Damn, maybe Haney vs Ryan really is going to happen

[ShoulderRoll]

Hell will break loose for Dela Hoya if he blocks this fight. Ryan instructed his team (which included Oscar), to make the fight. I don't think Oscar would do something ****** to drift their relation farther apart.

It doesn’t sound like he’s blocking it. Seems like he’s on pretty good terms with Haney, as of right now anyway.

And there’s no PBC or Top Rank involvement to screw things up.

You think Hearn walks into a meeting with zero involvement with a fighter?

Just saying Hearn and Hoya have been doing back and forth saying nasty things to each other recently. I don't think Oscar would want him to get involved. It's not even beneficial to Haney. What for? No reason why Eddie would get a piece of the action, unless of course he adds value to the fight like the promoting the fight to the UK audience.

Hearn is supposed to have zero involvement in this fight as Haney is a free agent. Eddie might make it complicated by getting involved.

Matchroom have matching rights for Haney. So they can choose to promote the next fight or not.

Waste of Haney’s energy. It’s just a paycheck. Lil Tank already EXPOSED the YouTuber.

Why are you looking forward to this fight?

It's all up to Haney whether he wants Hearn to get involved or not. Father and son team has no contractual obligations with Eddie Hearn.

Because it’s two good fighters facing each other?

Matchroom have an option on Haney

No. Matchroom having a matching rights contract. If they match the highest offer, they promote it. If they choose not to ), they don't. They've been quite open with this.

As ironic and sad as it is to say, if it happens there is a possibility that this ends up being one of the "best" fight in the 135-140-147 range that actually occurs next year.

In 147, Crawford vs Boots will be better than almost anything in that range but the chances seem slim it occurs. 147 Boots vs Stanionis isn't bad but not exactly a ****er among the big names. 147 Crawford vs Spence II is a full blown waste of time before it happens so doesn't matter (154 will be a hair better but even then...).

In 140, Haney/Teo will be better fight no doubt, but I'm not going to bet a life saving that it is likely to happen next year. Teo vs anyone not named Haney...not the worst thing, but depends on the opponent. Rolly vs Garcia? Err...sure, whatever.

In 135, Tank fighting Shakur or Haney/Teo at 140...very unlikely to happen so might as well not even thing about it. Tank vs Cruz II at 135 is worse than Haney/Garcia by de facto. I love Loma but Loma vs Kambosos isn't really worth that much more than that it is for a vacant belt. Unification fight with Shakur vs Loma will be absolutely wonderful but also in my wishlist that I won't bank money on.

...So yes, Haney vs Garcia actually might be the best of the disappointments that may happen next year...*sigh*
