given his reaction to TalkSport<\/a> on the new partnership between Sky and White, claiming that Zuffa have \u2018massive problems\u2019 currently.<\/p>\n\u201cIt depends what shows they give them. I think they\u2019re doing four shows in the UK. It\u2019s not a lot, but they haven\u2019t got any UK fighters other than Conor Benn, whose contract expires in what, three weeks? So we\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve said before, Zuffa and TKO are a big company, but they\u2019ve got massive problems at the moment. The UFC, there\u2019s a fighter revolt going on at the moment. Them moving into boxing has highlighted this problem and blown it up out of nowhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot will depend on the time and effort and if they can be bothered to fight every single day in the boxing space. That\u2019s what you\u2019ve got to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearn then said that Sky Sports being involved in boxing is a good thing for the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, I would say Zuffa are eighth or ninth in terms of promotional rankings in terms of what they\u2019re doing and the fighters they have, so they have got to try and move up the ladder and I\u2019m not sure if they\u2019re capable of doing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see the level of shows they put on Sky Sports. Jake Paul has got dates on Sky Sports, so whatever happens, it\u2019s great to see Sky Sports back in boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Zuffa and Sky will be working together, Hearn and Matchroom recently inked a five-year extension with DAZN, with Top Rank also recently joining the platform.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hearn has shared his thoughts on Dana White\u2019s Zuffa Boxing signing a multi-year broadcast deal with Sky…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-486794","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\/486794","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=486794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
