Hey Eddie, Devin Haney is available on the open and free market. So sign him up for a two fight deal. He wants to fight the winner of Regis Prograis vs Danielito Zorrilla next for the WBC Super lightweight title.

These days just about everyone has turned into a DIVA. Even no name challengers.
Barboza would rather gather rust on the shelf instead taking a chance at a title and get paid at the same time!!
"Smart" move.

This is code from promoters when they don't want a fight that is high risk, low reward. They always say, " oh, that guy wanted to much money", but really happens is they give that guy a really low ball offer and when that other guy says, hey, that's kinda of low, the promoter always comes out saying they wanted to much. Some fighters do this as well, kinda like Fury saying Ruiz wanted 20 million, it's all B.S, while I do believe some fighters do prize themselves out, cough ( Charlo, Andrade, Crawford) most of the time it's promoters or the fighters themselves who want to go in another direction....

Any major fighter that is going to take the biggest fight of his career with five weeks or less to train is going to demand to be overpaid.

Hearn knows this.

Doesn't Eddie overpay everyone he signs to DAZN anyways.
