- Hearn said he messaged White to meet but could not stay due to a fixed flight slot to New York, citing travel constraints.
- The meeting never happened as both promoters were in Las Vegas for separate shows, with Zuffa events at the Meta Apex and Matchroom at the Fontainebleau.
- Despite their feud, Hearn praised the UFC's business model, noting top fighters' disclosed pay relative to event revenues.
- Zuffa Boxing, led by White and backed by Saudi sports figure Turki Alalshikh, has intensified competition with Matchroom and sharpened public barbs.
