That is the era now with these boxers. They name drop and when they actually start talking they price themselves out. Then the promoters will try to spin it like the other fighter didn't want the fight. Haney is not worth that much and he is becoming a boring fighter that can't punch.
This what happens when DAZN came in overpaying guys to make a splash and Haymon puts crap fights like Tanks last one and Thurman’s comeback/showcase fight with two guys coming off losses on PPV.
Anyone with a hint of a good win thinks they are stars when they don’t bring in the money to justify it.
That’s why people should never believe anything on face value. Everybody calls out fighters that supposedly want. Doesn’t mean they actually want to. They just make a stupid demand behind the scenes when they know it’ll never happen but in public it looks like they wanted it.
Say what you want about Teofimo Lopez, he truly wanted the Loma fight, chased the fight and took it for less money with no crowd because he believed he could win and he did. It’s all gone a bit downhill since but that’s not the point. He’s shown he has way more about him than Haney, Tank etc..
I give Teo credit for fighting Loma, but as I recall it was looking shaky until Loma agreed to lower his purse to top up Teo no?
Regardless, no complaints because the fight got made, thats the thing, I don't care what someone asks for during negotiating, as long as it gets made.
I've never heard complaints about Loma asking for too much or demanding massive sums for a certain fight, funny that.
How realistic is that number though?
I don't know Lomachenko's purses off the top of my head.
And I am certain that Haney hasn't made or doesn't make that much either.
Anyone have information for that? How much did Linares, Nakatani, and Commey get for Lomachenko?
Loma made 750k against Commey.
He clearly saw something that spook him in the Loma/Teo fight. That's when it all started. All of a sudden he wants no part of Loma anymore because Vasily lost, according to him. Then Gamboa and Linares were more deserving of his attention.
Nah I don't think he'll ever fight Lomachenko even if you offer him $10 million.

Loma is a mega fight ,5 million is peanuts .
its really not. loma and lopez made less than 5 million combined. the only way haney could get 5 million for loma is if dazn put that money up...they have not, in fact they have put up zero offers to fight loma. just a lot of talk. haney knows top rank would never put that money up. its essentially just saying i dont want to fight right now. if you know lomas promoter wont put that money up and you yourself arent making any offers how does the fight happen?

Maidana fought Floyd in the first fight and was given $1 million.
And this is the PPV king we're talking about.
Loma is nowhere near that and you're asking for $5 mil?
No wonder even Floyd is scratching his head.
so why isnt dazn giving him the 5 million he wants? this has nothing to do with loma cause dazn could easily give him what he wants pbc style but its because they dont want him to fight loma right now. that was never in their plans. they are star building. too risky. haney knew it thats why he was free to run his mouth saying duck duck duck but he was the one ducking all along and rightfully so since he wasnt ready and he knew it just like dazn knew it. their plan was to build his brand, just a shame they had to try and disparage a real fighter to do it. haney should apologize and retire in shame
Yep it was clear as day all along and I'd bet Loma barely even heard of Stankey.
Manager: "Oh there some guy called Stankey that's calling you out"
Loma: "Yeah Whatever make a deal and lets get it on"
Manager: "We got you Teo"
Loma: "Sure"
---------------------------
Now the floyd nuthuggers coming out of the woodwork calling Loma a ducker after he clowned all their favorite fighters. Turns out Stankey asked for 5 mill LMAO
This is a lie. Haney was a mandatory, so he would've been entitled to a mandatory split. If he overpriced himself , it would've gone to purse bid.
A point so many like to shoot past so hey can make Haney the bad guy for Loma dropping the belt and avoiding him.

This is for the December fight bud. Not a year or so ago. He fought Commey instead of Haney because Haney didn't want it.
these guys are cowards. its a price out, they cant guarantee 5 million. if you want the fight and believe you are a draw then take a lower gaurantee with a bigger part of the PPV revenue. oh of course there will hardly be any ppv revenue because no casual has any idea who the fuk haney is.

Rumor has it Teo asked for 10 Million to fight Haney as well.. These young guys are just delusional
