Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: Big Fights Can Be Made If You Truly Want Them

[Walexhris]

Before the post I have posted above, I was gonna say it's a slave contract.
Too ****** for even Haney. Not sure if it's even equitable or legal.

The whole thing stinks of crap.

The bold: ****** one he set. I don't see any bravery in that. Just idiotic.

That's what happens when you listen to the opinions of fans, I think that's Haney's kryptonite.....it u

No.....he didn't price himself out, be priced himself down.....you wouldn't take the deal Haney took

Haney dared to be great, if he wins doors will open from him. Plus he had no where to go, nobody was signing him and nobody was in a rush to fight him for big business. At this stage of his career this is the best path and by luck he is able to capitalize on it.

Bob Arum said that Devin Haney signed with the wrong promoter.

And sure enough Haney could never get the big fight until Arum had a piece of his action.

Unpaid fighter club sticking up for Bob Arum. Do you think Arum treats his fighters better than Dana? I think its 6 one way and a half a dozen the other. But i tend to lean towards Dana as who I''d rather compete under.

I am just happy to know they are fighting. Covid cancellations, chickens who can't cross a road, European wars, Finally a fighter makes a fight happen. Thanks Haney, Kambsos, and whoever made it happen. Looking forward to it.

Made me chuckle when the writer said:

"Haney was previously signed to a long term contract with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, who has an exclusive content deal with DAZN, but he decided to become a free agent last summer."

It's general knowledge Haney wanted to stick with Eddie Hearn, but there's no new contract for him to sign. So there's no decision to be made. How can you decide for a non-existent offer? So silly.

He took the Kambosos fight because there's nothing else for him. He could be looking for a year-long layoff.

Yip. And the fight only got made because Haney isn't signed with any promoter! Hearn has already confirmed that, if he was Haney's promoter, he would not have agreed to those terms!

I'm not sticking up for Bob Arum, I'm criticizing him. Trying to point out how slimy it is that Haney was shut out of the belt picture until Arum could own a piece of him.

Devin is right , if these big name fighters insist on a fight it will happen.

I won't follow this soft saga. It's a waste of time. It'd be good if this fight never even happens.

I see Kambosos as a bum and Haney as an ordinary fighter. They should be contenders. Kambosos wouldn't make my top 10 current best lightweights and Haney could be my number 6, if I had a list. What's the intrigue? Screw these fake belts.

Neither Haney nor this bum represent the elite of boxing, unless you are a newbie, or a dummy.

Boxing has become too soft.

I love how you wrote this with Tank Davis as your profile picture. The irony is amazing.

Kudos to Haney for taking as sh-tty a deal as ever seen for a chance at glory.

How is a +/- 3M + shares in a pack stadium a s-h-i-t-t-y deal when your best pay day to date is around 700,000 ... I hope , more fights would be dealt like that... A side vs B Side... Those who can draw vs those who can't .... Haney won't draw a lemming in his backyard...
