Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Sr. On Devin Haney: "Once You Get Away From That Jab, He's F------ Dead"

If what you are saying is true and I have no doubt that it is. Then why was Bill Haney spotted at the Lopez/Taylor fight propositioning Teofimo Lopez, Sr for a title shot against his son?

Teofimo Lopez, Sr immediately priced themselves out of the fight by demanding $20Mil. That doesn't sound like someone who is eager to make a fight to me. As a boxing fan; That fight would be a dream come true.

Teo's father is a lunatic...what he said to Bill Haney was nothing short of (go F&*% yourself) and he did the same thing with Ryan Garcia.

Who knows? Perhaps, I am wrong but Sr sounds like a man who doesn't fully believe in his son's ability. I know they ducked both Prograis and Matias. I can understand them ducking Matias because he is too low reward and high risk. However, to duck Regis Prograis; That was just a plain duck to me.

I would love to see it. This is an amazing fight. Please make it happen. Please make it happen.

Bill Haney set that up and he got the soundbite he was looking for but make no mistake, these guys have history, they go back and forth. A while back the Haneys were supposed to have a meeting to negotiate a fight with Teofimo and neither Devin or Bill bothered to showed up. Again, these guys have history and all this back and forth is about gamesmanship for a future showdown, always jogging for the upper hand, A side B side, terms, money split, guarantees... it's a game.

As for Progras, Regis is with DAZN and Teo refuses to work with Eddie or even DAZN for that mater.
