    Even though he was both wronged and done dirty; Eddie Hearn is only echoing the sentiments of many other boxing promoters.

    Haney’s stock has dropped through no fault of his own with his fight against Ryan Garcia. Some promoters may now see him as damaged goods.

    While others may believe he is no longer the box office draw on the rise that he once was. He needs to get back in the ring and into the win column as soon as possible.

    In order to erase that stigma and bad memory of the Ryan Garcia fight.

      Didn't Haney file a civil law suit or is threatening to file a law suit against Garcia for financial losses???

        So I don’t know what Eddie Hearn is talking about. Canelo was never on Bud’s radar. He wanted to fight Fundora.

        Until “Your Excellency” started floating this idea to fight Alvarez for the most amount of money.
        I remember TC wanting Canelo after he beat Spence, way before Fundora was ever in the picture, the talk was Tim before Fundora but it was Canelo all along.

          That"s because Sandor can fight, he virtually retired Mikey Garcia, and he outpointed Teofimo, although he wasn't given the decision.

            Devin Haney vs Liam Paro, would be a damn good fight, because Paro with his speed would force Haney to fight.
            I would give the edge to Paro to outpoint Haney, and if Haney is suffering any lingering from his fight with Ryan, then Paor might actually stop him.
            That said Haney has done more than enough to have earned the respect of boxing fans. I just don't care for Haney's style of fighting, but it has been effective for him.
            As far as Crawford is concerned, I think he realizes that putting on another 14 pounds to fight Canelo wouldn't go well for him.
            The reason being is that although he did beat Madrimov, he struggled to do so and if not for his reliable chin the punches the rocked him would've dropped him.
            Crawford will undoubtedly take the fight if Canelo offers it to him, but Crawford won't be effective at 168, and Canelo won't be hesitant like Madrimov was.

                Wrong, most retired fighters wind up having to sell the ***elry and dumb sheet they spent with their money on EBay because they don’t have a pot to piss in.

                Evander, broke
                Pacquiao, almost broke. Didn’t pay his taxes.
                RJJ, spent money trying to create his Rap label
                Tommy Hearns, broke
                Rid**** Bowe, broke
                Mike Tyson, went bankrupt with $23M in debt, now hustling and making paid appearances to stay afloat.
                Unfortunately it is a sad truth that too many fighters who made millions wind up broke, broken, and destitute.
                After laboring so hard, and for so long to make it in the unforgiving sport of boxing, they lose it all due to their exorbitant new found lifestyle.
                Having shed so much of their blood, sweat, and tears along the way doesn't seem to have amounted to much in the end.
                For those who gave so much of their youth, health, and spirit, and that's just so unfair, if not totaling heart wrenching.
                They deserved better, but didn't know how to protect themselves, or their earnings from others.
                They learned all of the boxing skills that they would need in the ring, but never learned the financial skills of accounting, and investing.
                That they would need after their career in order to live a decent life out side of the ring. Where there are just as many difficult challenges, as there were in the ring.

                  If Crawford were to retire, I don't know what to make of his resume. I know he's undisputed a couple of times and I know he passes the eye ball test and many view him as an all time great (not me) but to only have one marquee name, Spence, on your resume, even with the demolition job he did on him is just not enough. He missed a lot of great fights at 147 'cos supposedly nobody wanted to fight him but 154 guys are itching to get at him. There are a lot of great fights at 154 to help his resume but whether he wants those tough fights is a different story. Even Madrimov that was suppose to be a soft touch ended up being a difficult fight.
                  Madrimov isn't a soft touch for anyone!

                    Some just give it away. Getting drunk and wrecking Lambos. There are success stories too. Big George; Little Red, the original Golden boy Art Aragon. He became a bail bondsman, his motto. I'll get you out if it takes ten years. A lot of these guys would have ended the way they started without boxing.

                      Yes, that’s right. If my memory serves me correctly; I believe the two sides are currently in negotiations.

                      That is unless of course, both sides have reached a settlement or a confidential agreement already .
