Devin Haney’s statement “I don’t fight for money” is contradicted by his former promoter, Eddie Hearn, and a history of financial decisions

Devin Haney was beaten by fans on social media today after demanding, “I’m not fighting for money” Prior to his title challenge against WBO Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr. On November 22 in Riyadh.

Hearn exposes Haney’s new motivation

Haney’s former promoter, Eddie Hearn, says he thinks he is fighting ‘just for money’. He mentions how Devin stopped being strategic in his match and is now a reckless approach and target fighters who will bring him the big bag.

Hearn calls Haney’s attempt to fight Theofimo Lopez and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. These are both fights that Devin would have paid millions.

Former IBF and WBA Welterweight Champion Ennis to Haney’s very criticized performance against Jose Ramirez reinforces Hearn’s view that Devin is being driven exclusively by money in his career. The shark-like Ennis would be a very risky battle for Haney to take to his back-to-back disappointing performances against Ramirez and Ryan Garcia.

“When Devin first started, he was just a big part. I don’t think he’s anymore so, ‘Hearn tells Australian box central. “I think it made Devin fall in love with the boxing sports. I think now, a big part of Devin is just fighting for money, and that’s when it’s dangerous because you’re not the same fighter.

Haney’s reckless approach

‘Bill and Devin, they don’t watch strategically. They are looking for the bag. That’s it, ‘says Hearn.’ So, they are like ‘where can we make us five, six, seven million? What struggle? “That’s why they said,” We fight “boots” at 147. We will fight theofimo. We will fight against Brian Norman. “Well, because they just want the money. So, they don’t care now. During the day, Bill was much more selective and tactical about who to fight. Now he just wants the money. “

Many fans believe Haney’s choice of Norman Jr. Is a red flag he has focused on money and a carefree approach to his career. Norman jr. Is considered one of the most difficult punchers in the 147 pound division, if not the most difficult.
