Why does Dana White think MMA can compete with Football and Basketball?

First off, I love MMA. BUT Dana needs to stay in his lane. MMA or UFC hasint even toped boxing yet! The UFC still can make a fight that would genrate half the intrest or money that Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pac man Pacquioa would! Nore have that come up with an iconic fighter, GSP and Anderson Silva could add there popularity together and it wouldint equal 1% of a Mike Tyson in his Prime, let alone Muhamid Ali.. So to say MMA can produce a fighter that could top Michael Jordan, or even Kobe Bryant or Tom Brady, Babe Ruth, Joe Mantanna, Dan Marino, Larry Bird Magic Johnson, to think MMA can produce a fighter that would be 1% the icon those guys are is just stupid.. Kobes shoes make more money then all of the top UFC fighters combined period! Lebron James sign a 50 million dollar contract with nike when he was a senior in highschool, so why would a kid wanna be an MMA fight over basketball player, GSP wont even make 50 million in his whole career, Lebron didnt even finish Highschool before he did that..lmao omg lmao.. MMA is what is and Dana should be happy with that
