On Tuesday during the WBC’s weekly press conference, a purse bid was held to determine the promotional rights for the mandatory fight in the super lightweight division between Devin Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) and Sandor Martin (42-3, 15 KOs).
Top Rank won the rights to stage the fight with a bid of $2,420,000 USD. A 10% bonus for the winner worth $242,000 will be held by the WBC.
Even though Ryan was probably juicing,but will be hard for Haney to regain his former status. I e can never unsee the beat-down he took.
Probably GTFOH. Garcia needs to be banned.
Why?
Everyone tuning in to see Martin get the win.
I heard Haney is considering vacating and that Matchroom didn’t even bother making a bid because they presumed he was going to vacate.
I frankly am uninterested in watching Haney ever again. Can’t stand to hear his loudmouth father, and Devin was exposed in the Garcia fight. You can’t claim to be a great fighter, if you get knocked down by the same shot three times in a fight, juicing or no juicing. Haney revealed himself to be very limited skill wise, very one-dimensional, and he fights as though he’s scared to get hit.
When the weight bully moves up to 147 people will see he’s just an ordinary fighter.
I think Blair The Flair whoops him easy.
I would have given him one more chance, but his father calling everyone a “nigga” and talking about his “people”,and bad mouthing while invoking Allah and Mohammed and yet marrying a WHITE (trash) woman made me despise him and his 1-dimensional son. Hope he reads this
That guy is always the loudest person in the
room.
Joey, it’s part of the promotion. Let it go. It’s to sell tickets. On another note, if Garcia popped then why is there still a loss in Haney’s record?
Has not yet officially been declared a “no contest.”
How come people don’t keep that same energy with Teo and Danny Garcia? Their fathers are worse than Bill and I don’t see anyone hating the sons for the sins of their fathers. Also, especially with Teo, who got beat by a lesser fighter than Ryan and has questionable wins against Martin and Ortiz. Was he “exposed” too? I’m not a Devin fanboy or anything, but it seems he gets a lot of unnecessary hate. To the point that are defending a cheater against him. I just want to understand why.
Shaheed, I agree with you on that one Garcia and Teo’s dad are bad. As bad as Haney? I don’t know about that. Kambosos dad was pretty bad too for the fight with Teo and Haney. Teo was exposed hence the easy title defense against claggett. Dad’s as trainers I think operate with too much emotion and sometimes it is detrimental to their son’s. I will say that Sean porters dad was good. I believe they worked well together. There are others just can’t think right now.
They’re just as bad. It’s never good no matter who. All that rah-rah makes you want to see their son’s lose just to hear the dad’s cry about it. But like others have said, it’s marketing. Coincidentally, 2 of the fighters mentioned couldn’t sell tickets on their own. The only one, because of his fan-base, is Garcia.
He’s just a mouthpiece. I call him Bill the Marketer Haney.
Yes, I agree Garcia deserves a suspension. Haney, while not the elite fighter many thought, deserves the loss over turned to nc. Also deserves lengthy amount of time to heal and recover. I’m definitely not a fan the Haneys but the kid should take his time coming back. I think Martin beats him right now possibly by ko.
Too soon to be taking on a caliber of fighter like Sandor. He should have taken on a cab driver or the mailman.
This might actually be a fight that Haney could come back too. Martin is not heavy handed, but he does have skills. Haven’t heard much from him lately though or his dad. Which I do not miss.
I’m not sure this fight even appeals to the die-hards.
Boring, I will be sleeping well after 2rds
