Dana White and Bob Arum (Source: Twitter)
Dana White, a well-known name in the world of combat sports, is well-known for being a leader in the MMA community. Although there are other promoters involved, like Oscar De La Hoya, White's success has put him at the top of the field. Regarding the promoters, White has openly stated that he "hates that guy" and has strongly unfavourable views toward Bob Arum, another promoter. Let's take a closer look to see why there is such hostility.

The UFC President Dana White publicly criticised Bob Arum in 2020 for failing to appropriately compensate boxers like Terence Crawford, even going so far as to refer to him as a "scumbag." White expressed his dissatisfaction with Arum's behaviour at a news conference after a reporter questioned Arum about his claim that he could buy a Beverly Hills home with the money he had lost because of Crawford.

To which he replied, “You imagine if I said that are you f***** kidding me you guys would have murdered me if I said that. I’d never hear the end of that. That’s what you do that’s not his f***** problem that’s yours. His problem isn’t to figure out how you make money. You f***** signed a deal with that kid, your job is to promote him. All these kids that I signed you know and if you look right now at the kids we signed on our roster is very inflated right now.”
He added, “We have the biggest roster in the history of the company and I have to pay all these kids. And how I pay them is not their f***** problem it’s my problem. Imagine me if I say ‘Oh I gotta pay Conor McGregor if I get this much money I would have made a house in Beverly Hills. Shut the f*** up and pay you fighter what you owe them that’s your f**** job. He is a piece of fu*** s***.”
