I never paid for Haney because I never paid for DAZN and if I did, it wouldn’t be to watch Devin “The Dream” Haney. I sure left my folks dreaming Saturday when everyone fell asleep except me. I was huge on Haney before the Gamboa fight.Damn near, if not all, the boxers in history don't meet the standard of Floyd Mayweather. Why are you reaching for Floyd's name to discredit DH? You act like there's no success in the game unless you do it at Floyd's level. And if we're being honest, he's going a lot harder than Floyd was when he was 23 as far as his business and money. But since we're on the Floyd comparison, wasn't Floyd on his 3rd weight class before he touched PPV? So not only has DH become the youngest undisputed (something Floyd never done) champion EVER, but you've already "paid" to see him fight. Every one of his last 3 or more fights have been on a paid subscription service. I don't care about what's being typed or said. Money talks. This weekend was his first fight on that platform and he almost beat out Shakur, who has Olympic pedigree and has been on the platform his entire career, for the most watched fight of the year on ESPN. He already has an audience that's spent the last few years "paying" to watch him fight and his numbers reflected that Saturday. He only gained fans. Athletes, actors, other boxers, former boxers, etc all got a tweet out there about Devin this weekend. The "face of boxing" literally just fought a few weeks ago, and I dare you to say Canelo's fight moved the needle like this fight did. You're being overly critical.
The money and career comparison with Floyd and DH is contrasted by the era which Floyd made better for DH. Haney was overpaid by DAZN and he got the bag, can’t front. Let’s take Tank and Ryan out, if he doesn’t rematch (no one wants to see that again) or Loma isn’t available, who does Haney fight as a headliner and it is profitable and eventful affair? Tank fights nobodies and still sell out with a fake belt. Haney is undisputed and the top dog, let’s see how much that is really worth.
Lastly, Tank, gotta bigger response after his fight he headlined, with actual stars in the building and watching on PPV. He did it in Brooklyn. Jojo Diaz sold majority of the tickets 🎟 in Haney’s adopted hometown of Las Vegas on Saturday only for Tank to outdo him with a last minute replacement, Isaac Cruz (practically made him a star), 3 hours away in LA on a Sunday night.
