Dana White: “FIRE LARRY MERCHANT” – UFC Owner’s SHOCKING Comments

By Geno McGahee

Dana White got caught up in the Floyd Mayweather, JR. – Larry Merchant altercation like many did and he came out with a comment that has shocked a lot of people. He has called Merchant “senile” and noted that “he should be fired.”

The feisty Merchant was verbally attacked by Mayweather, JR., after his cheap shot win over Victor Ortiz and he responded by saying that if he was “50 years younger,” he’d kick his ass. Later, he joked and said that he didn’t think he could beat Floyd even if he was 50 years younger, but he’d try.

Most supported Merchant, especially under the circumstances. He asked the tough questions and it was met with anger and threats by Floyd. Now Dana White has said his piece and he’s not alone, believing that the journalists need to maintain a level of professionalism, but they should not be punching bags either.

To the credit of White, his string of Pay Per Views have, on average, been a lot more satisfying then what boxing had produced, but he is still in the wrong for his comments regarding Merchant.
