UFC Shells Out $60M for White House Card

UFC's historic White House event on June 14, coinciding with President Trump's 80th birthday, is projected to cost over $60 million with the promotion expecting to lose at least $30 million despite recouping half. Dana White confirmed fighters will walk from the Oval Office to the Octagon on the South Lawn for 5,000 attendees, with 85,000 more viewing from a nearby park. White dismissed rumors of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler. This unprecedented event highlights UFC's political ties but financial risk underscores commitment to spectacle. Fighter matchups remain TBA.
