Dana White mocks Eddie Hearn after Conor Benn's defection

Zuffa Boxing founder Dana White mocked Matchroom's Eddie Hearn after Conor Benn defected for a reported $15 million deal, accusing Hearn of crying.

White mocked Hearn, stating, 'I am really beating up babies,' and asked, 'Is there a bigger p-ssy than Eddie Hearn?' He dismissed Hearn's claim that he was denied the right to match Benn's deal as 'a crock of s--t.'

White hinted that more high-profile signings, including heavyweight Anthony Ruiz, are on the way, though he acknowledged the disparity between these flashy one-off events and the smaller Meta Apex shows.
