He said: &#8216;The ones that understand the bigger picture and the marketing side of sport get it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But, a lot of them are very unhappy about it. They feel like it&#8217;s very unfair. They&#8217;re saying I&#8217;ve worked my entire life, I&#8217;ve been boxing since I was six. But, as far as I am concerned, I don&#8217;t care. Tough s*** really.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It doesn&#8217;t work like that. This guy has built his profile, his business and his following to a point where he has earnt to right to do whatever he wants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I don&#8217;t agree with the whole, it&#8217;s not fair, it&#8217;s taking opportunities away from boxers. I like to say, put it over there. It&#8217;s an entertainment format and we are keeping the sport great over here.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Hearn also shared his thoughts on whether Misfits was dangerous given the fact the fighters have very little boxing experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Matchroom promoter said: &#8216;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s dangerous. I don&#8217;t think any of them are dangerous enough. When you have two people who can&#8217;t fight, you can&#8217;t really hurt each other can you.
