UFC boss Dana White has given his opinion on Eddie Hearn after some recent shots were thrown his way by the Matchroom Boxing promoter.
As we know, Eddie Hearn is an incredibly successful boxing promoter. In fact, he’s so successful that he’s gotten to the point where he can say just about anything about people within the sport, and he rarely gets too much backlash.
Recently, Eddie Hearn had some things to say about Dana White, the UFC and the rise of Zuffa Boxing. It doesn’t seem like much more than some friendly banter, but Dana has always been the kind of man who challenges those who challenge him.
In one recent interviewDana White had this to say about Eddie Hearn.
Dana White responds to Eddie Hearn
“I think the WBC guy is the biggest PR thing that’s ever happened for Zuffa Boxing. I mean, that guy should just keep doing interviews every day. Keep talking. It’s incredible. I love it.”
“Um, you know, Eddie Hearn works for his dad. You know what I mean? He works for dad and you know, I don’t think he came in and never had any kind of vision. Whereas we do and we’re going to… we’re going to change the whole sport.”
“I’m not going to sit here and bash Eddie Hearn or whatever, but Eddie Hearn works for his dad. You know, it’s not like he came in here and ever had a vision. While we do and we’re going to change the whole sport and I understand that the people who are the status quo in boxing don’t like it, but it doesn’t mean they can’t still do their thing.”
“I’m not worried about it at all. The last thing is that the sport has been around for over a hundred years and there are a lot of guys involved in the sport. There’s plenty of money in the sport. Eddie Hearn and his father have a lot of money. You know, it’s not like they can’t compete. They can’t compete because they don’t know how to compete. There’s no vision there.”
“I’m sitting here, my third fight in. I’m either right or I’m wrong. We’ll find out. I keep saying it over and over again. At the end of the year, judge us based on what we’ve done this year.”
