Eddie Hearn Says Conor Benn’s $15M Zuffa Deal Exposes UFC Fighters Getting “Ripped Off”

The Matchroom boss said UFC fighters are “sick as a dog” after hearing Benn’s reported $15M Zuffa Boxing payday. He argued MMA pay is “no loyalty,” citing heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall’s UFC 321 eye-poke fiasco with Ciryl Gane and subsequent surgery. Hearn claimed the UFC “humiliated” Aspinall, implying that the pay gap will spark resentment across the locker room.
