Comments Thread For: Devin Haney in discussions with Turki Alalshikh about Riyadh Season bout

[BrankoB]

Yes, if Turki and and the Haney's come to an agreement, it will be a make it or break situation for Devin and will will see how good Devin actually is and how much he has left after the beat down he took.

I agree. Devin needs Turki for a comeback fight because he is the only promoter that I know of who can afford Devin's financial demands. If it happens, we will get to see Devin again and what he has left in tank after the Garcia fight. I suspect he will fight at 147 because he has been talking about it for a while and being out of the ring for a year will not make that weight cut any easier. If he does move to 147, his chin and punch will really be tested like never before because he will be fighting guys his own size.

You say Devin is one of the top names then you must think so is Garcia after beating him ???
Imo , Garcia just bring his 13 million followers)( money ) but really isn’t that great fighter unless he begins to train and dedicating himself

Devin is a better boxer than Ryan because he works harder in the gym and takes the sport more serious than Ryan. Ryan's probably more talented and has speed and power over Devin but his lack of dedication has stunt his growth in my opinion.

Yes, I believe Ryan is one of the top names at 147, he can't make 140 anymore and Devin is one of the top names at 140 and 147. How many bigger names are there in those divisions than Ryan and Haney, in your opinion?

What I’m asking and got a response is if they were comparable in boxing skills
Garcia has that cult following ( mind you it’s a low 13 million lol )
that gives him this small advantage over many
If he would dedicate himself and not blame all around for his losses then yeah he can be something special having power already

I guess we'll find out how deep in his pockets Turki is willing to dig...

While I agree with everything you wrote, there is one thing that was never there - Haney’s value is predicated with specific fighters. His biggest paycheck was vs Ryan Garcia who is a crossover star and brings in the money.
Prior to that, it was against Kamboso who is huge in Australia. Without those two, Haney’s value is nonexistent.
To give it context, Kamboso CAN make three times what Haney makes by just fighting in Australia.

Haney’s last purse bid was terrible that he rejected it. He was going to make less than two million.

Turki is not paying guys based on their perceived economic value, he is just promoting boxing in the Mid East.

Haney will NEVER make top dollar unless he fights a bigger name than his or he fights in Saudi Arabia.

I agree with you, but that low purse bid offer is being used as evidence that Haney's worth has fallen because of the beatdown that Devin received while Ryan was on PEDs...
