And Hearn fears it will have an impact on the younger audience who may not be so well educated on the boxing legend’s unrivalled career and skills.

He told DAZN: “This never felt comfortable for me, the person this looked worse on than anybody – and he probably doesn’t care – is Floyd Mayweather.

“He looked quite terrible. If you’re a young fan, you see Floyd Mayweather last night you go, ‘He was the best ever?

“I know that Logan Paul was hugging around, but I dunno, I always said from the outside it was a bad look for the sport.

“I don’t mind Jake Paul against Tyron Woodley, he’s taking the sport seriously. They’re on a similar level.”

Hearn has dabbled in the world of celebrity boxing after promoting the rematch between Paul and online rival KSI in 2019.

As a result, he was sure not to slam the pay-per-view spectacle but was shocked with the amount of fans who attended.

Hearn explained: “What’s happened to the world? I didn’t stay up to watch, I woke up in the night to check my Twitter.

“I couldn’t believe how few tickets they sold. It’s kind of weird. I’m sure it performed well on pay-per-view but it looked like there was nobody there.

“That was my first thought. I just saw some clips and I’m like, ‘What has happened?’

“It caused some interesting debate. I saw Ricky Hatton say he was quite appalled.

“Being a promoter I’ve learned not to criticise too badly because you never know what you’re going to do in the future.”
