Bob Arum Slams Devin Haney “Shameful” appearance against Jose Ramirez, citing a lack of incentives for top fighters

Bob Arum says the performance of Devin Haney was “shamelessly ” Against Jose Ramirez in their struggle to confront May 2 on May 2 at Times Square, New York. Promoter Best Rango Arum says with Haney gets “great money ” For a rematch with Ryan Garcia in October, he had no incentive to “risk” against Ramirez trying to have fun.

Surprisingly, it seems that Turks Alalshikh did not give up Haney after that performance. This week he mentioned that he was interested in a rematch between Ryan and Devin.

Incentives for the murder of fun

Haney allegedly received $ 10 million for his fight against Ramirez on Ryan’s background against Roland ‘Rolly’ Romera. It is a giant Undercard Borca handbag, which lost, tuning against veterans without a belt on the line.

As Haney performed in his loss with three shots from Ryan last April, he needed to receive a much smaller purse. In addition, Devin is not a PPV draw. He is a clinch and a driver with a style similar to Shakur Stevenson in the sense that he is boring for fans. Based on Haney’s non-Zagreb style, he should have been paid in thousands, not millions, to fight Ramirez. In the real world, when you agree, replace. You do not receive raises.

“In the old days, when we had a fighter like Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar de La Hoya, they had reason to have the crowds really fun because their next fight was already appropriate. But they stood to make extra money from PPV, from great. So, there was always an incentive to look good,” Bob Arum said Media.

“Now that incentive disappeared because he promised them great money for his next fight. Their only safe way to get it is not to participate in the fight. Devin Haney is a very good fighter. You have seen a fight with Jose Ramirez. That was a shame. “

A-Listers do not need to have fun

Arum explains that well. The Saudis fighters consider that the A-List have no reason to try to have fun because they are already planning the next fight and paying them absurd money. They do not have to try to have fun or promote fights. All they have to do is win.

“It was an absolute shame. But if you were Devin Haney and you get good money to fight Ramirez, and you’ll get great money to fight Garcia, because he assumed Garcia would win, why would he take the risk? But that’s not good for a boxer.
