Comments Thread For: Haney, Concerned With Ramadan, At Odds With Top Rank Over Lomachenko Fight Date

Exactly, he hasn't.

He fought in the March and April timeframe multiple times in 2016 and 2017. I don’t know when Ramadan was then but he has fought during this time period.

You don't have to wait for his answer. Just find out when Ramadan was held each year since he turned pro (it's not the same dates every year) then look at his BoxRec. I don't know the answer by the way, but I doubt Boro does either.

Yeah, the way the poster threw it out there with such confidence, I just assumed it was a fact and he would have those exact fights at his disposal.

The money for a Haney loma fight is coming from espn. ESPN is contributing virtually none of the pot for usyk fury. The money for the latter is coming from the Middle East and the uk.

If its coming from ESPN then that is Top Rank, ESPN would not have the fight if Arum didn't promote Fury.

Ramadan doesn't fall the same time each year.

You asked what the difference was. I explained it to you. ESPN is footing the bill for loma Haney. It is an expensive fight for free tv. They do not want to compete against March madness. While the fury fight may be shown on espn, espn is not paying much for it, as the money is coming from the Middle East. That is the difference between the two. Go on thinking it is because arum doesn’t like black people though.

When did he fight during Ramadan?

Burns,Aispuro, Moran and Linares right after Ramadan

This is comedy after the fight with Ortiz loma said I’ll do anytime any place you want you’re the undisputed champ. Arum to fight hype that the fight would happen before the mid point in March now this. Loma was ready and able to fight Kambosos without tune up etc.. so from October (haney’s last fight) to may is close to 8 mos

I don't know is there different dates in different countries but this is what my countrys google tells:

2019 ramadan was may 5 to june 3 and he had fight may 25

2021 ramadan ended may 12 and he fought Linares may 29

In 2017 he had fight on last day of ramadan

Somebody correct me if you know better!

Haney vs Loma should be the undercard for Usyk vs. Fury.
