Floyd Mayweather promoter tells Eddie Hearn he doesn't know "what the f*** he's doing"

Floyd Mayweather promoter Leonard Ellerbe has hit out at rival promoter Eddie Hearn, claiming he "doesn't know what the f*** he is doing".

Hearn has a deal with streaming service DAZN which showcases his Matchroom Boxing stable around the world, including venturing into the United States. The British star has been promoting high-profile events across the pond including Canelo Alvarez's defeat to Dmitry Bivol and Katie Taylor's victory over Amanda Serrano.

But Ellerbe has continued his feud with Hearn, accusing him of having "no knowledge" of the US market and has claimed his rival promoter wants to be bigger than his fighters. "He has come over to the United States to take over boxing with a $1billion budget and what he has done is come over without any knowledge of the market," Ellerbe told Showtime.
