Comments Thread For: Devin Haney vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa Deal in Place, Says Manager

[Theosis26]

I dont like this fight at all. Gamboa is too past it at this point

[markther]

What fans opposed Russell vs Haney? Russell walks around at the weight. It would have been a more competitive fight than Gamboa.

REALLY!!!

And you are cool with WASHED UP RECYCLED Gamboa?!?!

They were only offering Russell 1.5m, that’s about the standard pay for a PBC main event champion I think

huge step up here

I think Tank vs. LSC @ 130 (if Tank makes 130) is way better than Haney vs. Gamboa!

Oh yea obviously. I'm just saying if Devin KOs Yuri in 2 after Tank went rounds with him it's a good look for Devin.

I think similar opponents are good measuring sticks to hype up talk between high level guys or too boost a lesser guy who shined more than the more proven guy.

On another note, who should GRJ fight? My dream would be GRJ vs. Shakur Stevenson on the Wilder vs. Fury III PPV, but neither have belts @ 130, so it won't happen, unless Shakur is willing to drop back to 126 for GRJ's title. I'd definitely pay to see that!

GRJ is most likely gonna do exactly what Team Devin just did. Talk with all these name guys & then next year sometime when he has his annual fight it'll be vs some middle world class type guy who might have some name value but not too much.

If he's lucky it'll be Tank assuming he beats LSC as expected cuz that's his best paying potential next fight.

"fans showed their opposition to the weight difference."

Really?!

The only fans that opposed the fight were Haney fans...


On a side note, more evidence Dazn is going down the toilet. They pass up on a fight fans actually want to see, to put on a fight no one wants to see....go figure

As I said many times, not sure Haney is even good enough to beat Gamboa. Haney is getting overrated for doing shit. I'm picking Gamboa and will put some points on it if someone is interested.

Not seeing what people see in Haney.

What a joke!

Guest this kid wants to remain a legend in his own mind. Has fought no one to speak of and continues this trend! Does more foto ops than proving his worth in the ring! Another cherry picker like his idle mayweather!

Deal was always In Place! The Russell thing was likely Promotion for both of them. Maybe they fight next anyway if Gary is indeed fighting Javier Fortuna in December, that would put him in place for a shot at Haney anyway

I was with you until you got to Floyd. Floyd isn't his promoter.

Anyway, I think there's something only Haney's team knows, as to why this guy can't get a live body. Hearn even tried to get Davis for Farmer. Why isn't Hearn making any effort to do that for Haney? I don't get it. Maybe they don't think he's that good?

Is Haney's chin fragile? Gamboa will test that.
