'A lot more!' - Hearn lifts lid on Zuffa exodus amid major exits
Zayas vs. Ennis: Watch only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Eddie Hearn has lifted the lid on the Zuffa exodus, admitting the latter will pay Devin Haney "a lot more than double" what he would.
The promotion, backed by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and led by Dana White, have made some major waves across the sport.
After a slow start, they appear to have secured some of the sport's leading talent, with Haney and Shakur Stevenson reportedly on-board.
Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Matchroom supremo Hearn has now outlined potential paydays - as well as scepticism over the project.

"They will pay Devin Haney a lot more than double what I would pay Devin Haney, a lot more than double," he said. "Â These are great fighters.
"But you've got to make the fights. There's a lot of variation to the plan. This was going to be a league, that was the whole premise of the plan.
"There was going to be no governing bodies. Then they got massive kickback from the fighters, [...] ballsed it up and got some of them stripped.
"I don't really think there is a plan. Ultimately, it's not Dana's company. How long will that funding carry [on], and how long will you be up for the battle?
