Eddie Hearn’s reaction suggests he feels the pressure. His usual confidence seems to be replaced by a sense of urgency as ZUFFA gains traction. The feud, while entertaining, highlights a real competition that could redefine how boxing operates.
McGregor’s post was unusual for several reasons. First, the contract appeared to be signed at the White House, an unexpected venue for a fight deal. Second, the contract was labeled as "Fight 1 Of Deal," suggesting a multi-fight agreement. The post quickly attracted attention because it hinted at a high-profile fight possibly involving political or diplomatic significance.
