Eddie Hearn Says Early Deals for Tom Aspinall Will Out‑Earn a Recent UFC Purse

The boxing promoter is using Matchroom’s new talent arm to monetize the UFC champion’s profile during his injury layoff.

Overview

  • Hearn says that within roughly two weeks of signing with Matchroom Talent Agency, Aspinall will earn more from commercial agreements than he did for one of his last four UFC bouts.
  • Aspinall remains under UFC contract and is recovering from double eye surgery sustained in the Ciryl Gane fight, so formal bout talks are not expected imminently.
  • Matchroom’s immediate focus is sponsorships and paid media work for Aspinall, with Hearn arguing fighters can capture substantial income outside the cage.
  • EssentiallySports reports a planned DAZN pundit appearance for Aspinall on April 18, which has not been independently confirmed.
  • Hearn says additional UFC athletes have contacted him about representation and he plans further signings, while declining to manage boxers due to promoter conflicts.
