    No need for Haney to chill
    , he’s got a belt in an org that tank is rated #1 in. Would you rather he fought lesser rated contenders?
    He should chill. Davis would destroy Haney now. Let's see if Haney can beat someone like Pedraza or Fortuna first.

    People said I was rushing Davis. I knew all along Davis was ready at 21. In Haney's case, I don't want him to be rushed. He's still raw, IMO.

      This is what happens when you sign with Hearn. You gotta beg for fights on Twitter. Haney was the hottest you prospect a year ago and now he's being laughed at for fighting on a YouTube card and dumped on for getting an email belt. These American fighters need to stick to American Promoters who know what they're doing.

        Calling out Tank is like a free throw. He isn't going to fight and then they get clout and the ability to say he is ducking.

AND HERE WE ARE. These Pro PBC fanboys are getting real easy to predict these days.
          Tevin Farmer literally has no contract with DAZN right now; he fought through the end of his deal, DAZN said that the inflated purses are over, and Farmer is still just sitting there, waiting on Golden Boy Promotions to be ready with one of their dates from that 50 date, $90m deal.

          Let's be real here.

          Farmer has no dates; Davis is setting up for his 3rd date, and the PPV engine is getting revved up.

          Lou DiBella does tons of business with Haymon, and he's work with Mayweather Promotions to get deals too.

          Value is value, but if the $2m was low, think it through and negotiate a piece

            These PBC fighters are never going into a fight fans want them in.
            They just pick whoever they want regardless of fans' objections.
            Look at Wilder, Charlo, Tank, etc.
            This is boxing nowadays. Fk the fans.

                  Hearn publicly offered Tank $5m for one fight on DAZN but Tanks team said no, because they don’t want him going to DAZN to fight. I don’t really blame Tank for that, but his team certainly aren’t going to let their biggest prospect go fight on other promoters cards and networks.

                  They did what’s best for them, not what’s best for the fighter.
                  Tank is fighting Yuriorkis Gamboa in Atlanta, and they've sold out of the initial staging for the fight in less than two weeks, with more seats opening up (fans vs resellers is unknown so far).

                  And Davis is on his third Showtime date (Showtime just signed that 4 year, $60m per year, 12+ cards deal with PBC).

                  That's not even counting everything (sponsors, UK TV, what DAZN likely psys to get the rights for their other countries, etc).

                  $5m is a nice round number to throw out there to the folks that don't know ****, but that completely ignores what Mayweather Promotions and Davis are splitting up right now with Davis as a marquee fighter.

                  If it's not already over $5m, it's likely near enough that offer got laughed at.

                  Because folks forget ****; remember when Hearn first got his billion dollar deal and was gloating about his takeover, started throwing out what he felt like were astronomical numbers, only to find out that the guys he was pursuing already had pay packages that topped the offer to begin with.

                      Man I like your thoughtfulness when you post but I think you get a little delusional when it comes to what these PBC guys are making. There is no way on this earth that Tank makes 5 million a fight unless they gave him some sort of huge signing bonus up front and you add that into his average purse. There are few guys in this sport who could come close to that number realistically.

                      Wilder
                      Joshua
                      GGG
                      Canelo
                      Maybe Spence when he fought Porter?

                      Even Crawford ain't sniffing 5 mill anytime soon unless he and Spence fight. Loma not even close either.
