To be able to pay Haney a very high guarantee you need to be able to promote a fight against someone well known and you need to sell tickets and ppvs. That takes planning and it takes time. They have 11 weeks to that event and he does not have an opponent yet. How long would it take just to negotiate a fight like that? In the past they have floated names. Nothing this time. As I said, I smell big time BS.

BTW, by definition BS is not a lie, not necessarily true. Ex: “That’s not true. But it’s a ……. possibility”. Ex: “I did not have *** with that woman”. Ex: “”We’re building a wall!!”… To keep Mexicans out? Or to prevent US citizens from escaping??

Even Turki who is spending government oil money and has a blank cheque for every event does not go into anything like this on a short time scale not giving him an opportunity to promote it properly.Last edited by BrankoB; 01-10-2025, 04:07 PM.

I hear you. I just don't know that many people willing to go into an event like that on a short notice willing to lose that much money and KNOWING they will lose it. Bob Arum was playing a long game with BUD hoping to build him into a ppv star and recoup his initial losses. It never happened and the relationship disintegrated.
