After going after a million TV networks and multiple meetings with politicians, the trio were eventually able to get the UFC on TV and put on live fights across the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.@powerslapleague premieres TOMORROW!

The trio bought the company for $2 million and sold it for a whopping $4.2 billion. During the time that he has been president, White has attempted to get into other sports as well. Unfortunately, none have worked out. And by the looks of it, his latest venture is doomed to fail as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dana White and the Slap League\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Towards the end of last year, Dana White revealed the Slap League. For those confused as to what it might be, it is exactly what it sounds like, two individuals standing across a table from each other and slapping the other person as hard as possible till there is a knockout. The sport has drawn a lot of criticism and the official TV debut of the Slap League did not help with the criticisms. Here are some of the best reactions to Dana White\u2019s slap league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">let <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stefondiggs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@stefondiggs<\/a> commentate the next power slap <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ibdqal7ay5\">pic.twitter.com\/Ibdqal7ay5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Spinnin Backfist (@SpinninBackfist) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpinninBackfist\/status\/1615927033468489729?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One fan said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPower Slap TV ratings drew just 295,000 viewers on TBS for its debut last night, doing 0.10 in the 18-49 demo (45th on Top 150).\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs said,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cWhat am I watching?
