Dana White's approach to TKO Holdings' recently announced boxing promotion seems similar to how he has built the UFC. The UFC CEO has always believed in giving fighters a chance, and it seems like he is going to do the same with his boxing promotion.
White further stated that the possibility of a super fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford might be on the cards, although he did not commit to making the fight. He expressed his approval for the idea of super fights, but remained grounded on the possibility of putting such fights together.
When the UFC President was asked how he plans to differentiate his new endeavour from other boxing promotions, he replied:
"Probably the best fighting the best—start there"

He added:
"Well, listen, my model is way different. Turki has things that he's obligated to over the next 18 months. I want to break the sport down and build it from the ground up, like we did with the UFC. So I'm on a different path."

"Listen, I love it, anytime, a gym, a specific group a team, whatever you want to call. A fighter starts to you know.. uh..[rise] , people start to take interest and become excited about him, it's exciting for all of us.. love it."
