Lou Dibella goes way back to Barry Hearn, Eddies father.
Long before Eddie, Lou Dibella was the vice president of programming at HBO who over the course of 10 years developed the Network of Champions, Boxing After Dark and KO Nation. Lou helped make HBO the biggest boxing channel on the planet back when Eddie Hearn was still in high school. Lou left HBO to start Dibella Entertainment were he promoted everyone from Ike Quartey and Mickey ward to Bernard Hopkins, Paulie Malignaggi, Jermaine Taylor and a bunch of others. Lou helped put together the Super 6 super middle weight tournament for Showtime way back when Andre Ward was a relatively unknown.
In a nut shell, Lou DiBella is a far, far more accomplished promoter then Eddie Hearn and a solid lock for the Hall of Fame. As for Eddie Hearn, Eddie is still learning and he's off to a good start, but hasn't been around long enough to prove anything.
And Lou is still at it although most are co-promotions
But yes your assessment is on tack
Haney made a $4 million Purse against Lomachenko and according to Devin he made $6 million for Regis Prograis.
I agree that part of your quote is correct. However, it is still factually incorrect. I was including Devin's last fight with Ryan Garcia as one of his past two fights as well. Where he has earned close to $20mil. $6mil for Regis Prograis and about to $10-12mil for Ryan Garcia.
