Comments Thread For: DiBella: Haney's A Man Of His Word; Said He Wanted The Kambosos Fight & He Proved It

[sicko]

Young man should be praise for choosing Legacy over Money in a ERA in which most are choosing Money over Legacy

Of course you got some trolling Losers calling him ****** for taking a "Bad Deal" however the kid is betting on himself. If he Comes out of this Undisputed Champ after this 3 fight Deal, it is a Pot Of Gold potentially waiting for him at the end of this deal. Even if Haney gets Robbed in Australia which a lot of people are predicting (even hoping) will happen, that wouldn't hurt him at all if anything it will raise his profile and popularity even further back here in America

Benefits of taking Risk very young is that you get to bounce back just like Ray Leonard losing to Duran in Canada, Canelo getting Schooled by Mayweather really young and many other examples

I totally understand having to travel to the champ’s backyard in order to achieve legacy.

I even understand accepting a rematch clause (although that fight also being in Australia is poor negotiation).

The commitment to another fight in the deal is nothing to do with Kambosos and is Di Bella using Kambosos’ leverage as unified champion for his own gain, that is beyond the pale.

Calm down, Lou. There aren’t many old guys or second tier talents left to ring the cash register at 135. Devin wants a payday while he can still make weight, before he becomes a mere contender at 140.

His best strength is having the skills to not be hit. Downside: as soon as he tastes the Aussie’s power, he’ll make it a negative fight. Kambo may spend the night in pursuit while being hit with those pitty-pat counters and accurate yet boring sniping.

We’ll see. Maybe Devin will reveal some well-hidden dog. After watching his fights on DAZN, I’m not paying for this.

Signing for 4 fights, 2 in your opponents backyard, earning less money even if you beat him the first time around, then getting the same short end of the deal in the rematch.
On top of that having the same promoter who screwed you for the first 2 fights, still make money off your blood seat, and tears for 2 fights afterwards.
You don't think there's something seriously wrong with that, then quite honestly we have nothing else to talk about.

It's only 1 fight afterward. It's a 3 fight deal. If beats GK he has the rematch and a potential match with Loma. If he beats GK and then move to 140. TR & Dibella have options on his next 2 fight. If he loses to GK TR/DBE still have options on his next 2 fights. Outside of that everything else u said was right.

I don't even get this "Haney choosing legacy over money" crap. As if he had other big money options out there. Without the Kambosos fight he'll most likely be put on the shelf for many months for lack of opponents.

He got a guaranteed purse of $750K in his last fight with Diaz. And he'll most likely get less in his next Gamboa-level opponent with Hearn. What the h**** people are talking about? Legacy over Money? He's getting the same amount as Lomachenko. Are you saying he's worth more than Loma? Why?

I don't think it's about the money these Haney fanboys are angry about. I think it's the deal where he's obligated to fight Loma if he gets past Kambosos. That's what they fear. And they don't like it.

Your absolutely correct it's only one fight if Haney losses to Kambosos, but the mere fact that DiBella added all of these stipulations to the contract tells me that he believes that Haney will not only beat Kambosos in their first fight, but also beat him in the rematch.
Then there is no way that in winning their first fight that Haney should get the challengers share of the purse again, thats just criminal.
On top of all that Haney is then subjected to having this leach (DiBella), still siphoning money from him for 2 more fights.
There is a good chance that Haney will beat Kambosos in both of their fights, and possibly Lomachenko although this is a more difficult feat to accomplish.
Yet if he does win those 3 fights, if he loses in the 4th in wont matter because Dirty Dealing Dibella would've gotten away with his master plan.
I could be wrong about Kambosos losing to Haney, and then it would be just the 1 fight as you said, but the contract implies otherwise.
That said I can't wait to see the fight between these 2 outstanding fighters, may the best man win.
