DeGale, Hearn react to Mayweather's post-fight speech

By Daily Sports on January 19, 2017

James DeGale and his promoter Eddie Hearn have expressed their disappointment at Floyd Mayweather’s in-ring antics after the Badou Jack fight last weekend.

Mayweather, Jack's promoter, claimed "this is the second time in a row Badou Jack has got a bad decision" in the wake of the majority draw for the IBF and WBC super-middleweight titles.

Asked if Mayweather's speech was disrespectful, DeGale exclusively told Sky Sports: "100 percent, it's all about Floyd. He's got a big ego, and he loves the limelight.

"He chats rubbish, don't listen to a word he says. He said he needs to stick with his fighter. Badou Jack probably thinks he's crazy.

"It's the Floyd Mayweather show."

Hearn added: "I got some flak - they said I should jumped over the top of him!

"It's a difficult one because you have to give him respect, because he is Floyd Mayweather, but at the same time he does talk some rubbish sometimes.

"To say the fight was a robbery; he should know better.

It's a difficult one because you have to give him respect, because he is Floyd Mayweather, but at the same time he does talk some rubbish sometimes.

Eddie Hearn

"It's hard to criticise him because of what he's achieved. I thought it was unfair to DeGale."

Mayweather also poured cold water over the idea of a DeGale v Jack rematch, claiming his man "has got too big for the 168lbs - we had plans after this fight, moving up to light-heavyweight". (skysports.com)
