Aren't they both Brits?
To me, it just sounds like Hearn's looking for another way out of the fight.
Why even poison the well with comments like that?
The notion that Hearn is floating is that if they get twice as much money elsewhere, Bob gets half as much if they don't go elsewhere.
Let's say the Saudi's offered a large enough site fee so that everything together meant the pot to be split was $100m. And let's also say that the fighters agree a 50/50 split (which they did). And let's say the fight if held in the UK meant a pot of $50m. Whatever Arum's cut is of Fury's take, he will end up with half as much if the fight is in the UK than he would with the Saudi deal (using these hypothetical numbers which are there for the purposes of illustration). And, yes, surprise, surprise, it would be half as much for Joshua and therefore Hearn.
Hearn's contention is that nobody will take pay for a job in one place if they can, with no problem, get twice as much pay for the same job elsewhere. That's it in a nutshell. Hence, he is calling bullshlt about Arum's platitudinous claims about having it in the UK being all important to him.
I think the fight should be in the UK, I think it would be wonderful if it is and I think the Saudi regime is despicable and does not deserve to have it. At the same time, I recognise the promoters are in it for the money and it nearly always comes down to the bottom line.

If it comes to pass and we don't see an upset first it 100% belongs in Britain, make solid case for it being the most significant UK fight ever... But money talks of course.

Nash would be surprised if any of this happens. You'd be surprised at how successful Nash is, but Nash thinks you are worthy of respect Stuntman Mike, and a helluva poster. Nash out.
