Key Points:
- UFC President Dana White criticized Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn, accusing him of undermining the Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury super fight by insisting it take place in the UK rather than the US.
- White stated that Hearn, as the promoter, should prioritize maximizing earnings for the fighters, but instead is "hurting" the fight by focusing on location over financial potential.
- The dispute over the venue, with Hearn favoring Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and White advocating for a US location, has brought the fight close to collapse.
- White emphasized that holding the fight in the UK would generate significantly less revenue, complicating efforts to maximize profits for all parties involved.
- Despite the tensions, White remains focused on finding a solution that benefits both fighters and stakeholders financially.
