The Stomping Ground <\/a>on Thursday. \u201cJust go, \u2018Oh these guys are coming into boxing, I suppose I better just lay down and let them walk all over me and tickle my balls.\u2019 No, obviously not. I\u2019m going to turn around and say f*cking no way, son, not on my watch. Are you f*cking serious? Everything that they did made me fight harder.<\/p>\n\u201cReally what they should have done and I told SELA this originally. What you need to do is tell Dana White when he speaks just to say, \u2018I understand contractually we can\u2019t be involved in the event, however, Turki Alalshikh, Netflix, I think would like us to be involved in the event so what I\u2019m going to do is sit down with Eddie and Turki and we\u2019ll talk about it and try to find a solution.\u2019 That\u2019s it. I probably would have had that meeting and just gone \u2018Sweet, we\u2019ll find a way.\u2019 You expect me, the way we were disrespected, to allow that? No way.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n
Hearn promises he was more than willing to sit down and discuss how exactly White and his team could get involved in the Fury vs. Joshua fight but that never happened.<\/p>\n
Instead, Hearn believes White just wanted to bulldoze his way into the event because he\u2019s partners with Saudi money man Turki Alalshikh and the situation only escalated from there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can talk, we can get over things,\u201d Hearn said. \u201cWe can find a way that\u2019s good for everybody. But when you come out and you goad me and you disrespect me and you want to breach a contract without even having a chat, it ain\u2019t going to play out like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s an arrogance, they\u2019re control freaks, they don\u2019t like it when things don\u2019t go their way.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the fight now official, Hearn is moving on but it remains to be seen if the burnt bridges can ever be rebuilt.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey think you can just walk in and take over,\u201d Hearn said. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to play out like that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hearn says Dana White has no one to blame but himself for how nasty things got between…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,711,49,48,701,82,640,702],"class_list":["post-917012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-latest-news","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
