When Dana White said Power Slap generated massive revenue in only nine months

Dana White once claimed that his controversial slap-fighting league, Power Slap, attracts substantial attention across social media platforms.

Although mainly for negative reasons, the slap-fighting league has continuously garnered public interest since it started in January 2023. The competition features two participants taking turns delivering powerful slaps to knock each other out.

Despite facing criticism, during an appearance on the Rock Sugar Magic podcast last November, White mentioned that Power Slap's social media engagement exceeds that of major sports organizations like the UFC, MLB, NBA, and WWE:

"This thing is a f**king juggernaut. Everybody thought that I was full of sh*t in the beginning. If you take the NFL, NBA, MLB, the NHL, the UFC, WWE, NASCAR, F1, PGA, and a couple of others that I can't remember, you combine all their social media numbers and multiple them by four, Power Slap beats them."

He added:

"In nine months I have an unbelievable amount of sponsors. I haven't said this publicly, this is a $450 million business."

Check out Dana White's comments below:

Critics from both the combat sports community and the medical field have raised concerns about the league's setup, particularly regarding athlete safety. The disputed issue revolves around the repetitive, full-strength blows to the head, aggravated by regulations that prevent participants from defending themselves.
