If UFC’s Dana White and Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn are serious about settling their differences inside of the ring then Misfits Boxing is offering up $20 million total to stage the promoter vs. promoter superfight.
As you may know, White and Hearn have been clashing heads ever since White rolled out Zuffa Boxing and tried stepping on the toes of established boxing promoters everywhere. Bad blood began to boil — especially after Zuffa Boxing signed Conor Benn and Hearn linked up with UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall — and it eventually led to talks of a boxing match between White and his English adversary.
Bookies already released betting odds for the ridiculous boxing match and Hearn is currently a large favorite.
Earlier this week, Misfits Boxing co-president, Mams Taylor, spoke with IFL TV and revealed that his promotion is willing to pay both White and Hearn a whopping $10 million purse to stage their grudge match. That may not be rich enough to coax someone like White into the boxing ring, but it’s a nice start.
“$10 million each, yes,” said Taylor. “Let’s make it happen.”
While White does have a background in boxing and works out like a mad man, Hearn is considerably taller (6’5” to White’s 5’11”) and 10 years younger. Hearn would certainly have the advantage on paper over White if the two ever squared off inside of the ring, but White seems like a true hot head and someone that may be able to dig deeper in the later rounds.
I think Hearn would accept the fight, but Dana has to much to lose
Dana Bets 10 M a Hand
An if he got knocked out or looked bad , it would destroy his aura
Put them in a room like gannon vs kimbo an Dana fucks him up, I like Eddie though, he seems pretty cool
Hearn is a tall dude, I’d say he works Dana to death as long as he wants. jazzercise or boxercise or whatever is not going to cut it.
Dana shits $10M dollars.
This.
I’m sure he laughed at this as hard as I did.
Dana White won’t do it because he’s chickenshit.
I want and don’t want this fight to go through. I want Hearn to win to end this bullshit self promotion of Dana White being a badarse but I also don’t want this fight because if Dana White wins then he will be so much more of a fucking tool.
