Comments Thread For: Devin Haney on Ryan Garcia: We're in Negotiations, It Could Very Much Be What's Next

tank isnt a real fighter. everyone knows that by now. its been 6 years. nothing is going to change. tank is going to do his own lil figths in his own relegation league.

I mean what fans say in this site have nothing to do with what fights are being made out there. Who would have thought the Haney's were gunning for Prograis? Why not Taylor, Ramirez, even Commey or Pedraza will do for a debut fight at 140. I perfectly understood the DAZN connection and the Haney's cozy relationship with Hearn. Point is it's all up to these fighters, managers, fathers, promoters on what fights they want next, not what fans in this site want. There are too many moving parts at play, even a trainer can stop a fight from happening.

Who is praising Tank? And Prograis is a much more credible opponent than Ryan Garcia. How many world titles has Ryan Garcia won? How many has Prograis won? Haney went from fighting the unified champ at 135, to Loma, to the champion who had been the longest established fighter in the division in Prograis. So fighting Ryan would actually be a step down for Haney.

I know that's why that lame of Devin Haney, he fought 35 year old Loma, 34 Year old Regis, and now wants to box an instagramer. An Instagramer who was already destroyed by a cherry picker Tank who needs rehydration clause.

cruz might not be a social media diva but he is mexican so that alone will bring in the numbers. tank is not a bum either, so tank vs cruz will do "good" numbers so this fight wont really show you how big of a star tank is.

I'm not sure if its true, but according to wikipedia the Tank vs Ryan Garcia did over 1 milion PPV. The four PPV before that he averaged in the 200k range.

Against Isaac Cruz, Tank is definitely not going over 1 million PPV...in fact I don't even expect 500k. Something in the 300k will be "good" numbers for him I guess, but will certainly be no where near the impact of Cryan.

Say what you want about Haney, you got to respect the fact that he's creating his own legacy. Super disciplined dude that lives an breathes boxing. .

100%. Its lame to hate on a cat like this out there doing the damn thing. Hes out there making the biggest fights he can. He's fighting for belts. He's doing the sh^t most ppl wish their favorite fighter was doing instead of talking about A side sh^t or sides of the street all the time.

Easy win and a huge paycheck. Something is wrong with Haney if he doesn’t jump on this one.

not doing over 1mil for cruz no way.. and i was not trying to say it will do that much.. but tank vs cruz will not be a flop. cruz has the mexican crowd behind him and when a mexican fighter goes up against a top fighter in that division, the mexicans will show up for it. i will say anywhere from 500-700k.

Good for Haney if he gets that fight. Ryan is the cash cow at 135, at least for now. I think that's a terrible fight for Ryan though. He'd have a way better chance against Rolly, and that would set up a rematch against Tank. Both of those fights will sell way better than Haney, who seems to have a negative effect on putting butts in seats. Only managed 50K buys v Prograis. Even worse than Andrade.

I'm guessing it was a typo and you meant 140. But either way I agree that Ryan should fight Rolly first where he has a solid chance for a belt. In the mean time Haney somehow manage a fight with Teo or Matias whichever looks easier for him and try to unify. Haney may be boring as hell but credit to him he is more willing than most other champions of that area to take on other belt holders.

Then an even bigger cash grab of a three belt unification match of Ryan vs Haney. Tank is not coming up to 140 to face anyone, especially not Haney so forget that.

Yep, good catch, thanks.
