Dana White blasts KSI’s ‘LYING’ team over Misfits PPV buys in X-rated rant on ‘horrible’ shows

The UFC's top dog has gone scorched earth on the reported numbers for October's PRIME card

The influencer boxing promotion - which was founded by internet sensation KSI - put on a stacked card for its Manchester card in October.

KSI topped the bill against Tommy Fury, while Logan Paul faced Dillon Danis in a co-main event grudge match.

It was claimed that a whopping 1.4 million people parted with their hard-earned cash to watch the social media stars do battle, a number veteran promoter White doesn't buy for a second.

The UFC Chief Executive told the : “I haven’t heard about anybody selling a lot of pay-per-views lately.

“Let me tell you how hard it is to sell 1.3 million pay-per-view buys.

"And if you did sell 1.3 million - if you sold 700,000 pay-per-view buys - they’d put putting on fights f***ing 10 times a year.

"When you hear those kinds of numbers fly around the pay-per-view world, they’re lying motherf*****s. Don’t ever believe that s**t.”

Despite the glaringly obvious lack of skill and technique, the influencer boxing scene has caught on like wildfire among Gen Zers.

And White, like many others, can't understand for the life of him why.

He said: "Anybody who’s been on any of these f***ing horrible boxing shows.

"And I like Logan [Paul] and some of these guys that are involved in this s**t, if you come out and you say you did 1.3 million pay-per-view buys on your event, you’re lying through your f***ing teeth.

"Lying through your teeth."

The MMA mogul added: “The amount of money you’d f***ing make, they’d be doing pay-per-views all the f***ing time.

"Let me tell you what, every pay-per-view distributor out there would want them, and Showtime wouldn’t have went out of business.”

It didn't take long for White's comments to come to the attention of KSI's manager and Misfits co-president Mams Taylor.
