Eddie Hearn believes Dana White doesn\u2019t know what he is doing with
\nZuffa Boxing. <\/p>\n

Zuffa Boxing is the latest venture of
\nUFC<\/a> parent company TKO. Zuffa was initially billed as a boxing
\nleague that would function like the UFC, with the best fighters
\ncompeting under a single banner. However, Hearn, White\u2019s archrival,
\ndoesn\u2019t think Zuffa has played out as planned. Hearn believes the
\nUFC brass is too arrogant to realize what their competitors are
\ndoing in boxing. Hearn notes that Zuffa has barely put any
\nsuperstars in action yet. Hearn also slammed Zuffa for being stuck
\nat the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, instead of hosting events in bigger
\narenas.<\/p>\n

Stuck in Neutral<\/h2>\n

\u201cThese guys, very smart, very powerful,\u201d Hearn told Fight Hub TV<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t think they know what
\nthey\u2019re doing in boxing. I think they\u2019re just kind of like, \u2018Sign
\nhim, sign him. Oh, we need some welterweights.\u2019 When they started
\nthe whole thing, it was this league. The new league for boxing.
\nWhere is the league? We\u2019re six months in. And all we\u2019ve seen is
\nfive shows with a load of randoms on it\u2026 One really big signing in
\nConor Benn, who\u2019s not fighting in any of the shows. He\u2019s fighting
\nin Ring boxing. And they\u2019re stuck in the Apex still. Are you gonna
\ncome out of there?\u201d<\/p>\n

White intensified the rivalry with Hearn by poaching one of the
\nlatter\u2019s biggest fighters, Conor Benn, to Zuffa. Benn\u2019s $15-million
\nZuffa signing also received backlash from UFC fighters, who
\ncomplained about not earning even a fraction of that amount despite
\nbringing in the lion\u2019s share of revenue. Meanwhile, Hearn recently
\nbecame the manager of UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, who is
\ncurrently not on the best terms with the promotion. <\/p>\n
