Via Sean Jones: Negotiations have stalled between undisputed lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. and promoted WBC belt holder Eddie Hearn Devin Haney. According to SI, Haney (27-0, 15 KOs) was not satisfied with the financial package for the undisputed fight Kambosos.
Haney, 23, is a bad choice for Kambosos because he has a boring fighting style and it won’t attract much interest. Hearn thought he found gold when he signed Haney a few years ago; you could argue that he found the equivalent of donkey gold.‘
Haney won’t be the next Floyd Mayweather Jr, and he’s not attracting much interest in his fights in the US Maybe if Haney lived in the UK he would be famous, but not in the US
The popular Hoa fighters tend to be more entertaining and punchable power. Floyd Mayweather Jr is one of the rare cases in American boxing history when a non-boxer becomes a star.
Most of the time, light celebrities don’t become stars in the United States, and that’s why you must feel sorry for Hearn as some believe he paid too much for Haney.
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reports news of the Kambosos-Haney fight has stalled. He says negotiations are going well between Vasily Lomachenko and Top-promoted Kambosos, so that’s a possibility for the Australians’ next fight.
Ryan Garcia a possibility for Kambosos
In addition, Ryan Garcia is also one of the options for Kambosos. It will be a two-fight, where King Ry and Kambosos (20-0, 10 KOs) will fight temporarily in the first half of 2022 and then meet in the second half.
Sean Jones likes the idea of Kambosos fighting Ryan Garcia. It will be the kind of 50/50 fight that will attract a lot of interest from boxing fans.
Conversely, if Kambosos were to face Lomachenko, he would have VERY little chance of beating the talented two-time Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine. Lomachenko was too talented for the Kamabosos to beat him.
If Kambosos does make that deal, he will voluntarily defend against a potential bot lane contender before facing Ryan later this year. It’s unclear who Ryan (21-0, 18 KOs) will face.
Tevin Farmer recently mentioned that he’s running for Ryan’s next bout, but it’s unlikely he’ll fight as he has too much experience against the 23-year-old Golden Boy boxer.
Interestingly, Hearn hinted at trouble with talks with Kambosos this week when he revealed he had told Haney not to pay a heavy price in the negotiations because if he wins this fight, he will be a”overnight superstar. ”
Negotiations between George Kambosos Jr and Devin Haney are said to have stalled financially. It is reported that Kambosos Jr’s team is still negotiating a fight with Vasyl Lomachenko, although now also discussing a possible deal to face Ryan Garcia after the two have a temporary duel. time.[Based on[Accordingto][Dựatheo[Accordingto

Negotiations between Kambosos and Haney stalled
Mannix said to SI. “The officials involved have struggled to come up with a financial package that would satisfy Haney.
“While the Kambosos team…continues to discuss with Top Rated a deal to face Vasyl Lomachenko — negotiations for a two-match package have been relatively seamless — there are several building momentum towards a deal with Ryan Garcia.
“Kambosos and Garcia representatives discussed the framework of a two-man fight agreement that would see Kambosos and Garcia have interim fights in the first half of 2022 — Garcia was asked to return in April while Kambosos likes to fight in June — with Two Collisions in the second half of the year,” Mannix said.
If the idea is for the Kambosos to try to extend his time as a four-belt lightweight champion as humanely as possible, it’s childish to do the doubles deal with Golden Boy Promotion to face Ryan Garcia. the way to go.
