Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Jnr: Devin Haney ignored 'good, reasonable' offer

[BrankoB]

So, the self-proclaimed "140lb king" offers fellow 140lb champion Haney $2.4 million, and believes it to be a "good, reasonable offer". FOH

.... plus percentage of PPV. Just to be fair and put this into a context, Crawford was paid $2.5M guarantee plus PPV for his last fight, so Haney rejecting a $2.4M guarantee plus PPV is a really bad look. That is a good, reasonable offer. If they didn't like 55/45 they could have negotiated that instead of just rejecting it. If Teo is speaking the truth, this is a clear, plan duck from Haney.

The $2.4 million was just the guaranteed amount, the share of the PPV sales would have been 55/45. I'm curious to know what you think Devin's guarantee offer should be? Keep in mind that Bud's last fight under Turki only guaranteed him $2.5 million. Do you honestly feel Devin's guarantee should be more than Bud's??

Hahaha, I just posted the same thing before I read your comment. Great minds think alike.

Teo lame

Why does he want to fight Damaged Devin anyway?

Teo looked bad in his last two fights and he sounds desperate, and as always he sounds like a moron.

Work on fighting coming forward and not just counterpunching, Teo, or else your career is on a downhill trajectory.

Because he's low hanging fruit now that he's been exposed... Although I don't think he's even got a title anymore.

Haney's still the WBC champ and Teo's the WBO champ, last I read.

You're probably right. I think I'm more miffed at Teo acting like he's the king of the division and suddenly Haney's this poor soul needing Lopez to throw him a bone.

2.4m guarantee not total purse plus a shot at the WBO belt and a chance to become Lineal Champ. Teofimo is Lineal Champ at 140 don't forget. Not a bad offer at all. Haney is no draw he needs a good dance partner.

Everyone needs a dance partner, and Lopez is not the superstar that he thinks he is.

That's just it, Turki made the offer to Bud. Since when did Teofuckinfemo become this mogul who is making offers to Haney? The guy loses one fight to a drug cheat, and now Lopez is the "king" and calling offer shots? He's not Canelo and never will even come close.
