Comments Thread For: Haney Reacts To Davis: If I Was Easy Work, He Would Have Fought Me

Sounds like Haney has been told Kambosis is off the table. Why else would he be wasting words on Tank. If he was heading to Australia he wouldn't be giving Davis any air time at all. Loma might be the frontrunner at this point.

This is just my opinion but I think Haney and Tank would be the front runners. Tanks team could probably throw the most money at Kambosos, because Tank has a network that’s all in on him willing to put the fight on PPV. And Haney has DAZN which can offer Kambosos a 3 fight deal, which is the rumor that’s what Kambosos wants. I just don’t think Loma or his team would be willing to match either of those offers so I don’t know how Loma stays in the running, unless Kambosos really wants to fight him.

Gotta go with Haney! Garcia, Tank, and Teofimo, always have something to say about Haney, and yet always have an excuse NOT to fight him! I hope Haney gets the Kambosos fight, so we get a true Undisputed Champion @ 135! Maybe Tank will MAN UP after that?

That is just the fact he should fight him if is that easy

Exactly! If Davis' backers were so confident they'd put the money up for that title fight. It could even have been made instead of Cruz. Obviously they didn't want it. For whatever reason . . .

I'm not a Haney fan but I can't ignore the fact that he is a skilled, agile boxer who would be trouble for anyone who doesn't have a good game plan, to either counter the counter puncher while coming forward or cut the ring off, touch him with straight shots to setup body punches to break him down. Tank has captured the imagination of casual boxing fans because of his KO ratio but we saw how much trouble he had with an undersized Isaac Cruz who should've at least got a draw. The worst thing about that fight is that Floyd may be even more reluctant to put Tank in with the top LWs now after he seriously underperformed in a fight he was supposed to dominate.
Tank is going to have to demand to fight the other top LWs otherwise Mayweather will keep matching him easy as long as gullible fans pay for PPVs in fights where he is a massive favorite.

mouthweather and his little bi**h the paper tank know exactly what would happen if he gets in the ring with Haney, they will never do it. so many people see it now - just look at the comments on the boards around his most recent fight. he is now in a situation where he needs the credible opposition - tickets for the pitbull fight were being sold on Groupon and i understand from someone in vegas that PBC gave away a large number of tickets, so that the arena wouldnt be half empty. the game is over for paper tank, either get into the ring with one of the top guys or be known as a fraud (listen to Andre Wards comments, about paper tank, when he did the Loma-comey fight).
PBC will never put their biggest fraud, the paper tank, in against anyone serious, in any division - they know exactly what would happen to him. almost everyone would see what a fraud he is then. SEE PAPER TANK RUN, that will be the result of any mandatory with anyone serious (I cant recall a more accomplished runner, he has already run from everyone serious in 3 divisions)... to help everyone understand, GO to paper tanks boxrec page. only 2 names which are even recognizable - one way past his prime when paper tank fought him and the other two weight divisions above where he had any achievements. thats all the paper tank can handle. if PBC were confident that he could handle anything else, you can be sure that we would have seen better matchups by now... this needs to be called out. just dont pay for this type of nonsense that PBC puts on most of their cards - its the only way we will ever get the best matchups in boxing....

Your opinion has foundation but money isn't going to be the issue with this one. A lot of people don't know about the workings of boxing in Australia but I will give you a heads up. Last Wednesday...just 3 days out from Christmas...there was a PPV on here in Sydney. It cost $60 and the main event was a fight between 2 ex rugby players that was set over 3 by 2 minute rounds. The "A side" if you like to call him that recieved a purse in excess of 500k. And got given a 20k knockout of the night bonus for not even stopping the other guy..who was so exhausted after 2 rounds he had to be helped to the corner by the ref. A stadium fight here in Sydney would draw 80k people and do massive amounts on PPV regardless of which of the 4 he fought. All I was saying was...if Haney was being set to fight Kambo...he'd be talking about it rather than trying to create beef with Tank to drum up business on that side. As for Tank...he has the back up and resources...but no upsides for Kambosis. He won't come to Australia because Mayweather Promotions has no influence here. Like you said...Tank has the American networks and the Vegas/Mayweather push over there. He's never giving up those advantages in order to chase glory.

Drawing 80k is not going to be easy. Pacquiao vs Horn did less than 60k if I remember correctly, which is still a massive gate. But you can’t underestimate how much money a casino like the MGM can offer as a site fee. Might be enough to entice Kambosos to fighting in America. But your points are definitely valid and I wouldn’t be surprised if Kambosos stayed home and had a fight there. He has a lot of options and a lot of leverage too. Whoever he fights should be a massive payday.

It's self-evident from Davis fighting every other name in the division but Haney, right? Or is this just your old bias flaring up again?
