Can WWE match the UFC's Sphere spectacle, or is Dana White in a league of his own?

With an expense of $21 million, the UFC Sphere earned the promotion a massive $22 million in gate revenue as well as the appreciation from the community for being the first and only promotion, that dared to host a sports event at the $2 billion Sphere. The UFC CEO Dana White made sure to show levels to his competitors when he announced the Sphere event but the MMA community was skeptical about the event due to the lack of star power. However, last the event went live, White made sure to shut his critics down. Now, after a month, ‘Triple H’ appears to be enticed to host an event there.

Du͏r͏ing a co͏nv͏ersation at the WWE Ba͏d B͏lood͏ pre͏mium ͏ev͏ent͏’s ͏post-fight press conf͏eren͏c͏e in͏ Atlanta,͏ Ge͏org͏i͏a͏, the͏ pr͏omot͏ion’͏s ͏Ch͏ief Content Offic͏er, Paul “Tri͏ple H” Levesque, p͏r͏aised his ͏TKO partne͏r, Dana Wh͏ite, f͏or͏ h͏osti͏ng o͏ne of ͏the gre͏atest events͏ in co͏mba͏t spor͏ts history. ‘Triple H’ emphasized that the promotion really ignited the entertainment capital of the world and expressed his interest in hosting an event there as well.

“And then I also look at our partners in TKO, when I see what Dana is doing, and they’re just crushing it. I see stuff at the Sphere, and I look at that production, and I’m like, ‘I wanna do that.’ You know, it looks like a lot of fun, man,” said Triple H.

He further appreciated Dana White and the UFC for setting the bar for other promotions to follow, “It’s amazing to see what they do at the level they do it, and there’s nothing like them in the world. I think, for me, to be in this right now, to have the partners that we have, to have the talent we have, and the product that we are able to put out there—there’s nothing like what we do.”

Taking Triple H͏’s word for granted m͏ight backfire against his critics as we͏ll.
