what they think hearing that little catchphrase about them being the boss.

  8. 33:00 What Eddie Hearn said about 90 Year Old Bob Arum not understanding the audience is EXACTLY how I feel about our Politicians, absolute DINOSAURS that are so out of touch and yet their stupid constituents continue to vote them in decade after decade…

  9. This is the way you interview/talk to people. Ask the question and be quite until they are done with the answer… props to Ariel.
