Devin Haney says he wants a fair fight with Ryan Garcia in a statement after his first loss.
Devin Haney Denies $35 Million Pay Day
The WBC Super Lightweight Champions Says ‘Think Bigger’
Despite Haney’s defeat in the match held last Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, reports claimed that he earned a substantial $35 million.
However, Haney denies the reports and says that his earnings exceed that amount. On his Instagram Story, Haney shared a photo of the earnings report and wrote, “”If you thought I made 35.. think again. Think bigger b*tch”
While he didn’t reveal his earnings, Haney’s sizable payday marks a significant milestone in his career, likely surpassing any previous earnings from his past fights. Despite the loss, Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) is already clamoring for a rematch with Garcia. However, securing a similar payday may prove challenging for Haney, especially if he opts to defend his WBC light welterweight title against mandatory challenger Sandor Martin in his next bout.
Ryan Garcia Reveals Health Concerns Were a Hoax After Devin Haney Victory
Ryan Garcia revealed that he has fooled the public in a recent interview.
However, Haney has several options at his weight class for big paydays albeit smaller than his purse for the Garcia fight. A unification bout with Teofimo Lopez or Subriel Matias will do big numbers.
In addition, Haney can seek redemption from his first loss by attempting to become undisputed in his second weight class while a world title still evades Ryan Garcia, who is campaigning to fight Gervonta Davis in a rematch or Errol Spence. Garcia has also called out Jarron Ennis and UFC champion Sean O’Malley. Therefore, the boxing star is far from being set on his next opponent.
