Haney is delusional about his earning power and the current reality. He was overpaid to take Lomachenko’s spot in hostile territory against Kambosos, had one of the most generous rematch clauses in history (Kambosos was the A side both times), was rewarded with the Loma fight (again Devin is the B-side) as TR was trying to keep that belt in house, fought at “home” in SF where Matchroom was more invested in Prograis winning (and initially the crowd seemed to be too), so again, inflated salary, and finally a definite B side (C side?) vs Ryan Garcia.

Haney has fought his way into these opportunities, so I’m not taking that away from him, but he needs a bigger name to carry the promotion. $1.75 mil for beating Sandor Martin, who alone couldn’t pull a gate of $100,000 in the U.S., is quite generous. Devin, however, is spoiled and too egotistical to look at the reality of his last 4 paydays.

He's boring. Is he good? Absolutely but he's boring in and out of the ring. He's been incredibly fortunate as you've said about his paydays. His dad deserves credit for that. He was one of the guys that DAZN over paid when they launched. Any ppv that does well with Devin main eventing did so because of his opponent. Nobody is having friends over to watch Devin Haney.
