Dana White on Fleeing Boston with UFC due to Mafia, Whitey Bulger crew | Teddy Atlas 

This comment is hilarious, you deserve more likes 😂😂

🤣

Holy shit that's hillarious

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂Call Francis Nganou

Foo

"I love everything about these kids!!"

The mob would get a title shot ahead of Conor by the sounds of it 😂

How does this comment not have thousands of likes

Irish = Mob Italian = Mafia

Ain't shinin shoes no more

Oooooohhh!

Mans on the mark

Just watch the video weirdo

@@cfynest1 Hahaha, I'm sure the irony of what you posted is lost on you. Yes, I may be weird, but I prefer that over being a hypocrite that can't abide by their own advice.

The biggest know it all in boxing

@@alchemistwillie2342 lol triggered

He did.. Too bad they ruined the story. It's a rushed pos

He actually didn’t. I love Johnny Depp but that role as Whitey was nothing like Whitey. He didn’t sound anything like him and Whitey hardly ever cursed. And he did not talk to his crew like the way he did in the movie. The Irish crews were not like the mafia where you had to respect the boss no matter what. It was built on mutual respect among one another. Kevin weeks talked all about it. Johnny looked like him but acted nothing like him. In fairness to Johnny though he had no interviews or audio recordings to go off of so he had to kind of wing it.

@@sukottoshinobe7360 he was very softly spoken in the wiretaps I heard

@@sukottoshinobe7360 respect to him for taking on that kind of role though Idk I’ve always seen more as an actor that takes on weirdish alternative roles

if you want the truth for someone like me who knew Jimmy about you his whole life and my whole life he didn't do them at all I was really bad you look like a vampire with those fake colored contacts on not to mention everything was wrong everything that whole movie was wrong it was really bad!

Nah. He just teamed up with the Italians. Google the history of his UFC partners.

"Isn't the mafia awesome? They will fight anyone at any time!"

@@Doriamo Not in the US anymore. Most of the italian Mafia lost all their power.

@@Milo19970 They didn't lose connections thats how they switched to legal and half legal business and scams which dont lead to long prison sentences and thats whats important in legal business like ufc they lost unions and 90% of the muscle but it don't need much to persuade honest man and they ain't waring with gangs or other families

With blackjack! And hookers!

“That 20’s Gritty feel” sums it up nicely. Thats the exact feeling.

Detroit

That was wrong

That's untrue. Kevin weeks is my uncle. Dana was a "boxing trainer" at the B.A.C. Boston Athletic club.

😂

😂😂😂 well put

where is he from? came across this vid on my feed

@@Bandzz268 famous boxing cornerman. I think boston

@@OlDirtyBandit Teddy?? Pretty sure the guys from New York... now the other guy, I don't know.

@@TheSweetestScience yea I knew it was NE but wasn’t sure

Probably a different story. Dana who?

Except he always is dissing boxing every chance he gets

@@philchickenfingers1190 That's because boxing is trash. Corruption and scum promotion

Great Deal

Even Trump worked with them.

Zuffa is mafia

Even Trudeau diddle kids in the back !

@@dayswage9116 *ZUFIA* ? ✋😭🤣

Since the ufc brought strikeforce its not really mma in anymore

?

@@Jp-do9ny um, there are a lot of MMA promotions...

@@joeberger3441 and most of em on fight pass

@@Jp-do9ny huh?

Pull out that is funny I wish I knew how to pull out LMFAO 😅😅😆😅

That's not how it happened buddy

@@SouthieAintAllYuppies it actually did bro. Dana got beaten up by Winter Hill, he just doesn't like admitting that part.

@@SouthieAintAllYuppiesisn’t that why he can’t hear out of one ear?

Me neither interesting never mention that in the movie. I bet he was real good at cell extractions!

he wasn't he was a crackhead he was in jail.. so wasn't his brother Dicky Eklund is it 10 years for Robin I think it was a convenience store with a shotgun because it's a crackhead.

I'm from that town with the prison Caught me super off guard when he mentioned it

Well said, brother.

Haha Where did sammy say that…

@@irishninja2009 Go search his podcasts, there is one titled Whitey Bulger and he says it alright.

@@electriceyeslide5959 nah he said he never met him or knew him personally only did time with Flemmi and Flemmi told him only bad things

@@irishninja2009 In that video, he calls him a scumbag and he essentially calls him a punk. I never said he knew him personally.

@@electriceyeslide5959 yeah but you said Bulger was afraid of him the mob were petrified of Bulger

Actually, Dana ran a small boxing gym in Bulger's "territory" and the crew was shaking him down for "protection" money.

Wtf ru talkin about??? Its called extortion!

Like a 100 years later after he lived a full life lol

Lol, that's some weird kind of "justice " , he only lost couple of years when he was old. If you had offered him that deal in his early life he would of snapped your hand off to accept. Being on other side of law is all about gambling & you can't win them all

Agreed......G. Damn Mafia !! 👎😤😠

Too expensive and pointless. Stay in our town and do by our rules, or leave. They had Boston all under their thumb including the local cops. If they chase everyone all over the world they’ll soon get locked up.

Whitey was already on the run by the time Dana was worth chasing down. They’re definitely not chasing him to Vegas for a couple thousand dollars.

The only time they went outside of Boston was to Tulsa for the million dollar world Hali organization. Where they committed a brazen hit in broad daylight. And that’s what helped indite them. They were very weary of leaving their turf for business. The one time they did it screwed them.

Not worth it for $1500, he was a nobody back then.

Mob

@Mike Rauch who cares you troll get a life

ufc fighter are his slaves

It's the Fajita brothers

Yikes bad response

The money probably went directly to Joey Merlino.

Not in my neighborhood in south Philly we didn’t kick up to anyone

Teddy Atlas has been around way longer in the fight game than Dana. A legend. do your research casual. this guy. you must be like 18

@@cinecrime in no way shape or form did i take away from his fight credentials, it was annoying how he was insisting about the mob, like get over it..sorry your feelings were hurt

SHH

Pedos running drugs and woman!

@@thomastarkanian8980 Dios Mio 😂🏴‍☠️

Yah don't say...

He spoke about it on the rogan podcast, it was outside a bar, don’t think it was them tho.

Yes they do/will, as long as the officer reports it

@@thomastarkanian8980 Highly doubt tht, firefighters aren’t allowed to work at the same station as family members so it wouldn’t make sense tht they could do it in prisons where there is way more tht can go wrong

@@hardassteel Well obviously not everyone has heard the details. I take it you have? Congrats. Have yourself a cookie

@@hardassteel most stories are old and i seriously doupt that u heard about every single story the second they happen

@@hardassteel so what if it’s old. Does that mean everyone in the world has to have heard it?

@@hardassteel I bet you have lots of friends.

@@hardassteel no one’s crying but I like how you dodged my question.

Obviously

It was crazy. IMO he did the right thing to bug out - that crew was very, very dangerous. They were perfectly happy to make an example of someone!

They probably just popped the yellow pages open and found his name etc through the business. Everybodies name was in the white pages im those times.

I bet he won't "go" with Mark Hunt..

@@chrisclark9373 betcha he wouldn't back down either

@@bvabky I bet he will, Google Mark Hunt, Mark would snap Dana's bird legs with one kick

Whites a pipsqueak..look at him pre HGH

@@Bruins-vq5ey size isn't everything ......tell that to Stan Johnathan

They are all dead or in jail those days are over what were they gonna do fly a guy to Vegas for a small debt

@@michealjaymurphy Michael, thank you for your prompt explanation. I just didn't know that much about it, so I certainly appreciate your information.

@@michealjaymurphy there was never any debt, made up shit.

​@paulandlesson he also didn't actually owe them any money It was extortion because he was Boston By following him to Vegas they would have been on someone else's organized crime turf (with Vegas probably Italian, possibly Mexican or Jewish -not sure)

By a Genovese family associate that was muscle for a local crew from my city.The guy and his brother were demons who wrecked havoc for a while.He was part of a murder of our local mob boss. Shot and killed and beat the piss out of many people. The stories of the things they did are scary.Crazy he's the one who took out Bulger. A Greek from western mass. I'll never forget learning how real the mafia really is .

@DiezelBurner 🤣 ok

Only when they want to kill you

yikes

@Emilio Estevezovic then keep your job and recruit fighters to house building. You think the company you work for doesn't make more than you? Does the new guy you're training deserve the same thing you make? It's called business and that's how every one of them that survive operate. The NFL keeps over 6 billion a year for itself. That's much more than the total amount the UFC keeps. Percentages sound entirely different when viewed as whole numbers.

@Emilio Estevezovic ok. So your guys make a minimum of 10k a month then? That means the newest and lowest paid. 50% is the number thrown around most at the UFC since that is what the NBA and NFL do. Fighters have the same choice we do bro. If they don't like the pay they can find new careers. Nobody forces them to get punched in the face for a living. If that's their only skill set then that's a parenting problem and unfortunately stupid people will keep breeding regardless so RU-vid comments section can't help there either. Seriously though, how would you feel about a fashion designer ringing you up and letting you know your employees are underpaid and your scum for taking advantage of them? That's what everyone complaining about fighter pay to Dana is. We have no idea what gross revenue or expenditures are much less expectations from share holders now. From what I've heard from Chael, DC, and Michael Bisping among many others is Dana takes care of them on and off the books. You win and become a star then you become rich. Conor was the highest paid athlete one year. That doesn't happen without Dana and the UFC.

@Emilio Estevezovic lol. Ok man. When that dress designer offers their advice on wages for your business best pay attention.

@Emilio Estevezovic part of one of my previous responses. " how would you feel about a fashion designer ringing you up and letting you know your employees are underpaid and your scum for taking advantage of them? That's what everyone complaining about fighter pay to Dana is." Since they design dresses for a living they obviously know how carpenters should be paid. Same with everyone who didnt build their own MMA promotion (the entire sport actually) telling Dana how it should be run.

extortion/ protection

Was looking for this comment, lol

Or you have zero understanding of the story……

Extortion If he actually owed them anything they would have shown up in Vegas

@@cbeaudry4646 Yeah brother shaking him down. Sorry for the NJ lingo. Absolutely you can't start getting big around other big guys. I'm not in the streets no more. But I I've dealt with this many times.
