Watch Dana White’s disgusted reaction to being asked about fighting Eddie Hearn for $20 million

Dana White has made it crystal clear that he has no interest in fighting Eddie Hearn.

The rival promoters have been taking shots at each other through the media for the best part of a year.

Their feud has escalated due to Dana White‘s claim that he is the promoter and producer of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Eddie Hearn insists the UFC CEO is contractually barred from playing a role in the fight on December 11.

Dana White has claimed to be open to a boxing match with Eddie Hearn: Who do you think would win if they met in the ring?

Dana White and Eddie Hearn recently received an ‘official’ offer to settle their differences in the ring.

Kalle Sauerland has expressed his willingness to pay $20 million to make the grudge match happen under the Misfits Boxing banner.

“The whole pot is $20 million,” the boxing promoter said on Saturday. “I’ll offer that right now.

“Eddie Hearn, Dana White, winner takes all… Six rounds, two minutes. Forget the egos, or we’ll never get the fight done, and we’ll all be great-grandparents by that time. We’ll just coin-toss everything.”

White was asked about the Sauerland’s offer after filming the Contender Series on Tuesday evening.

The UFC boss shot a disgusted look and rolled his eyes at the promoter who brought up a potential fight with Hearn.

White didn’t verbally accept or reject the offer, but made it clear that he was not interested.

“It sounds like they got what they were looking for,” he said when the reporter told him Misfits were hoping to get his reaction to the $20 million offer

Footage of Dana White’s disgusted reaction to a potential $20 million fight with Eddie Hearn quickly went viral on social media.

Fight fans took to the comments to poke fun at the MMA mogul, who was previously willing to box Hearn.

“Dana is scared,” one fan said. While another added: “20 mil and he still said no, that face says it all.”

“Dana actually looks more defeated than mad,” a third person commented.

“He could donate to charity and get a big win, kill two birds yea? But, by the look of his face…he’s shook,” someone else tweeted.

“Dana will talk s— like he’s a tough guy fighter but 0 intent to back it up,” another X user wrote.

“Dana looked disgusted…… but you could see his face doing the math. 20 mil for one fight — capitalism almost beat pride in real time,” a sixth fan said.
