Really? I've never heard of a fan complaining about meeting Dana.

in business there is not luck, its skill and foresight, mostly foresight, which dana had, and brought it up to the attention of his friends who had money, so they put the money up and made it work.

when dealing with anything life there is almost always luck involved of some sort. the skill is know what to do with that luck and since dana is the president of the top mma org thats saying something

then again this is just another bash dana thread for no good reason. /yawn get over the hate already

I wish I had some friends that had a lot of money and then I told them to buy a company and let me be in charge of it.

His major stroke of luck is that Lorenzo insisted that they do the reality show when Dana wasn't into it.

According to Big John McCarthy in a recent video interview.

the DW hate is rediculous and a lot of it comes from people who started watchig MMA after TUF but who clain to have always been diehard PRIDE fans.

I know where the TS is coming from...

One thing though, as much as I've personally bitched and complained that the fighters don't get paid enough (I still don't think they do), Zuffa HAS run this show like a business...which is what has likely kept the whole gig from going way of the IFL, Bodog and EliteXC. How much of this is Dana? I don't think a whole lot...but maybe he's the dumb, loud muscle that the "Fertittas" allow/put up with, whilest they mind the actual workings (matchups, business end).
