With UFC's popularity skyrocketing, one could say Dana White is the best promoter today. But, I'm here to make an argument for Vince McMahon as still being the best promoter in the world.
Lets go to the Tale of the Tape to see who's better.

Who wins in a fight: The fight ends in a no-contest when Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Ken Shamrock, and HHH all interfere.
In the end, Vince McMahon is still the best promoter in the world today.The man knows how to create controversy with anyone. Just ask the NBA, SEC, US Government, and Bruno Sammartino. While Dana White is on his way to the top, he still has a few more years before he gets to Vince's level. Remember, Vince went from a small town promoter to a global empire selling stocks on the NY stock exchange.
