INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Jake Paul believes the Dana White and Eddie Hearn rivalry is good for business.
UFC CEO White and Matchroom Boxing’s Hearn having been trading barbs ever since White’s launch of Zuffa Boxing in January. Hearn recently signed Tom Aspinall for representation amid the UFC heavyweight champion’s tense relationship with White.

“I think it’s very entertaining,” Paul said. “I just think it’s good content and good for both of their promotional abilities, and I think we’ll see more UFC fighters go and sign with Eddie Hearn, which I think is a very smart move on their part.”
White said he’d be willing to box Hearn to settle their differences. Paul and his advisor, Badarian, chimed in on who would win that fight.
“Eddie would definitely win,” Paul said.
However, Badarian, former chief financial officer for the UFC, disagrees.
“I think Dana destroys him,” Badarian said. “Dana knows how to box. Eddie does not know how to box.”
