George had a fluke win. That fight was postponed multiple times in the Covid era. No question that he won the fight but he has not shown any growth with his skills.

Kamboso is a superstar in Australia. He can have several big paydays.
Haney’s biggest payday before the Ryan fight was traveling to Australia.
I am Australian and I am not so sure that Kambosos is a star, never mind super star in Australia. Quite frankly at this stage of his career any offer from Teo is a good offer. Other than an opportunity for a revenge, George does not have much to offer to Teo so he should take the money offered with both hands and say "thank you".

I’m making my basis on what I’ve read regarding their purses.
Kambosos earned a guaranteed $10 million purse, while Haney took home $2.8 million.
In the rematch, Haney made more because he was the champion and Kamboso agreed to it.
Haney's last purse was $2.42 million for his fight against Sandor Martin:
Purse bid: Top Rank won the purse bid with a $2.42 million offer.
Payout: Haney would have received 70% of the purse, which could have netted him $1.5 million.
Reaction: Haney was unhappy with the purse bid, which was significantly lower than his previous fights. He expressed frustration that no other bidder entered the fray.
So, while I may be mistaken about Haney being a superstar, he certainly brings in the money and fans if the fight happens in Australia.
I’ll maintain what I said, George has more to offer Teo than Teo has to offer George.

Thanks for the insight! I surely would have thought Kambosos' name still held major weight to generate millions in Australia....
If you think kambosos is going to do it again I recommend you best set foot outside your mom’s basement from time to time.
I didn’t say that but I bet you got it wrong the first time
Maybe you should try getting out of your old lady’s basement
Just sayin’ and since your a big boxing fan , weirder things have happened
