Join for free Babcock exist TMZ Sports TV Shows (Broadcast every night FS1) this week… He revealed that TB12 was the inspiration behind the inaugural Sphere sports event.
“I went to the stadium with Tom Brady. He invited me to go to U2 with him. If Brady hadn’t invited me, I wouldn’t have even gone to the stadium. It’s almost like it was meant to be,” UFC executive He talked about this large-scale event.
FYI, The Sphere is a state-of-the-art venue in Las Vegas that offers an incredibly unique, immersive viewing experience the likes of which the world has never seen.
In fact, White said his boxing promotion is under contract with MGM and without the controversy, UFC 306 would almost certainly have failed at T-Mobile Arena – which is partly owned by the casino giant.
“No matter what the outcome is, this is what should happen. This is a once and for all thing. I and [MGM] i will be back [them] After this incident.
If you haven’t heard about Saturday’s UFC 306 card, aka Noche UFC – which takes place over Mexico’s Independence Day weekend – it’s taking place in Sin City on September 14th… and features two title fights , which includes a duel “Suga” Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.
The ultimate goal, Dana said, is to celebrate Mexican heritage…and all that the Mexican people bring to the world of fighting.
“I call it my love letter to the Mexican people on Mexican Independence Day. We’re going to talk about their heritage, their culture, their history and their contributions to combat sports,” White told us.
It doesn’t come cheap to do all this… but Dana says it looks like the promotion is going to have a historic night.
“I’m $20 million invested in this thing, but the pre-orders are the largest for any event we’ve ever done in UFC history. And it’s looking like ticket sales are going to be $23 million, which is the biggest gate we’ve ever done. .
Watch the full interview with Dana…he takes a look at what the home crowd can expect from the event, and he previews some of the fights he’s most excited about.
Remember, if you dig it, you can thank the goats!
