I feel like I came in and I\u2019m beating up babies. I expected more. I expected some pushback. I expected some, I don\u2019t know, them to be more game. They\u2019re all way out of their league.\u201d<\/p>\n Dana White is asked what push back he has received from the traditional boxing establishments: There hasn\u2019t been any push back. This is like beating up babies. I feel like I came in and I\u2019m beating up babies. I expected more. I expected some push back.

You know what I mean? He works for dad. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s come in and ever had any type of vision, whereas we do. We\u2019re gonna change the entire sport.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe sport has been out there for over 100 years and there\u2019s plenty of guys that are involved in the sport. There\u2019s plenty of money in the sport. Eddie Hearn and his dad have a lot of money. It\u2019s not like they can\u2019t compete. They can\u2019t compete cause they don\u2019t know how to compete. There\u2019s no vision there.\u201d<\/p>\n Dana White Responds to Eddie Hearn\u2019s \u2018Zuffa Belt Is Cringe\u2019 Comments<\/p>\n Dana: I don\u2019t wanna sit here and smash Eddie Hearn or anything, but Eddie Hearn works for his dad.

We all know [De La Hoya is] f\u2013king mentally ill. The guy\u2019s talking all this shit and his place is in foreclosure, he\u2019s suing his fighter to try to stay with him. Has he done a Clapback Thursday recently? I would f-king love to see an episode of Clapback Thursday this Thursday from Oscar De La Hoya. Everybody feels it. It\u2019s already happening. It\u2019s going to be a fun year.\u201d<\/p>\n Dana White: Has he done a Clapback Thursday recently?
