Can Eddie Hearn turn Haney into a superstar?

[bluebeam]

Preach. People give too much credit to Hearn's big mouth.

The only thing Hearn has achieved with his big mouth is turn himself into a star. He's the Puff Daddy of boxing.

That's the perfect analogy.

Eddie puff daddy hearns

Eddie Hearn had Haney fighting on a YouTubers undercard. Haney is out here as a champion begging Ryan Garcia for a fight. Not a good look. He will surely be the B side if they ever start negotiations.

Except, on that "Youtubers undercard" Haney had a purse of $1M, while Garcia made $250K his last time out.

As a B-side, he's sure doing alright!

I don't know about superstar at this point can Hearn even get Haney fights period? The reason Haney is showing up at other fighters bigger events and begging rival promoters to give him fights is because his own promoter can't get him fights. Look at the guys at 135 all with different promoters and they all landing big and relevant fights. Ryan fighting 3 division world champ Linares. Teo fighting Loma. Tank is probably fighting Leo Santa cruz on PPV. Where are the fights for Haney? Haney is being left behind and all these guys all have better options for fights then Haney who isn't a big draw and doesn't have options not to mention he struggles to make 135 likely will have to move up to 140 very soon which is why he and Hearn are begging for those big fights at 135 now.

No. Fighting on an app won't help. Hearn is an annoying clown. Haney doesn't have the "it" factor either.

Get Joshua's **** out of your mouth you ***.

Ryan is making way more then 250K. lol Just like PBC fighters get a second check that they hide from commissions so does Ryan. Plus he's making millions alone in endorsements and as a influencer on social media. Ryan is making more money and generating more money in his fights then Haney is. Haney showing up at Ryan's sold out events to try and clout chase him. Ryan isn't showing up to clout chase Haney who is fighting on the undercard of youtube fights. LMAO

The type of opponents you face has a lot to do with becoming a star. So which big name opponent or top name can Haney face to become a star? Looks like he is being frozen out a bit with the TR 135 pounders and Arum even mentioned that Haney signed with the wrong guy if he wanted Lomachenko/Lopez. But if Haney continues to develop and becomes a top P4P fighter, eventually he can break through as he will get the fights he needs at 140 or 147. You have some fighters like Ryan Garcia/Tank Davis that become big names on their own, but that's pretty rare.

I've been watching Haney closely and it seems Hearn promised both Haney and his dad that he can turn him into a superstar. And he used AJ's career success as his selling point.

However, what most don't know is that Hearn had big profile fighters before Josh and he never turned any of them into a star (superstar is a stretch). And after Josh, he has had a lot of big profile fighters and none of them is a star.

So I'm going with my inclination that fighters always make the promoter and not the other way around. I had the same sentiments about Mayweather and Canelo. Ditto AJ.

I believe for Haney to become a superstar, he has to make himself one. Hearn can't make him a superstar. He'd help with resources but that's where it ends

DZ isn't a big enough platform to become a superstar tbh. Not enough eyes will be on him and he'll struggle to get any fights with PBC guys.

DZ is better for guys who're already superstars.

The best part is the LDBC have hated Hearn since 2017 and call him an evil racist! Lol yet the LDBC invite the Haney’s to their show to help promote them. The LDBC work and make money for Hearn and DAZN. Lol

So...Ryan is making way more than 250k but Haney isn't making way more than 1M? Hmm...

[sicko]

NO! Politics will keep him from landing him the Big Fights for him just like with Andrade and you're already seeing it

[bigdunny1]

So...Ryan is making way more than 250k but Haney isn't making way more than 1M? Hmm...

Exactly. Ryan makes millions outside the ring. He was asked by media before his last fight if he can go a day without posting on social media. His response was I'm paid millions to post on social media if you were paid that much money you would post everyday too I promise you. And that's just social media where he is being paid, he has large endorsement, modeling gigs, acting gigs the man had his own teeny bopper TV show produced by Brat TV



Haney getting paid nothing but a fight purse, nobody but die hard boxing fans know who he is. Ryan getting 2 fight purses 1 hidden by Commissions like PBC fighters and a entire stream of millions outside of the ring.

here is a new 150K car he bragged about paying cash in full and you think he is only making 250K? LMAO
