Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Signs Promotional Deal With Eddie Hearn

[TreJac]

Haney, Simns Jr, & Otha are all on tucked away on some unknown app. Horrible for the future of American boxing. I hope Duke don't sign with Hearn.

Stop hating dude! What makes you think you know what's best for this man's career? How many hours have you put in for him? I'll wait...……

The UK fans love to chime in but they want amercan boxing to fail. Notice all their decent fighters are coming here and they're getting **** cards now over there.

They don't have access to DAZN but they're the biggest cheerleaders for DAZN. I see right thru their ulterior motives

Haney is a damn good fighter whatever happened to the kid from philly I think he was having promoter problems.

Jaron "BOOTS" Ennis, and yes, he still has promoter problems!

Terrible signing that he will regret, fighting on an App, Hearn has no fighters for Haney, what a waste of a career, this Kid could of moved up to light welterweight and welterweight to fight bigger names, I would of even signed with ESPN, they have some pretty good light welterweights, now he is stuck on a App fighting tomato cans with no exposure, his dad guided him in the wrong direction

Nope! He signed with Hearn exactly bcs his dad was involved. Dad made sure the signing was based on rationale, not racial emotions.

could be worse. Could be like karlos balderas
Who signed to pbc and fights on the 4th walkout bout off tv after Gervonta Davis vs Ruiz while the media are all at the press conference lol. Literally 10 or less people besides his corner saw his fight.

More people saw Balderas than will see Haney's next 2 fights combined

Afterwards, FS1 averaged 185,000 viewers for the "Fight Night Extra".. while ESPN 2 averaged 291,000 viewers for the Top Rank Crawford-Kahn PPV prelim

This is kind of weird news to me. Devin always seemed wary of promotional alliances. He stayed clear of Arum, Haymon and Floyd. Hearn must have offered up a ton of money for him to the point he was unable to refuse.

The app nobody is watching. This isn't ESPN Plus. People watch that app



American TV. I didn't say PBC


What about Shakur & Teo?



Premium cable made boxing a niche sport. This app is taking a niche sport and hiding it from the majority of the American public. They said after Canelo, AJ, & GGG fight they're hoping to have 1 mil subs. ESPN plus passed that mark in a month.

People will say, but ESPN is the biggest sports network in America. Yep, that's my whole point. Boxing needs the biggest sports network behind it. Not some fly by night app.

Eff you're a smart guy. You know they aren't getting NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL. To many real streaming services in America to compete with like Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, and now Disney.

You really think people are going to pay $20 to only watch boxing? They'll pay it to watch Canelo because it's cheaper than his PPV fights. People are complaining not only about Netflix prices going up they're complaining about the overall a la carte pricing of apps, music & video. Nobody but hardcore boxing fans are paying $20 a month just for boxing.

Teo and Shakur have a perfect deal. All their fights are on tv streamed. That’s why they are so well known. And guys like rollies and Haney aren’t as well known.

I'm hating big time. I want to see AMERICAN fighters on AMERICAN TV! I want our fighters getting the same shine these Euros got when they came over. Is that hard to understand????

Haney made a decision he felt was the best for his career and family and you rather hate than congratulate the young man! Maybe you prefer him to be like Tank, Broner, & other real negroes who stay in trouble, receive more attention for negative things outside the ring! This is a positive young man who's father is heavily involved in his career! How much work have you put in the gym with Haney? I'll wait...….

[Bronx2245]

This is a good deal for Haney b/c he's betting on Campbell! If no Campbell, this could be bad! If any of the PBC family, that I suggest should consider this move, it's Jermall Charlo!
