Dana White criticism
Hearn added to the criticism of White, pointing out how he threw Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall under the bus after his no-contest fight against Ciryl Gane.
“Look at what they did to Tom Aspinall,” he said. “Tom Aspinall literally had his eye gouged out in a fight and Dana White basically called him a cry baby and cast him aside.
“Humiliated him in front of everybody, while the guy is having operations to save his eyesight.”
White’s response to Hearn
White bit back at Hearn’s comments with a vulgar outburst, claiming that Hearn could not match the money Zuffa put up.
He said: “I think you saw this week that I am really beating up babies.
“Is there a bigger p*ssy than Eddie Hearn? This guy’s supposed to be your friend and you’re f**king crying?
“He made more money, he’s going to make more money and he had the right to match it.
“He couldn’t match it.”
Benn plays mediator
Benn responded to the situation, claiming he still wants a relationship with Matchroom, saying: “I’m doing this for my family – it’s an offer you’d be mentally ill to turn down, so for me, I’m blessed to be in the position I’m in.
“But I wanna maintain my relationship with Matchroom, especially Eddie Hearn, Frank Smith.”
