Comments Thread For: Team Haney on Kambosos Fight: Let's Stop The Narrative It Only Can Happen in Australia

[Toffee]

Stop saying what you don’t know most those matches were played behind closed door

70% capacity. 80% for finals.

Melbourne is past the peak now. There'll be 100k at AFL games in April.

What’s crazy? Kambosos wants a big fight in Australia. He just beat Teo the undisputed champion of the division.Haney and his dad said they were willing to go to Jupiter for the fight. Now they don’t wanna go to Australia. Cool, lomachenko will go to Australia Ryan garcia will go and they are both better fighters than haney. Haney has done nothing in the sport to warrant a big purse or to dictate venues. I get it Devin is your son and you want the biggest possible paydays but if it’s such an easy fight like u say why not just go down there take slightly less money collect all the belts and raise the fee on the next fight? Which you can have in America in front of both of devins fans lol.

Mate, the clue was in my post so you clearly don't get it. I live in Australia. I'd love Kambosos to have a big fight here. I couldn't give a stuff about what Haney wants.

But no-one here cares about boxing. Loma isn't a star. Haney isn't a star. Kambosos isn't a star.

Those fights belong in places where people give a **** about boxing.

I predict he'll have a traditional homecoming fight. Not a big one.

Just No. You are thinking of last year

I'm saying what I saw - on the show courts the matches were watched by unmasked spectators seating close to each other in what looked to be full stadiums. The final was at 80% capacity and the semi finals at 65% capacity. Rest of matches at 50%.

If the can get 50% capacity in an 80,000 or 60,000 stadium at 50% capacity that means 30-40,000 spectators.

A pipe dream. Nobody needs to fight Ryan. He's a nonentity. Can't even make to the agreed fights. He's feminine and fragile. Never even won one of these a dime a dozen belts. He comes down with mental issues at the sound of even an interim belt.

Oh.. Ryan is the biggest money fight for anyone? Really? He himself made 300k the fight before Campbell. Never headlined a PPV because he has no real fans. Twitter doesn't matter. Ryan is really nothing. Even Haney is more successful than him, boxingwise.

Stop the idiotic narrative. Enter the real champion, Gervonta Davis, one of the best fighters in the world, with a huge boxing fan following, not twitter teenagers. Davis stopped acknowledging Ryan. Ryan Garcia hasn't done crap except beating that UK bum. Mind you, Campbell couldn't even win a bogus belt in all his pro career, no matter what he did. Despite Hearn paying bribes to position him.

Screw Ryan.

You said all that, now tell me Ryan Garcia wouldn't be Tanks biggest fight of his career and bring in more PPV buys than any other fight he's had. Fact of the matter is Ryan has a fan base, it may be 14 year old girls who think he's good looking but he has one and is still a big fight for anyone at 135

Maybe Eddie Hearn or whoever is promoting Devin Haney, should suggest this fight happens on neutral ground. But the issue with having American fighters on neutral ground? Is that their fans do not travel, like European fans or potentially Australia fans would etc

I think fighters are dubious of fighting in Australia. America is a big place, as Bernard Hopkins once stated? Fighting in state to state is like traveling to a different country.

It is clear Kambosos Junior does not want to fight in america for his first defense.

Haney will just have to take a risk, and go for it. I doubt he will be messed about, he has a big team behind him.

Kambosos has been in the away corner fir his last few fights. He deserves a fight at home .

[BendOver]

Kambosos is the champ there lad, he calls the shots. If he wants the fight in Oz then it will be in Oz. If not he doesn’t have to fight you

I do understand your point, and of course his point. But the issue is health, and money. He can fight Haney for the most money, in another country, beat him up, and waited until his country gets the covid under control and fight there.

[elfag]

haney is afraid that if the fight is reasonably close he cant win a decision. he knows he has no KO power. and he has low confidence he can dominate Kambosos.

Haney seems shook that he will have to take some risks and challenges in his career. These guys these days are coddled and overpaid. What are haney's top 5 wins? if you listed them it would look like a ***ing joke.

Hes been a pro for 6 years now. Hes 23. Canelo already fought mosley, trout and Mayweather at that age.

Oh Jesus here we go again another one of the grievance factory. Hey genius every civilization known to the beginning of man has killed, enslaved, exploited, ****d and robbed every other damned civilization in existence. So get off your high horse and welcome to the 21st century. Lol capitalism has enriched and brought BILLIIONS out of poverty BILLIONS. Since you like commies comrade Lenin, pol pot, Kruschev nahhhh they didn’t kill millions they were peaceful society makers. Can always spot a freedom hating leftie.

GTFO here with your hogwash. The countries living in squalor in this century CHOOSE to do so.

“Billions out of Poverty”? Clearly an uneducated loudmouth know-it-all.
In 1990, the world population was 5 billion and even less in 1980.
So which “billions” of people got enriched?

Your world revolves around your country I bet. There are over 200 nations on this planet. It’s even silly to teach you that.
The US, UK and France are the neo-colonialists so we are talking about contemporary times while you’re stuck with your myopic view.

The world is bigger than the US doofus

Are you that dense that you don’t understand the world has refreshed its billions? Uneducated? Sorry Charlie, unlike many that frequent this forum I obtained a Bachelor’s in Business with a major in economics. But please do go on.

Don’t go on preaching to me about “The US.” I’ve travelled the world from the age of 17-35. Through my time in The United States Marine Corps to business and personal travel, I’ve seen, stayed in and frequented many. Each impoverished nation has the same things in common; a corrupt Government and power structure. This is nothing new and until its citizens take action and change it then I guess the continued finger pointing by those within and you can continue. Save me the victimhood mentality. If you are unable to lift yourself out of poverty in the 21st century that is because YOU chose to. Speaking of the US (and other countries) collectively have dumped TRILLIONS of dollars into impoverished countries (including private donations which outpace Government aid) and how has that worked out for everyone involved? It hasn’t because as I said before it is CHOSEN to continue living within the conditions that persist.
