According to CNBC, UFC President and CEO Dana White said Power Slap could become as big as the UFC, citing heavy social media traction, sponsor interest and global reach. White said the sport has produced the most viewed YouTube short ever in sports on Power Slap and the most viewed post ever in sports on TikTok, while Socialpruf said it generated 1.88 billion impressions over the past year, nearly 40 million likes and $48 million in earned media value. White also said Power Slap has secured more sponsors in its first two years than the UFC had in 10 years. He added that Zuffa Boxing, which held its first event in January, is a better short-term bet than Power Slap because boxing has been broken for a long time.
