Devin "Mayweather Replica" Haney still can't let go of his loss to Ryan Garcia, but he's relieved that because Garcia is overweight, Haney still retains the WBC super lightweight title even after he loses. At the same time, he is rumored to have been paid handsomely in this contest.
This week, an account called "Trembling Boxing" posted via Instagram that Garcia had earned $50 million and Haney had earned $35 million.
After the relevant news came out, it attracted the attention of the outside world, and some people ridiculed Haney: It's worth losing! But some people think that $35 million may be unreliable, you must know that Hani does not have the same value as Carneiro Alvarez, why does he earn so much money?
Now, Haney has officially responded to the $35 million rumors, quoting a "trembling boxing" post on his social media, hinting at earning more honorarium. "If you think I got $35 million, think again, think about the bigger amount," Harney wrote.
According to Haney, he should have earned far more than $35 million, but even so, there are still people who think that Haney is bragging, especially when the PPV ratings have not been released for a long time, where did the $35 million come from? Of course, it is not excluded that Hani already knows the PPV data and has calculated the results in advance according to the share ratio, but this is just an assumption.
There is no exact data on Haney's earnings from past games, but when he played against Vasily Lomachenko last year, the guaranteed remuneration was $4 million, and when Garcia played against "Tank" Gvota Davis last year, the guaranteed remuneration of both sides was $5 million. Even if he gets a guaranteed remuneration of $10 million, and even if he knows the PPV ratings, it seems difficult to exceed $35 million, unless Haney has additional income, such as advertising endorsements.
Regarding Haney's loss to Garcia, former world super middleweight champion Carl Floch has expressed his opinion. Flocchi, who watched the bout as a guest on the stream, thought that Haney was pretty bad from a purely performance standpoint, especially when he couldn't handle Garcia's left hook.
"Garcia dominated Haney's jaw with a left hook and bang, Haney didn't know what was going on, he didn't know where to go, he didn't know what to do, he was more of a duck ducking and trying to dodge the attack to save himself, maybe Haney wasn't the fighter we thought he was at all," Florch said. ”
There is some truth in what Floch said, in the game, Haney basically dealt with Garcia's right hand straight punch, that is, to resolve the crisis by possessing the dodge, but unfortunately for Garcia's left hook attack, he really didn't have a good way, I feel that Haney always misjudged in terms of distance control, so that he was finally knocked down 3 times, and they were all hit hard by the left hook, you can think that Haney's ability to deal with this aspect is insufficient, and you can also think that Garcia's left hook has reached a magical situation.
Haney's fans are convinced that Garcia won due to an excess of 3.2 pounds, which made it difficult for Haney to bear. Flochi had something to say about this: "Maybe at 140 pounds, going over 3.2 pounds did affect Haney's play, it's just that I don't think Garcia is like a middleweight fighter as Eddie Hearn (Haney promoter) suggests, but Garcia was definitely more robust on the night of the fight. According to the agreement, Garcia accepted the fine for exceeding 3.2 pounds, and then he stepped into the ring and punched Haney up, there was nothing to complain about, and that was the way it was. ”
According to media reports, discussions about the Haney vs Garcia rematch have begun, but Garcia has made it clear that he will not drop his weight below 143 pounds, so the two sides may have a rematch in the 147-pound welterweight division, and there are rumors that Haney will give up the WBC super lightweight belt and choose to upgrade to make a complete break with Garcia, so what the final result is, we need to wait and see, and it is not clear what the rematch will look like if the rematch does take place? Will he be knocked down again?
