- White has downplayed the potential matchup, claiming they are not main event material, but Hearn insists the fight would be a major event, potentially generating over one million pay-per-view buys and significant revenue.
- Hearn proposed a 50/50 revenue split between himself and White, estimating that each could make around $30 million from the fight, though he acknowledges the fight is unlikely to actually happen.
- Despite their ages (Hearn 46, White 56) and limited combat sports experience, Hearn is ready to settle their dispute in the ring and challenges White to respect him by following through on the fight.
- The ongoing trash talk from White has motivated Hearn to publicly assert his willingness to fight, aiming to prove who is truly more courageous.
