Comments Thread For: Top Rank Wins Purse Bids For Devin Haney Defence But Will He Accept The Fight?

[Boxfan83]

I totally understand the skepticism of accepting such a purse after receiving such high paydays. Sandor Martin is not the kinda guy u want to get out of your cashmere slippers to train for. In a sense it's not a bad thing, Haney is still considered a 7 figure fighter. Unsure how much of that worth comes from the belt though.

”Booty Ennis?” C’mon fam, don’t do that! I think what Eddie wants, is for Devin to drop the WBC belt, and go fight Liam Paro in Australia. Honestly, it’s not a bad move, because Haney vs. Martin ain’t worth it! Now, Bill could pull a power move with J. Prince, and make Haney vs. Stevenson! If Eddie don’t get behind that, then he’s exposed himself to the fullest!

Hey Bronx that was a typo I meant to say Boots but I've seen so many people say Booty on this site that I did too. Haha my bad!!

Matchroom must have lost a lot of money on this guy. And he's acting like he's some PPV star.

Exactly! Haney deserves undercard paychecks!

Paychecks depend on the size of the fight. If it's deemed to be unsellable, then don't expect big paycheck. No promotional company wants to spend too much money on fights they think is not big enough to sell.

Haney’s response is mint. He’s not an entertaining fighter, he’s not a money maker, he hasn’t been promoted well at all, matchroom is no longer in the business of losing money as they did for years (other peoples money I might add) and Haney really shows how naive he was to think of Eddie Hearn as a “friend” who is as always going to throw away money on him. Haney has been overpaid, period. Hearn is a villain but just because he doesn’t want to lose money doesn’t mean he’s the villain this time. Haney needs to reevaluate his worth and where he needs to go for the best promotion. Being matched with the right fighters on the right cards with the right audience is what he needs. Also, couldn’t hurt if he was a bit more violent on his fights

DAZN could have taken the 2 Kambosos fights with Haney in Australia. No competition, seriously speaking.
But they didn't. Dibella was negotiating with them with Bob Arum completely out of the picture.
DAZN clearly wanted nothing to do with Haney. The graph on their bottom lines probably showed
Haney never made a dent on their marketability.

Correct every CEO of every company has to make financial business decisions for his company you're 100% right. I'm not upset with Edfie I'm just baffled that Devin didn't have the foresight to see what I see

I guess thats why the CEO of Devin Haney Promotions didnt place a bid on the fight either........

Typo!! I meant to say Boots but I've seen "booty" on here so many times I accidentally did it too! Lol

PBC fanboy telling Bill what to do. Any explanation why PBC/TMT never had any interest in signing the Haney's? Haney is a free agent again, you know. I don't get why PBC never showed any interest in him when most of his fans are PBC fans.

They love to play victims bruh. And PBC didn't place a bid. They can't do no wrong.

You're right THEY do live to play victim. Like Cryin Ryan blaming his steroid use on the devil while screaming NO WEAPON SHALL PROPER AGAINST ME....or all these illegal immigrants running over the border crying about asylum because they are victims of dictatorships or the Jan 6th rioters in jail playing victim because they goy locked up for storming the Capitol. You're right..THEY do play victim a lot!!! Lol
