Dana White took to Fox News to reveal more information on the UFC event to be held at the White House next month.
White indicated that 4,300 people will be allowed onto the White House lawn to watch the card. Most of the attendees will be members of the administration, VIPs, dignitaries and the military.
In addition, the UFC will have a fan fest and viewing party at the Ellipse park near the White House. The president made the announcement that the building of the stadium is being constructed for the anticipated fans that will attend. Fans will be able to watch the fights on big screens at the park. White indicated that they will give away 85,000 tickets to the park.
Payout Perspective:
To be honest, I am not sure if we will see 85,000 people attend an event to watch on a big screen. While White has reiterated this is not a political event. It is. And, like last year’s military parade, its a way to appease the sitting president. In the end, how much will it cost taxpayers. Who are the contractors that are doing the work to construct the stadium? We may never know because we refuse to force people to answer the tough questions.
