As a boxing fan and a fan of Haney, I want to see the best fights and I want to see him fight the best. I believe there can be some good fights that involve his name, because whether one likes it or not, he is one of the top fighters in the 140 and 147 divisions.
Now, for the folks that hate/dislike Haney for his behavior out of the ring(lawsuits, arrogance) or for his weight bully methods, which happen to be within the rules of the sport, I can definitely understand why they would not want any form of success for Devin.
The meeting with Turki is gonna be very important to Haney's future, in my opinion. If Turki doesn't offer him an amount that the Haney's think Devin is worth, the high guarantees that the Haney's have been demanding will no longer be met from promoters such as TR, Matchroom, or GBP and he'll have to settle for the $1 million range.
If Turki does happen to offer Devin a very large sum to fight, Devin's attorney can't factually claim that his value has dropped due to Ryan fight/PED scandal.
I'm curious to find out how much Turki offers Devin...Comment

Originally posted by Phase IIITotally ridiculous. Turkie knows sheet about boxing because Haney is a shot fighter who’s in it just for the $$$. Hearn, Warren, and S. Brown are deep in Turkie’s pockets while running their scam. Turki is a complete dumb arse who I suspect is corrupt given the nonsensical and highly questionable moves he makes with the three stooges I named in his pockets.
Three things- 99% of boxers boxer is in boxing for $$$ so you’re flat out wrong on that.
- Turki is corrupt? Corruption entails one thing only - scamminn and stealing money. Every fight that’s been staged in Saudi Arabia has not made a single dime in profit and will not do so in future. Turki is a billionaire and is not after profit. Boxing is a promotional tool for Saudi Arabia.
- Turki is not dumb nor is he making “questionable moves”. He is paying those guys serious money so he can stage big fights.
Every single boxing promoter and more important, every single fighter is looking for that Saudi money. In the end, the big fights that we all want are getting made.
Why are you so upset about it? You don’t need to get triggered and respond with empty rhetoric and misplaced anger, it’s a simple question - why are you so enraged?

Bill Haney is trying to manage his son/client as best as he knows how for financial reasons. The more money Devin makes, the more money Bill makes, that's just business. As for Bill's fatherly reasons, I imagine Bill wants the best for his son, be that wealth, success, etc....

Thé only good thing that comes out of this is Turki won’t settle on him fighting easy fights
While he might get one to rinse the rust off then he’ll have him fighting the bigger names , it’s make or break
Imo , thé Haneys should accept wtv is offered because not many looking to pick up the pieces and start over with Devin ( even Slow Eddie has cast him aside and we all know it’s money first with that guy )

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.
