Comments Thread For: Hearn: There's No Reason Why Ellerbe, Team Tank Shouldn't Reach Out To Fight Haney

[BoxingIsGreat]

There's nothing to reach out for.

Why does this egg head always talk nonsense?

Haney is already in motion to fight Jojo. They've been going back and forth aggressively. So why even bring up Tank's name to distract?

Haney should be fighting Joseph Diaz Jr. soon. That's what is on that man's plate. Make that fight happen since they've been trash talking each other super disrespectfully.

Haney and Rolly have been trash talking for a while now, as well, but nothing came out of it. The last I heard was JoJo wanted to fight Ryan instead.

Really? They were talking egregiously back and forth. So it's weird that Jojo suddenly wants Ryan now.

Rolly isn't really worth the time, not a big enough star to attract but if Haney goes that route. So be it. To me, it seems like a pointless fight; low reward.

Is Tank still planning to fight in October though?

I read Shakur and Herring are set for a fight in October in Atlanta. Makes me think Gervonta might headline that card.

Gervonta said he's fighting in October. Maybe same date as Loma or a week earlier/later. I'm hoping they match him up with Cruz Gonzalez, the best lightweight PBC has besides Davis himself. Shakur and Herring are with Top Rank. I was hoping for Haney-Rolly as a co-main, since they were talking mad crap to each other.

Can't forget Hunter and Tevin Farmer! horrible move!

The point is though it shouldn't be a horrible move. It's only like that because the others won't play ball and make the fights. I mean why is a fantastic talent like Gervonta division hopping. Because in-house it's limited. So should Devin do the same as he has no in-house to choose from? It's turning boxing into a joke. It's no wonder lots of fans prefer MMA now.

Obviously Tank is doing quite well, so I think Hearn, and Bill Haney are the ones that should be doing the "reaching out!" It is sad to see how awful things have gotten for Haney and Andrade! They can't even get "in-house" fights!

What in-house fights can Hearn do?

[PeepeePoopooMan]

The guy should fight comney, farmer or even fortuna. He needs to stop begging with his email belt

[Sid-Knee]

Yes, he made those to win the media. He knew, as we all did, Haymon wasn’t going to provide DAZN with quality fights that would help them increase the number of subscriptions.

I don’t think k he’s saying that but if he is that’s him asking the other promoters to do his job for them.

Haney is a champion and Hearn’s top LW. Bob, al and Dela 8 ball aren’t responsible for building him.

So Haymon isn't going to let his fighters go to DAZN even though the better deal is over there? But this is Eddie's fault?

Eddie can't make offers to himself on behalf of PBC fighters. So what he needs to do is, ask them to get in touch and make offers to get these fights on for the good of boxing. They won't do so. But this is still Eddie's fault?

Why do you have a negative opinion of other promoters who are just trying to make fights for their platform, but never for Haymon and the PBC? Why is it always everybody else's fault?

[Sid-Knee]

The Davis-Farmer offer came with strings. Hearn isn't Haney's promoter, so he should STFU.

The Davis offer didn't come with any strings. It was a one off offer. Win or lose, he can go back to the shlthole of the PBC cult. Ramirez was given the same offer for the Hooker fight. Only, he actually took the fight. So Ramirez got a huge payday, was in a fight people actually wanted to watch, and unified two titles in the process. For normal people, this was a great idea. If you're abnormal and trying to protect a serious coward though...

[Sid-Knee]

Not really that nothing is ever good enough. It’s that they’re competing and most businesses don’t help a competitor.

It’s also the other promoters realizing Hearn is in a tough spot and using that as leverage, which happens in this business daily.

So you support lots of fights not happening, even though you're supposed to be a boxing fan? All for Al Haymon? Wow, that is some kind of dedication to a man you'll never meet and overrides any logic as a boxing fan. Strange.

Is this all Hearns fault too? Is their refusal to fight on any platform no matter how much the fight should happen for the health of the sport all good for you as a boxing fan? This is what you want and justify? But instead of blaming the ones at fault, it's all Hearn's failure to get extremists to negotiate in good faith?

Right.

[Oldskoolg]

Eddie is right. Also, no reason why Golden boy and Garcia shouldn’t reach out too. On top of that, Eddie maybe should reach out, show some respect to all parties involved and maybe get somewhere, instead of petty name calling and put downs he’s constantly dishing out in his interviews.

Crazy how Haney be having to pressure his mandatories into fighting him after they’ve won eliminators for HIS Title.

Mate, as the young people say, this post was “fiya”
