Eddie Hearn has questioned why Dana White or any senior Zuffa Boxing official was not current this previous weekend when Conor Benn defeated Regis Prograis.
After his victory over Prograis, Benn has confirmed that he’s now a free agent. His take care of Zuffa Boxing was a one-fight settlement value a reported $15 million for competing within the co-main occasion of the Netflix fight card headlined by Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Though Benn is now not with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, the promotion is predicted to provide him a long-term contract quickly.
Eddie Hearn puzzled how Dana White didn’t attend Conor Benn’s battle regardless of huge funding
Dana White’s rival promoter and arch-rival Eddie Hearn was within the entrance row on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Conn Benn locked horns with Regis Prograis and made $15 million for a 10-round determination win.
Hearn finds it odd that, regardless of such an enormous funding, nobody from Zuffa Boxing was current to look at “The Destroyer” battle. Taking a dig at White, the Matchroom boss informed Ariel Helwani:
“I used to be fairly stunned that you just’d make that unbelievable funding and never even flip up… You should have some severe cash should you’re simply keen to spunk 15 million up the wall in a 10-round battle, and never even ship anyone to form of attempt to safe that deal submit the one- battle deal. Fairly astonishing.”
Take a look at Eddie Hearn’s feedback under:
Dana White was cageside at UFC 327, the place he was seen escorting and later sitting beside U.S. President Donald Trump. White selected to remain in Miami for the numbered occasion as an alternative of flying to London to attend the bout between Conor Benn and Regis Prograis.
