Some people are questioning why Eddie Hearn is fighting so hard to keep Dana White out of Fury x Joshua. Put the shoe on the other foot. Imagine this was a massive MMA fight 10 years in the making and Eddie Hearn was insisting he needed to be involved... in the promotion, stand on stage and be part of the faceoff. Dana would never let that happen in a million years. He would say, ‘You have nothing to do with this. You’re not the money behind it. You didn’t make the fight happen. You didn’t negotiate the deals. You didn’t negotiate the venue. What do you have to do with this?’ There's no doubt Dana would do the exact same thing that Eddie’s trying to do.show more

You’re completely right Ariel. Now I understand why Dana hates you so much. You’re the only one with the balls to say the truth 🫡❤️

We love Dana and hate Eddie. Nobody cares if it’s logical.

But Dana got the TV deal and his business partner IS the one putting the money up for it. If Eddie was able to he should put the money up himself for the fight but he can’t soooo 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can we get a little bit of unbiased reporting on this saga? Just a little.

The difference being that Turki, the guy WITH the money behind it, hand-picked Dana.

If Eddie was able to put the fight on himself, then he would have done it. This fight doesn't need Eddie to proceed. On the other hand, Dana has pulled off mega-fights before. They are not on the same level.

Nail on head. If this was Jones vs. Aspinall for HW belt not a chance in hell he lets Eddie promote the event or even be involved.

@TimWheatonMMA Eddie didnt negotiate anything but AJ. Everything else is Turki, TKO, Khan, Dana, Netflix. Eddie can go do it himself. Have fun. But honestly all the bullshit. Ppl are caring less

You only say this because you hate Dana. Let’s be real.

Yeah we didn’t get Fedor in the UFC because of that thinking. VADIM

Yea but Eddie isn’t Dana. Eddie isn’t the face of boxing while Dana is essentially the face of mma. Just saying

The guy funding the fight wants Dana involved. In your scenario, Eddie would have no leverage. If his business partner were paying for Conor vs. Khabib, that'd be a different story.

Dana being treated like a make a wish kid

@arielhelwani very correct dana needs to butt out and stay stateside and let eddie hearn and frank warren promote this fight

But that's not what's happening the man who's putting up the money wants Dana as promoter. You make it sound like Dana is gatecrashing on his own back.

Isn’t Turki the man with the money behind it?? Maybe I’m wrong but if he is why does Eddie cry like a little bitch when his money isn’t behind it ?

The difference is that Eddie is a nobody—a failed creature of a past era. Hearn signs Aspinall and the bloke goes blind. He supposedly “makes” the AJ/Fury fight— years too late btw—but heaven forbid Turki wants a competent promoter to actually bring the fight to the masses.

No one gives a fuck what you have to say you scumbag zionazi

Turki has always been a bird

Fuck their egos

Dana doesn’t need 10 years to put on a fight Dana doesn’t need Sheikh Turki’s money to put on a fight

News flash: Ariel doesn't like Dana.

Why didn’t he get it done in 10 years?

Facts!!

You and Dana are never going to reconcile .

Yep and Dana would win Just like he will win here

But dana has got summet to do with it tho . The money men ( turki and netflix ) want him involved . And TKO/Zuffa/white/Turki/Sela are all business involved .

Yeah the man Eddie Hearn who sold the fight to Netflix and crying that Turki who’s paying for the fight wants Dana white involved. Poor Barry hearns son

This is just UFC/M-1 Fedor from the other side yeah.

Hahahahahahaha!!! “Imagine” it’s so funny to see all the mma/boxing cast aways go so hard at Dana

That’s absolutely not true fury wants him involved and Turki wants him involved and he just did this with Oscar

Say jones finally sacked up and wanted to fight tom, u think Eddie being Tom’s manager of all things would’ve stopped the fight from happening?
