Paddy
\nPimblett<\/a> won\u2019t go against
\nUFC<\/a> CEO Dana White. <\/p>\n

While Dana White is an MMA promoter and Eddie Hearn is a boxing
\npromoter, they have been longtime rivals. The rivalry has recently
\nintensified with White\u2019s entry into pugilism with Zuffa Boxing.
\nHearn has since been going back and forth with White about a
\npotential fight. <\/p>\n

With White repeatedly underplaying the idea, Pimblett doesn\u2019t think
\nthat fight will ever materialize. However, if it does, Pimblett is
\nbacking his boss White to starch Hearn, even though he admits that
\nthe Matchroom Boxing chairman has a reach advantage. Pimblett
\nfurther notes that White and Hearn stand to earn more than the
\nfighters promoted by them if they ever fight. However, \u201cThe Baddy\u201d
\nsees the entire saga as a \u201cteenage girlish\u201d spat which both parties
\nwill eventually get over.<\/p>\n

A Lucrative Matchup<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not gonna happen,\u201d Pimblett told iFL TV<\/a>. \u201cDana\u2019s not gonna box Eddie. It\u2019s a bit
\nof a mad situation. Eddie\u2019s got the reach on him. But Dana\u2019s my
\nboss; I\u2019m backing Dana. Dana\u2019s gonna spark him out\u2026 The funniest
\nthing about it all is \u2013 if they fight each other, they\u2019d get paid
\nwell more than what the fighters are getting paid. $30 million
\neach. No boxer\u2019s getting that under Eddie, no UFC fighter is
\ngetting that under Dana\u2026 Without being disrespectful to either of
\nthem, it\u2019s very teenage girlish. But they will get over
\nit.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hearn has been slamming White for UFC fighter pay after the latter
\nsigned Conor Benn to Zuffa Boxing for $15 million. Things have
\nfurther escalated after UFC heavyweight champion Tom
\nAspinall<\/a> appointed Hearn as his manager as his relationship
\nwith White appears to be strained. <\/p>\n
