I\u2019m not going to say no to any opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the minute rugby is my main priority so I\u2019m focusing on that in the near future, but as I said, you never know what\u2019s happening around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearn told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/northampton\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Northampton<\/a> in August that Pollock is \u201ccertainly a seven-figure player\u201d because of the commercial clout he brings and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/golden-lions\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lions<\/a> flanker has taken the \u00a31million-plus valuation in his stride.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see it as pressure,\u201d he said. \u201cI see it as him doing his job. He\u2019s the best sports promoter in the world. The reason he\u2019s the best is because he gets his client what he deserves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEddie\u2019s been great for me and he\u2019s given me so many avenues to get into. The way that he can give me access to loads of different stuff has been amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no bad words about him. The sport of rugby needs to change and hopefully this is a change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published: 2 hours ago | 14 September 2026 14:37 EDT Updated: 2 hours ago | 14 September 2026&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":770759,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-770758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770758","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=770758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/770759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=770758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=770758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=770758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
