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

[champion4ever]

Cryan Garcia does not want that work. He and Haney had five tough fights as amateurs and king Cry knows that he can lose bad

Yeah I know. You are right. King Cry was the mandatory challenger for Haney's WBC lightweight title before he ducked him and forced Haney to fight Linares instead.

Eduardo Hearnia begging

Exactly. Trying to be slick here to get his cut without paying for the fight himself. I don't think Haney needs him anymore.

Don’t be skurrred. You think Tank loses to Haney?!

Nah.

Haney hangs out with TMT these days. He wants Rolly Romero.

[Cobra Curry]

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.

Hmm. I mean if those offers were accepted, I think most of us agree he'd have been overpaying. Can't really do much more than that as a promoter.
Then you've got fighters saying we only fight on x and y network. You offer to send your good over there and the story changes again.

It's like nothing's ever good enough.

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

I believe he actually is, only Haney isn't signed to DAZN at present.

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.

Why does Lomachenko have to fight Commey instead of Haney? Why do Diaz/Garcia need to fight each other and not Haney for the actual WBC title? Why does Tank have to fight a PBC fighter over Haney?

Sorry, but if they wanted to fight Haney, they could, simple as that.

a) Because Arum said so. b) Because Oscar said so. c) Because Floyd said so. That being the case, Hearn can't afford to wait for someone to "reach out to him," he needs to reach out to them! He should talk to Oscar, not the media. Now if Oscar won't take his calls, then go to the media and say that! Same with the other 2! If not, they'll wait, and eventually Haney will leave MatchRoom, and go to PBC, or TR, or GBP! Simple as that! Hearn better work fast, because it's not looking good!

As far as I know he's no longer signed with Matchroom and is a free agent. They are negotiating the Rolly fight with Mayweather Promotions now without any Hearn involvement.
