Whilst speaking to The Stomping Ground<\/a>, Eddie has now had his say, first responding to White\u2019s suggestion that he lacks foresight.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s very strange because I\u2019ve got to be honest with you, I wouldn\u2019t say up my ar**, but Dana has always been so complimentary about us a company and me as a promoter, but to say I don\u2019t have any vision is really quite strange.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now when you talk about Zuffa or whatever it\u2019s called, when you talk about their vision, what\u2019s their vision? Getting Max Kellerman to tell everyone that Callum Walsh is the next Roy Jones or putting Charles Martin on a headline show on a Sunday night in front of 126 people in your garage on a ring that looks like you\u2019ve just got it out of a local club show. I mean, what sort of f**king vision is that?<\/p>\n
\u201cOr better still, here\u2019s a belt and it\u2019s Zuffa, look at the vision. That\u2019s not vision, that\u2019s control. The reality is, when he says we can\u2019t compete, they can\u2019t compete in this cut throat world of boxing because it\u2019s a horrible world and they don\u2019t want to compete. They want to create their own world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearn then compared his own events to that of Zuffa\u2019s, delivering a damning verdict on what White has produced so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, when you compare Matchroom shows to Zuffa show, quite frankly, Zuffa shows are absolute complete dogs**t. They\u2019re going to get better and they\u2019re going to sign some big fighters and spunk some money and waste some money.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve said it before, they\u2019re clever people, but right now they\u2019re trying to manipulate fight fans and they don\u2019t understand how intelligent fight fans are when it comes to boxing. You can\u2019t create these cards and tell everyone it\u2019s the best vs the best because quite frankly it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n
The British promoter, who promoted his first major card in 2011, finished by addressing the comments made by White earlier in the week about Eddie just working for his father, Barry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reality is yes, I do work for my dad. But guess what? Dana White has worked for his daddy for a long time, the Fertitta Brothers. That\u2019s who he worked for, and right now, Dana White has got a new daddy, and his name is Turki Alalshikh. He is Dana White\u2019s papi.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt took him a nanosecond to get personal, and that\u2019s because right now he\u2019s at the bottom of the pile in terms of quality as a boxing promoter but as I keep saying, they\u2019re a good operation and they will get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
It certainly appears that any hopes of seeing the two men reconcile are quickly fading, and it shouldn\u2019t take White long to respond to the latest comments from Hearn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hearn has hit back at Dana White\u2019s most recent dig as the war of words between the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-433228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
