Eddie Hearn

I mean, Tom lives in Manchester, which is four hours away.

Do you know what I mean?

It just felt a bit like, oh, let me just tick a box.

But how can you not have the UFC heavyweight champion from the U.K.

?

at the UFC UK event.

But it's like, this is what I'm saying.

These people, they're like massive control freaks.

We've not had any conversation because Tom, the winner of that fight at the White House will be mandated to fight Tom.

And that's the moment.

But Tom, you know, Tom has a contract.

So, you know, and he acknowledges that as well.

He's kind of like, well, if you don't want to change it and you don't want me to extend or you don't, you know, I guess it's tough shit for me.

I've got a choice.

I either fight or I don't.

But you just hope that, like, a sensible conversation can be had where it's like, guys, the size of this fight...

I mean, you're talking about a guy getting like a million dollars, right?

You've got Conor Benn making $15 million to have a 10-rounder and an undercard.

And then you've got the World Heavyweight Championship and UFC, one of the biggest fights in the organization, and the guy's getting a million dollars.

It's just not right.
