      To me, it's Haney's way of saying, "Go away little midget. I'm not interested. Can't even make 135 anymore. I'm focused on moving up." Then ended up saying, "Okay, I'll give you 25 split." End of story.
      The guy is not excited to be going back down to 135, especially if he beats Prograis. Look at him. He's a welterweight!

        I don't know the details of what was offered to Shakur but a 75/25 split is insulting for a fight of this caliber and that's the only fact that I know.

          "It was the most money he would’ve ever made with all his fights put together with that 25%. That’s a fact.”
          This is what I was wondering about in another thread. If this is true, that's a duck to me. Turning down his biggest payday and a shot at all the belts. It will be interesting to see who he fights instead and how much he makes.

            When Shakur revealed that Haney offered him 25%, I thought it was disrespectful! When Shakur offered Frank Martin 25%, I had to reconsider! It's not a good look for Shakur! Hindsight is 20/20!

              And it's not surprising Mr. Eddie Hearn joining the 25% split chorus. He'll be one of the beneficiaries in one way or the other being a long lost dad to Haney.

                Fight is far from happening because of Haney's weight issues. He'll likely stay at 140.

                  That's never been confirmed. Martin admitted being offered $1 million. Hard to believe Stevenson taking $3 million for an average fight being held on a Thursday! Do you? Is that how generous the Bobfather has become for his top fighters?

                    Shakur should have taken the fight.

                      It's a bogus offer brotha. There's nothing to take as explained by this fellow:

                      But yeah, I'd like to see Shakie call his bluff and let's see if Hanky's willing to move back down to 135.
