Dana White launched his slap-fighting promotion, Power Slap, last year. The first season aired on TBS, but due to low ratings, Warner Bros. Discovery canceled it. However, White didn’t close Power Slap. Season two of Power Slap streams on Rumble.
Recently, Dana White appeared on FLAGRANT, where he claimed that Power Slap has more followers than every single professional sport. White also said that he started Power Slap 15 months ago, and now it’s a $750 million-worth company.
“This thing [Power Slap] has been around for 15 months, [and it became] a $750 million business…
UFC CEO said that Power Slap has more subscribers on YouTube than the NHL, MLS, NASCAR, PGA, and Barstool Sports.
“We started this thing 15 months ago, right? Right now, on YouTube, we [have] more subscribers than NHL, MLS (Major League Soccer), NASCAR, PGA (Professional Golfer’s Association), and Barstool Sports. We have over a billion YouTube views. Eight of the top 12 largest YouTube shorts against other major sports are Power Slap. Four of the top five largest YouTube shorts on UFC’s channel. We’re No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 on UFC. When you think about Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, and all the big stars, this thing absolutely dominates. We have more followers than every single professional sport. Every professional sports team, we have more followers than them in 15 months.”
When asked about whether Power Slap has more followers than Real Madrid or soccer teams, Dana White said the following:
“I don’t know about the soccer teams, but I would say yes.”
