Comments Thread For: Bill Haney: 'The Biggest Pimp In The Whole Industry Is Henry Garcia'

[BoxingUpdates]

Arriving in New York stopped Bill Haney in his tracks. He considered he and his champion son Devin Haney's path from once fighting Ryan Garcia in the amateur ranks with sparse viewership in Southern California to now filling Brooklyn's Barclays Center for a WBC 140-pound title defense.

“You know, Floyd never did what Devin has done and if he could have, he should have,” Bill Haney said. “Floyd was never undisputed in his division, whether it was (reluctance to fight Antonio) Margarito or Winky Wright or making Pacquiao and Cotto wait.“Devin is what ‘TBE’ wasn’t at 25.

Never having a contract dispute with a manager or promoter, getting to the bank and pay-per-view. I don’t think Mayweather was a pay-per-view fighter at 25. We keep discussing our numbers when ‘TBE’ wasn’t that.”

Big talk, but where is the lie? Bill has a good memory and isn't glossing over Floyd avoiding guys.

Lmao Devin haney isn’t a PPV fighter this guy is delusional. This fight bout to bomb like all of haneys fights

Different times to say the least
Haney is far from a ppv fighter or even close to putting asses in the seats
Not to mention that his son would be an ordinary fighter and far from champion had he competed with the names he mentioned
Why the ticket give away in San Fran ?

Bill was saying Haney is doing bigger numbers than Mayweather at this point. He's right. At 25, Mayweather was not a draw.

Floyd was 25 when he made $2.2 million to fight Castillo. That's $3.8 million in today's money.

Haney made $6 million against Prograis. He'll make at least double that against Garcia.

Don't matter if it bombs. What Bill said isn't lies. Undisputed at 25, moved up won another belt, he's making his mark felt, especially if he beat this headcase in fashion

"He broke down the sides-of-the-streets argument. He’s worked with Showtime and Stephen Espinoza and Gordon Hall, with Bob Arum and ESPN/Top Rank, with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom and now Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy.”

ONLY b!tches, fanboys and weirdos continue to talk about A side and promotional streets.

Hard to argue this point. Their business acumen has to be praised being that they're promotional free agents most of the time and still manage to reel in big name promoters and fighters to deal with them and score big paydays consistently. That headline is wild, but with the way the old man allows the younger Garcia to consistently make a fool of himself day after day on the internet and do nothing but reinforce it just for money shows lack of real moral value. Reason why these younger generation folks are braindead and have no respect or moral values anymore.
