Comments Thread For: Hearn on Trying To Re-Sign Haney: Devin's Very Expensive; We Would Offer Him Regis Prograis

[STREET CLEANER]

None of the top fighters are calling Prograis out. He is high risk low reward type of fighter. Catterall and Matias have mentioned that they want Prograis and that is it. I don't know why because Taylor showed that he can be beat while taking a beating in the process.

My advice to Eddie is to keep losing money on Canelo by overinflating his worth; With all these hopeless, limited and overmatched Euro bum opponents who have a very little to no chance of defeating him.

Not only are boxing fans tuning him out but also the casual fans too. They are tired of paying all of their extra hard earned cash on their DAZN subscriptions for his mismatches.

Exactly right. If Hearn thinks he’s going to boost DAZN’s US footprint by relying on overpriced PPVs for a depreciating asset (Canelo), moderately interesting women fighters (Baumgardner), boring flyweights and overrated guys like Prograis, Berlanga and Pacheco, he’s deluded - and especially when DAZN’s subscription prices keep creeping up. If Hearn has a budget big enough to sign “who cares” fighters and fly large traveling parties of Matchroom fighters to boxing cards they aren’t even fighting on, he should have enough money to sign Haney and give the US DAZN audience someone worth watching.

Doesn't matter, whatever Eddie offers it won't be enough. Devin Haney is fighting the Taylor/Teo winner

I'm hoping Taylor wins that fight because if Teo wins, he's gonna fight mandatories for the next 2 or 3 years. I'm tried of that guy

Haney might find himself in the same predicament that "No Pay Cut" Crawford did, who the big promoters weren't exactly rushing to sign when he left TR.

What was TR paying Haney that makes him too expensive? How many ppvs did loma/haney do?

DAZN aren't gonna let Eddie pursue Haney with some big offer after they sank all that money into him and saw no ROI the first time around. Hear is more-or-less saying in that interview that they can't afford him.

hearn and co. could have made all these fights Haney has fought since he left. They didn't want to accept the marketplace money and couldn't demand much (as Haney had zero belts), so they abandoned him. They may have overpaid for Haney at the time, and didn't have faith he would be where he is now. Haney's own courage to accept less and bet on himself has him where he is. The hearn and co. would not give him that support when he needed it ....

Hopefully Haney understands the implications.
