By Brian Webber: Devin Haney disagrees with Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe about it being too quickly for a combat between him and Gervonta Davis.
Haney thinks {that a} match between him and Tank is the largest in boxing proper now and doesn’t have to be marinated for years & years in an effort to extract as a lot cash from the general public.
The Mayweather Promotions marination mannequin hurts the game, because it prevents huge fights involving the one star of their steady from preventing the opposition that followers need to see him in opposition to.
Clearly, they’re assuming that as a result of marinating labored for Floyd together with his mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao, it can work with their flagship fighter Tank Davis, who has but to combat an A-level fighter throughout his 10-year professional profession.
Financially, it labored for Mayweather to let the Pacquiao combat marinate till each guys had been outdated. It wasn’t deal for the followers, as they paid $100 per family on PPV to look at a boring contest involving a gunshy Manny and Floyd utilizing his regular safety-first model.
It’s important to ponder whether Showtime Boxing can be getting dropped if Tank Davis had been preventing the blokes that followers have wished to see him combat for the final ten years as an alternative of an assortment of old-washed fighters and bottom-barrel-fringe contenders.
Some followers consider PBC & Mayweather Promotions are defending their funding with Tank Davis collectively most cash doable out of him by placing him in in opposition to beatable opposition and steering him away from fighters like Haney (30-0,15 KOs) & Shakur Stevenson till he’s on the finish of his profession with nothing left.
“I’m keen to do what it takes to make the largest fights occur. I’ve confirmed that. I’ve signed with different networks and promoters to make the fights occur,” stated Devin Haney to Fighthype on whether or not he would signal with Mayweather Promotions & PBC to get the Gervonta Davis combat.
Will Mayweather Promotions let Tank Davis combat Haney if he seems dangerous & loses to RegisPrograis on December ninth? In the event that they’re keen to match Tank in opposition to fighters like Ryan Garcia, a boxer/influencer, and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, they’ll gladly put him in with Haney if he’s coming off a loss to Prograis.
In any case, in the event that they drag their toes any longer, it might be too late to make the combat if Haney loses to Prograis and a few different guys at 140. He arguably misplaced his final combat in opposition to Vasily Lomachenko.
There are 4 or 5 fighters within the 140-lb division that will doubtless beat Haney and ship his profession plummeting.
“So, we received to see what place I’m in in the event that they had been to supply a combat. At occasions, I may try this, and typically, I couldn’t try this so far as leaping over no matter.
“However I’m keen to do no matter it takes to make the largest fights occur. I believe so,” stated Haney when requested if a combat between him and Tank Davis is the largest combat in boxing.
