Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn revealed plans to represent additional UFC fighters after signing heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to his Matchroom Talent Agency last week, amid growing fighter dissatisfaction with UFC pay and interest from stars like Michael Page and Israel Adesanya. Hearn hinted at a potential 'revolution' in MMA compensation.
UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has hired boxing promoter Eddie Hearn as his new manager, sparking discussions about his compensation. At a London press conference, Hearn expressed astonishment at Aspinall's current earnings, suggesting they should be ten times higher. The move aims to boost Aspinall's profile ahead of his return to the octagon.

UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has signed a commercial and advisory deal with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn's new Matchroom Talent Agency to manage his brand and boost earnings outside the octagon, while remaining contracted to the UFC. Announced on March 5, 2026, the move is influenced by Conor Benn's reported £11m ($15m) Zuffa Boxing deal and underscores MMA fighter pay concerns amid tensions between Hearn and UFC president Dana White.
