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

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

Look I would LOVE to see Haney on PBC if possible but PBC seem to do business just a little different, I don't think they will make him a huge offer with guarantees or anything but they will gladly give him the opportunity to make the most money possible and platforms to further build up his brand

Wouldn't even consider Top Rank and ESPN, they not even doing much with Shakur Stevenson

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

Exactly. Also, don't forget Cruz Gonzalez. If you are a belts guy, he's ranked number 2 by the IBF and 3 by the WBA.

Matchroom clearly failing in America

It's not surprising. The combined power of TR/PBC was always going to present a huge obstacle. Every American fighter should be wary of how long they spend with Matchroom.

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

I mean didn't say why Haney did or did not go with Matchroom over Mayweather Promotions, just that he did. PBC and Mayweather Promotions have tried a few times to sign him and he has declined their offer.

And Ellerbe just tweeted this yesterday:

They didn't get him any fights so he shouldn't wanna stay

right...im just saying....its prob because the hearn offer was too good to pass up....and the floyd offer was probably more realistic....i mean why wouldnt u go with a guy who is throwing money around to build his american "product" on a startup app? DAZN and hearn were printing money....to me i think that probably had something to do with it....

imo that ellerbe tweet was in response to whether or not haney would take less than 3 mil to fight tank right now.....i think if haney were to sign on with haymon and mayweather promotions that might be a different story and something they might be interested in....they could bring haney along and really build that one up......theres also the floyd/haney/tank stuff that was kinda getting juicy for a minute and that could add to it

not saying youre wrong....but ellerbe prob aint about to be out here like "yeah man we love haney we want to sign him" in public....thats not really how they do business....they legit may have no interest...but id have to think if they could get a realistic deal done ...a multi year or fight deal with haney and build him vs tank up over the next year or two they would be interested....

[SCEN3RY]

I don't see why matchroom wouldn't sign him. But if they can't give him the money he's asking for then his best career choice is probably to stay a free agent.

There you have it. Now Haney can legitimately fight on any network against anyone.
