Overview
- Hearn, now advising Aspinall through Matchroom’s talent arm, publicly called the UFC champion’s contract “a f***ing disgrace” after reviewing its terms.
- He argued Aspinall’s purse falls far short of the commercial revenue his fights could draw and said taxes and team costs leave little incentive to compete.
- Hours after Hearn’s remarks, Aspinall posted new gym footage on Instagram signaling a comeback push, though no return date has been set.
- Aspinall is recovering from eye injuries sustained in an October no-contest with Ciryl Gane, with surgeries reported and only a partial return to training so far.
- Hearn cited potential bouts with Alex Pereira or a Gane rematch to illustrate market value, as his critique unfolds against a public feud with Dana White and the rise of Zuffa Boxing.
