Comments Thread For: Top Rank Wins Purse Bids For Devin Haney Defence But Will He Accept The Fight?

[factsarenice]

You don't have to be "under contract". In certain points of their careers Mikey Garcia and Canelo weren't under contract with Al but still raved about his business acumen and how they were willing to work with him in the future because he didn't try and screw them because they werent "under contract"

Sounds great but lets not get too crazy.... Al Haymon isn't some savior, he's a businessman and he makes business decisions that benefited the profitability of his business.

The PBC has on many occasions pressured fighters into turning down career high paydays to keep fights and belts within the confines of Al Haymon's network affiliation and did so because it benefited Al's PBC and not the fighter..

I'm Sorry but of these guys aren't saints, they're Joel Osteen, TD Jakes and Kenneth Copeland and they do it for the G-IV Gulfsteam, the Bentley, the money...period.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if people can't see that they're part of a cult .

Here's my issue Bronx...LOYALTY!! Some people have it and some don't. Hearn has N-O-N-E! When he convinced Devin to leave Showtime and not fo the PBC/ Mayweather route then he should've made a commitment to him to stuck around through good times AND THE BAD....EMPHASIS ON THE BAD! That would have aided in his "American takeover" and would've proved to American fighters that he is a promoter that can be trusted. Except he has showed that at the first hint of adversity be will bounce on yo azz. Tevin Farmer and D jacobs are nowhere to be found on the boxing scene. Andrade could only secure Euro reject fights a d Eddie dropped him like a bad habit. They claimed that Devin was the face of boxing and then loses one fight and Eddie is no longer interested. Matias is about to find out the hard way what happens when you lose one fight because Liam Paro is now taking his position. Booty Ennis will be next.

”Booty Ennis?” C’mon fam, don’t do that! I think what Eddie wants, is for Devin to drop the WBC belt, and go fight Liam Paro in Australia. Honestly, it’s not a bad move, because Haney vs. Martin ain’t worth it! Now, Bill could pull a power move with J. Prince, and make Haney vs. Stevenson! If Eddie don’t get behind that, then he’s exposed himself to the fullest!

You are the casual.

Okay show me comparisons. How much do supporting casts make? How much did Russel and Puello make, at the top of my head? How about Paro, Benavidez, Gvozdyk, and many many main undercards make? Why do they survive with less than $1 mil purses?

Don’t bother arguing with that clown he doesn’t know anything about money. Haney ain’t worth much the purse bid showed exactly how much his value is in the market his pathetic little fans can’t handle that reality. Pinkeye will scream 2M is a joke but the real joke is he doesn’t have enough money to buy a PPV lol

They’re all in it for the money, but until I see a PBC fighter in court, suing Al Haymon over contract disputes, I’m not putting him in the same basket with Don King, and Bob Arum! His business model is nothing like the Old Guard, and anyone who wants to leave, does so. Eddie and Oscar are much more like Don and Bob, when it comes to business!

One career high pay day vs a string of fights and a career that pay much more than just that one fight. Al haymon makes those sorts of offers. Life is full of choices and everyone has to make them

[LAchargers373]

Exactly. The Haneys have been calling out Tank ever since I can remember. Not a peep of movement was shown by PBC people. They could have offered other fights on PBC cards, but no offer came. None, nada, zero.

Ya cause why would tank fight haney? He brings no viewers no ppv buys his next fight just got a $2M bid accepted. Ryan garcia destroyed him and tank already starched rygar. No one wants to lose money on huggies haneys fights he’s just not that good or exciting

[Bronx2245]

PBC fanboy telling Bill what to do. Any explanation why PBC/TMT never had any interest in signing the Haney's? Haney is a free agent again, you know. I don't get why PBC never showed any interest in him when most of his fans are PBC fans.

of course PBC had interest in Haney. Have you never seen how many times Haney trained in Mayweather’s Gym, even b4 he was a professional? The beef is with Floyd & Bill. Bill wanted to control his son’s movement, and that’s admirable! Floyd felt some type of way, and built up Tank! Now both houses are sick! Tank made his move, and everyone is adapting to his movement! What I’m suggesting to Bill, is to bring his name back to prominence! Haney vs.Stevenson can do that! Shakur will be free in a few weeks! He doesn’t have to deal with Al, Floyd, nor Bob! He might even can go straight to his excellency!

That's what I'm not getting. Haney started with lots of Matchroom/DAZN cards.
He's also been on TR/ESPN cards. His last fight was a GBP card. Still no fight on a PBC card.
And he's been a free agent.

I guess they are not at all interested in the Haneys
I have a funny feeling it has much to do with papa Haney

Correct every CEO of every company has to make financial business decisions for his company you're 100% right. I'm not upset with Edfie I'm just baffled that Devin didn't have the foresight to see what I see

Actually, I think Devin understands but he's still mentally shaken from recent setbacks and disappointed because a bid from Eddie would have helped his confidence.

Eddie didn't bid because frankly he doesn't want that fight any more than Bill Haney wants that fight. Nobody looks good against Sandor Martin and not only because he's relatively unknown, he's a risk and his style is NOT a comeback fight for Devin. Eddie Hearn and Bill Haney are on the same page, this fights not happening, they'll give up the belt.

Devin is smart and he probably understands but that doesn't help him emotionally or mentally, he's just not there yet.
