Hearn said the number was presented to his side as a part of negotiations, but he made clear he doesn’t accept it at face value, particularly for a 10-round bout he believes would typically command far less.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you wish to get sucked into the undeniable fact that someone would pay $15 million for a 10-round fight, where it\u2019s probably value one million dollars. You might be probably the most important idiot on the planet,\u201d Hearn said to Ariel Helwani.<\/p>\n

He added that his team will seek documentation to verify whether the deal was truly structured as a one-fight agreement with no future options attached. Hearn indicated that verifying those details is now a priority, with further motion possible if the terms differ from what was represented.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s not the reality, there\u2019ll be a significant problem,\u201d Hearn said, referring to the necessity for transparency across the reported figure.<\/p>\n

Hearn said the figure was relayed to Matchroom during discussions across the fight, which required them to think about matching the offer. He questioned whether the reported amount reflects a standalone deal or a part of a wider agreement, adding that his team will review the main points once disclosure is provided.<\/p>\n

The comments come as Benn\u2019s promotional situation stays under scrutiny following his recent fight, with questions continuing over the structure and value of the agreement that secured his appearance.<\/p>\n
