TKO President Mark Shapiro detailed the UFC White House event on June 14, coinciding with Donald Trump's 80th birthday, projecting costs over $60 million with no direct profit expected. Dana White confirmed fighters will walk from Oval Office to Octagon on South Lawn for 5,000 attendees. Shapiro noted plans to offset half via corporate partnerships tied to multi-year deals, viewing it as long-term investment for media exposure and new fans amid $7.7B Paramount deal. Rumors of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler dismissed as BS by White; Jon Jones return uncertain. This historic spectacle could boost UFC's global reach.
