“It’s not a set-up,” White is quoted as saying by MMAmania. “Setup is when MMA guys go into boxing and lose. We’ve seen it before, and we know how it ends.”
“This is a fight between two of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world. Who will win? Who has seen this before? Nobody. This is a fight that literally everyone will watch.”
“Whoever doesn’t like it can continue watching MMA fighters vs boxers in boxing. Perhaps you like it, despite the fact that you know exactly who will win in advance. So it’s all good”
A few days earlier, White confirmed the billionaires’ willingness to fight in the UFC, which they had previously agreed on social networks, and also expressed confidence that this event would break all pay-per-view sales records.
Despite the fact that the official organization of the fight is still far away, the UFC is actively promoting this fight, including releasing T-shirts for this event.
