However, several people took shots at White in the comments area, criticizing the proposal. Unfazed by the hatred, White responded with strong comments and stated that everyone will be watching the fight. He wrote:
“This isn’t a gimmick fight. Gimmick is MMA guys going to Boxing and getting beat. We have seen it already and know how it ends. This is a fight between 2 of the most powerful/richest guys in the world. Who will win? Who has seen this before? NOBODY. It’s also a crossover fight that literally EVERY EVERYONE will watch.”
With both tech titans agreeing on the battle and Dana White weighing in to promote it, it certainly appears to be a good idea. However, there are various problems that must be overcome in order for the fight to take place. White is also concerned about them.
White on complications with Musk vs. Zuckerberg
In one of his interviews, Dana White stated that Musk and Zuckerberg are ‘dead serious’ about the fight and are not joking around. As a result, he feels that this fight has a chance of succeeding.
Dana White stated during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show that a prospective battle between Elon Musk (6ft 1) and Mark Zuckerberg (5ft 7) would not be sanctioned by a commission due to the significant size and weight gap between the two.
As a result, White claimed that it is a difficult bout to make. However, he does not appear to be giving up.
Do you think White will pull it off? Do you believe in the concept of Zuckerberg vs. Musk?
