UFC CEO Dana White recently appeared at ‘The Pete and Sebastian Show’ to discuss a variety of things. While speaking to the hosts, the UFC head honcho shared his trade secrets and his plans. White is definitely one of the most influential people at the moment. However, he still has his share of critics. The 54-year-old has faced a lot of criticism ever since Power Slap began. However, unfazed by the challenges, White is super proud of his latest venture.

There are very few events in the world that have drawn attention in the way Power Slap has. What started thirteen months ago is now one of the most viewed events on social media. Despite facing a lot of criticism from former fighters and even doctors, it seems the event is here to stay. White, who is known to take on challenges, shared in his latest episode how the event is getting massive. The 54-year-old pointed out the challenges that every new venture faces and said, “When you start a new sport, there’s a lot of trial and error, and you walk through plus the production.”

However, he was quick to point out that his production team was doing a fantastic job. The UFC head honcho revealed a few details that might surprise a few NFL and NBA fans. He said, “I’ll tell you this, if you’ve ever watched one of the power slap events on television. I would love to see the NBA the NFL Major league Baseball any of the majors you know five of six shows in. And have the production quality that we have. We have more cameras than the NFL does. When we shoot, power slap. And there’s like 34 different angles of the slap and then we put them all out on social media and they all I’m talking about hundreds of millions of views these things do. It’s incredible. It’s been a fun ride.”

It’s indeed been a ride, and the sport is definitely on the verge of growing. Slap fighting is one of the most controversial sports at the moment. But despite facing a lot of criticism, the UFC CEO is supremely satisfied with the growth and shared how he began the journey in his latest interview.

Dana White explains the success of Power Slap in his latest interview

Not so many people in this world enjoy the massive success that White has. It is this vision and his willingness to take risks that have turned him into a successful global entrepreneur. The latest addition to Dana White’s successful catalog is Power Slap, which is now worth $750 million as per the UFC CEO’s valuation. This was not especially true when he and the Fertitta brothers got into this business. When Sebastian Maniscalco spoke to Jimmy Fallon of NBC Nightly News he explained the details of the initial investment made by him, Lorenzo, and Frank Fertitta.

The 54-year-old said, “You know the original guys; the Fertita brothers were my partners in the UFC. We sold in 2016 to Endeavor, so my go-to guys I said ‘hey, I got another idea. you guys want to do this?’ And they’re like ‘yeah, we’re in.’ So we all gotta pony up a million bucks each and get this thing started. That was 13 months ago; it’s a $750 million business [today].” What started as a million-dollar investment has now grown into a massive business.
