‘The American Gangster’ believes Hearn needs to proceed very carefully regarding legal action against Paul. The former UFC fighter said on his YouTube channel:
Paul’s fixing allegations against Hearn and Matchroom Boxing stem from erraneous scoring on the part of judge Glenn Feldman. While Sonnen accepts that Hearn cannot be directly linked to the issue, he believes it could be damaging for a reputed promoter like him.
According to ‘The American Gangster’, Hearn should sort things out with Paul personally and avoid a potentially ugly battle in court. Sonnen added:

Jake Paul’s allegations against Eddie Hearn
Jake Paul and Eddie Hearn worked together to organize Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano, arguably the biggest fight in women’s boxing history. Taylor, promoted by Hearn, was awarded a split decision win over Serrano in a close contest.
Controversy emerged regarding a wild 97-93 scoring on judge Glenn Feldman’s scorecard. A few months later, Feldman came under criticism again for favoring Matchroom Boxing’s Anthony Joshua in his heavyweight title rematch against Oleksandr Usyk. While Feldman scored the contest 115-113 for Joshua, the other two judges scored in for Usyk, giving him the decision.
Paul called out Matchroom Boxing regarding Feldman’s controversial scoring in a recent interview with iFL TV.
