Overview
- Hearn says he now represents UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall in a commercial advisory role and was shocked by the purses detailed in Aspinall’s UFC contract.
- He argued Aspinall earned less headlining a sold‑out O2 Arena than some boxers make for British title fights at London’s 1,200‑seat York Hall, estimating roughly half as much.
- Hearn said about a dozen UFC athletes have contacted Matchroom seeking representation and he expects to sign a handful more, describing the moment as “almost like a revolution.”
- Pointing to TKO’s Zuffa Boxing reportedly paying Conor Benn $10–$15 million for a one‑fight deal, Hearn claimed Benn will make 10 to 15 times Aspinall’s pay.
- He stated he is prepared to negotiate with UFC executives Dana White and Hunter Campbell if Aspinall requests it, as the champion continues recovering from double eye surgery.
