Matchroom Sport is primarily owned and controlled by the Hearn family, with Barry Hearn as the founder and president, and his son Eddie Hearn playing a leading role. While a minority stake in Matchroom Sport was acquired by Pitch International in 2024, the founding Hearn family retains majority control of the company. Barry Hearn has indicated openness to selling the company but only under the right conditions to protect the legacy, confirming that it remains fundamentally a family-owned business as of 2025.
