Are you serious? He risked his own money! What's so greedy about that? He didn't have a network deal, so they produced everything! That means, their own cameramen, announcers, construction guys, and had to pay the stadium from their pocket! And they still paid the fighters on time. Have you ever did a startup? It's EXTREMELY tough to pay people on time, when you're not making a profit! They're on pace to create more millionaires than boxing ever has! Do me a favor, go to a pro Obama channel!

How are there any dislikes on this video; are you kidding me? Lorenzo is a businessman and he carries himself so well. Any interview with him is educational and inspirational.

happy to read ur comment friend, totally agree with u.. but still i think there is more good then evil in this world. it is just mostly the evil stuff we see, the representatives and the media is evil..

So many Zuffa zombies here. No wonder the world is ruled by horrible horrible people. Sheep like you go with the herd and blindly follow what scumbags like the Dana White and the Fertittas tell you.

The reporter was obviously bias and trying every which way to focus on the negative aspect of the story.  ESPN is just plain unprofessional.

Lorenzo should've front kicked him with those fine leather shoes.
