DiBella Said:
Catch the entire interview here:
Haney’s former promoter Eddie Hearn claimed Haney was being treated unfairly heading into the Kambosos fight. Hearn elaborated that if he put on the fight, Haney would have been in a much better position. He was also critical of DiBella and Top Rank’s promotion of the fight.
Hearn maintained that Haney would return to Matchroom Boxing after the Kambosos fight. Bob Arum, however, claimed that the fight with Kambosos Jr. is the first of a four-fight deal with Top Rank.
Eddie Hearn hasn’t made a lot of friends in the United States
DiBella is not the only promoter who has criticized the way Eddie Hearn operates. Hearn recently became embroiled in a high-profile battle with Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions.
Ellerbe accused Hearn of wasting over a billion US Dollars of DAZN’s money without making a mark in America. Hearn replied by calling Ellerbe a nobody.
Eddie Hearn then went on to say that he would like to sign Gervonta Davis in order to spite Leonard Ellerbe.
Hearn said:

Bob Arum of Top Rank promotions has also taken exception to Hearn:
Hearn has said Bob Arum and other US promoters who have criticised him are ‘irrelevant’ and ‘washed’. Hearn believes that his rivals are jealous of him for making a mark in the US.
Before the launch of Matchroom Boxing USA, Hearn used similar language to refer to Deontay Wilders’ manager, Shelly Finkel. Hearn and Finkel were unable to come to an agreement for a bout between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder
Whilst it is rare to see major US promoters agree on anything, it is clear that they are all united in their disdain for Eddie Hearn.
