Most comparisons between boxing and MMA are about matchmaking. Many are inclined to favor the latter because they usually get to see the fights they want, and it is something UFC president Dana White has been long proud about.
Apparently, it is something Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn is envious about. In a recent interview with BeIN Sports, the 40-year-old promoter expressed his “jealousy” towards how the UFC is able to conduct its business.
“I love what [the UFC has] done as a brand, I love their expansion into territories,” he said (via Boxing Junkie).
