UFC legend says Dana White will reinvent boxing broadcast for Netflix event

“You will see it as a viewer,” Sonnen said. “The presentation that Dana White’s going to put forward, whether it’s the colour of the ring, whether it’s the walkouts, the presentation is going to be different.

“I am very excited for that. I am ready for something new. There are only certain things you can do; you’ve got a squared circle that’s 17 feet by 17 feet and governed by the same commission.

Sonnen added: “But I guarantee Dana will do something. And when you watch, it’s going to be a treat and you’re going to go, ‘Oh, I wish we had that before.’ … I think that is one of the most exciting things.”

Chael Sonnen believes Dana White will make Canelo vs Crawford a better watch

One of the biggest complaints from boxing fans has always been the slow pace of broadcasts, something White has already promised to address. Former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen expects even more positive changes from the 56-year-old.

Sonnen, speaking on his Good Guy/Bad Guy show with Daniel Cormier, said that boxing fans can look forward to changes under White that many will wish had happened sooner.

“You will see it as a viewer,” Sonnen said. “The presentation that Dana White’s going to put forward, whether it’s the colour of the ring, whether it’s the walkouts, the presentation is going to be different.

“I am very excited for that. I am ready for something new. There are only certain things you can do though right? You’ve got a squared circle that’s 17 feet by 17 feet and you’ve got the same commission that oversees it; there are only certain things you can do.”

“But I guarantee Dana will do something,” Sonnen continued. “And when you watch, it’s going to be a treat and you’re going to go ‘Oh I wish we had that before.’ … I think that is one of the most exciting things.”
