Devin Haney Did Not Receive Too Much Interest From Matchroom? Possibly Headed Elsewhere?

[rickJen]

Hearn should just let these people go.
He's destroying boxing for paying too much money.

Look at GGG. Signing him up didn't do anything for the sport.
Letting him go could have made his team still led by Loeffler look elsewhere.

If the plan is to now focus more on the global scene and less on the American scene? Then yes, he will start to let fighters like Andrade/Haney go. But Hearn thought Haney had star potential and was one of the best young prospects in the game when he signed him. Giving someone like that 3M a fight is pretty crazy though.

As for GGG, he's still a big name and was a no-brainier signing. The problem is the only reason you even think about giving him 15M a fight was to get the trilogy with Canelo as that would have been a monster subscription driver.

Andrade? Well, Hearn needed to sign someone at that point and it made sense locking up all the MW champs or top MW names.

Matchroom clearly failing in America

[sicko]

I don't think it is anything better for them outside of Eddie Hearn and Matchroom...I seriously doubt PBC and Top Rank even reached out, maybe Bill has tried to reach out to let them know Devin is a Free Agent but I doubt any of them are really pursing Haney and is looking to give him big money with Top Rank already has Teofimo who is #1 at 135 because he beat the man and PBC has Tank Davis who is the biggest Draw at 135 so they don't really NEED Haney is probably what they're thinking

So yeah I think it would be best for the Haney's to Stay with Eddie for now

I don't think he wants to sign with the PBC. Mayweather Promotions tried to sign him a few times and he declined their offer. It is going to be Matchroom or TR in all likelihood. But this man was getting like 3M to fight the likes of Linares. Will TR want to get in another situation where they are giving heavy guarantees for someone that isn't a great draw? TR does have the fights he wants though.

But if he wants the Garcia fight, possibly will sign with GBP? Highly unlikely.

If he wants Tank, then he should get it guaranteed in his contract that he gets Tank within three fights or then is able to go elsewhere or gets an insane purse against another opponent.

he "declined" mayweather promotions offer and then you say he was being overpaid by matchroom(at least i think youre implying that)....do you not see the correlation? ......3 mil for him to fight linares is pretty ridic....who would turn down that kinda deal? nobody........i think DAZN/hearn are no longer in the business of overpaying guys......they started out that way like any upstart would that needed to build something and have some recognition.....just like roc nation tried to do.....boom throw all this capital out there....established names...young prospects we can push...etc....i think those days are over now

i honestly think an affiliation with haymon makes a ton of sense...hes out there in vegas...hes friendly with floyd....looking at his facial structure i used to kid that he was actually floyds illegimate kid(they look alot alike when you look back at young floyd...just haney thicker).......soon they could have a nice little crop from 130-140 of guys like haney, tank, and colbert......and perhaps and affiliation with ennis is on the horizon for haymon too......that wouldnt be bad for any of the parties involved

yeah but think about what pbc could have with tank, colbert and haney? thats a nice little group.....i agree tank is already the biggest draw prob ....but you wanna have depth and some intriguing matchups......tank will be hard up for opponents pretty soon and the sentiment will grow that he needs some real foils......if arum keeps teo and loma away(for business reasons) they need something....having haney vs tank square off while having the winner is a whole different ball game

I suspected this for a while and said it on here: Hearn and DAZN were not sure about their investment in Haney. People saying he should stay with Matchroom, may not realize that Haney may not have a choice. Maybe too pricey for what he actually brings to the table. I'd think teaming up with Floyd would be more natural, since they know each other well.

I think they'll throw out Andrade and Farmer too.

They already dropped Farmer. Also Hunter and Roman.

[Curt Henning]

i dont think haney could go wrong with either pbc or top rank to be honest.....theres opponents over at top rank....but if he comes to pbc theres an opponent there too...and possibly colbert on the come up with give them tank, haney and colbert all around the same division....i also love the possible angle of tank/haney/floyd triangle adding a little ****e potentially

I guess their US takeover failure will be complete after they release the last of the Americans. To be frank, I'm all for it, as long as I don't see Hearn's face on American TV again, ever. It's a great thing we haven't seen him around for a little while now. Stay in the UK.
