Comments Thread For: Haney Admits End is Near at 135, But May Delay Weight Move To Face Tank or Stevenson

[Rebelrbg]

As much as I would like for Haney to fight Tank after Loma, I don't know if Bill Haney will do the negotiations in a way that the fight can be made next. Bill wants everyone to bow down to them because Devin has the belts, but Haney is not even as big of a draw as Shakur yet. Maybe he will gain some traction if he beats Loma, but he still couldn't come into negotiations for a Tank fight demanding the bigger split on PPV and purse.

Of course, Tank can't demand a rehydration clause, because Devin is the champion and he can barely make 135 as it is. But, the way Bill looks at Devin from a business standpoint, is not what the numbers say and not how promoter's see him, because they are into making money and the bottom line when it comes down to it. I hope it happens next, but Bill will have to do something differently than how he talks and acts.

If Haney truly wants to be P4P #1 and all this other sh** he talks about, he should fight Tank or Stevenson before he moves up. Both those guys are elite fighters in their prime, he’d get massive respect for beating either of those guys, however I think he loses to both.

I swear Haney must have fondled you or something

This is the wise move but maybe not the money move!

As long as those three fighter's remain undefeated there'll be money for them to fight no matter what weight division they find themselves in.

I can’t win with you Haney/Loma fans.

I’ve got Loma fans suggesting I’m a Haney fanboy and Haney fans suggesting I’m a hater.

He wants to talk the talk and not walk the walk. If Haney actually wants to be recognised as P4P #1 which he regularly whines about, he has to beat the the elite guys in a their prime like Shakur or Tank, not a 35 yr old past prime Lomachenko. Is that really unreasonable?

Presuming Haney wins,
Legacy move is Tank & Stevenson but wouldn't the ppv money move be go up, get a belt & Garcia. None of them touch Garcias numbers as just proven. Tank didn't even argue.

Nobody will fight Haney if he has no belts. If he beats Loma, he would be mad to leave 135 until he has had the Tank payday.

Tank is kinda protected honestly don't see him vs Loma til Loma is shot I do see him vs Shakur only if it's within the next fight or 2 anything much after then Shakur will mature he's the better slicker boxer, whos still growing. That would be a recipe to sells relevancy though take in Shakur next get the win early create a trilogy over the yrs thru 140 probably will lose then. Yet in the meantime fight Loma 2 fights after Shakur when aged out then take on Haney if around

Yeah, so when Tank doesn't fight Haney, it's Haney's dad's fault. Got it

[Bronx2245]

Don't do it Champ! Especially if Teo beats Taylor! It's time to move up!

I hope not, but from what I've gained from hearing him talk all over every boxing YouTube channel, Bill is going to go into negotiations with both Tank and Shakur demanding bigger splits and A-side concessions. He may be able to get that with Shakur because he's new to the division, and hasn't had a PPV fight. But with Tank, especially after the numbers and money generated in his last fight, there's no way he gets that when Haney can't sell out even small venues. I just want it to happen, hopefully everyone will handle the business thinking realistically.
