    All these offers are publicity stunts man. Real offers/deals are negotiated behind closed doors not through the media. Hearn was giving the same bluster offering Tank 5m or something. I don’t buy into any of that sort of sh** it’s all fake news really.

    It’s clear from Tank’s actions the Farmer fight really wasn’t worth his time. He didn’t need Farmer, just like Teofimo doesn’t need Haney at this present time.
    So you're statement that Hearn offered Tank a fight with Farmer was a publicity stunt by Hearn?

      Yeah I reckon so. Nobody gave a f*** about Farmer so they tried to attach his name to Tank’s to get some notoriety. How I saw it anyway.

        So Teo asking for $10 mil is also a publicity stunt because he has no intention on fighting him

          It’s him saying if you want me to waste my time fighting a kid that’s nowhere near my level you need to pay me well.

          It’s DAZN and Haney’s team trying to attach themselves to Teo. Lopez sees Haney as a joke.

            So now public offers aren't publicity stunts? You gotta stay consistent. You keep moving the goalposts

              No you do. You’ve failed to comprehend my point.

              Why would Teofimo need to publicity from Haney?

              I mean is that really the angle you’re going with?

              Teofimo is levels above your boy in terms of accomplishments, resume, profile and drawing power. He doesn’t need him.

                Shakur just got to 130. And he's boring with his amateur style.

                  I comprehend fully. When you want to make a point offers matter. When I showed you Tank also sent Farmer an offer but Teo hadn't sent Haney an offer then suddenly offers are publicity stunts.

                  When Haney asks for a lot of money to fight Teo (he never did so you lied) he's pricing himself out. When Teo asks for $10 mil to fight Haney then it's "Teo just beat Loma"

                  I fully comprehend what you're doing

                    They will need top opponents in order to prove themselves. The Ryan Garcia-Luke Campbell winner will be Haney's mandatory so hopefully the winner will make the fight vs. using the "but nobody knows him" excuse to avoid it.

                    Shakur Stevenson has been angling for the Carl Frampton-Jamal Herring winner and hopefully the winner of that fight doesn't use the excuse outlined above.

                      The Ryan Garcia-Luke Campbell winner will be Devin Haney's mandatory. Should the winner avoid the fight because Haney is an "unproven prospect" or should they make some easy money by beating an "unproven prospect"?

                      The same goes for Shakur Stevenson and the Carl Frampton-Jamal Herring winner. If the winner can make some easy money against an "unproven prospect" then why not do it? Unless there is a more lucrative option out there.
