“The guy over Showtime, whatever his name is, is a jackass. The truth of the matter is we are the largest pay-per-view provider on Earth,“ said White. “When you talk about Showtime, Showtime is a very very small universe… Not a lot of people have showtime so when these fights happen, there aren’t a lot of people watching them. I am on ESPN, you know, and there’s a big difference,” continued White.
