Dana White has a lot of thoughts regarding a hypothetical boxing match with his would-be rival Eddie Hearn, and he let them all out during the UFC 327 post-fight press conference.
White and Hearn have been involved in a growing feud that started seriously with White poaching Hearnâs fighter Conor Benn. Hearn responded by signing a managerial deal with UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. The quotes back and forth got so spicy, some people started suggesting the two should punch each other in the face about it all. White has gone back and forth on the subject: suggesting he would, but also admitting he was too old and it would be a ridiculous thing to do.
âEddie Hearnâs a pâsy,â White began. âEddie Hearn ainât boxing anybody, fâking posting pictures of himself hitting the fâking speed bag. Looks like itâs in slow motion. And let me tell you what, if that did happen, me and Eddie Hearn are bums. We would be the first fight of the night.â
âThese guys are talking like weâre gonna headline some fâking card or some sât like that. Bums. Okay? Whoever was talented on that card should be insulted if he and I were anywhere near any other slot other than the first fight of the night, and it shouldnât even be on TV.â
Ridiculous it may be, but White also thinks it would be a massive fight ⊠big enough for Saudi boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh to be interested.
âYou donât think Turki would try to do that fight? Of course they did,â he said. âYeah, people [are] throwing offers around everywhere.â
We already knew about Misfits Boxing offering $10 million for the fight, and now we have Turki Alalshikh offering Saudi money to make it happen. We donât doubt Turki would really pay big bucks to make it happen, if only to make his two promotional partners even more subservient to his whims than they are now.
At least White is rich enough to be able to say no and savvy enough to realize thereâs no way he leaves a fight like that looking good. Even if, in his opinion, heâd totally smash that slow pâsy Eddie Hearn to bits.
The feud began when Dana White signed Conor Benn, a fighter previously managed by Eddie Hearn, leading to a series of public exchanges and competitive tensions between the two promoters.
Dana White referred to Eddie Hearn as a 'pâsy' and suggested that if they fought, they would be the 'first fight of the night,' indicating he believes neither of them is a serious contender.
Eddie Hearn retaliated by signing UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to a managerial deal, further escalating the rivalry between the two promoters.
