When he’s not hanging with his pal President Donald Trump, strategizing on UFC dealing with the coronavirus and offering a UFC job to a female security officer who tangled with a would-be shoplifter at BestBuy, uber dealmaker/Las Vegas pitchman Dana White was telling New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to play for the Las Vegas Raiders.
White, getting ready for UFC 248 fight event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Saturday, was telling Brady on a call that he and his family can live in Los Angeles and the flight from LA to Las Vegas is only 45 minutes.
White pitched Brady on the new Raiders stadium that is scheduled to be completed July 31 and probably was a betting salesman for Las Vegas to hook Brady than the local chamber, economic development agency and Carolyn Goodman combined.
White told Brady he’s a Boston guy, too, and that the Raiders training center and headquarters are great, too. White mentioned the Raiders training center is outside Las Vegas — but didn’t mention that it’s in the city of Henderson.
Take a look and listen:
LVSportsBiz.com has no idea whether current Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has heard about White’s pitch to Brady. But LVSportsBiz.com thinks this might be Carr’s reaction if he did.
