Eddie Hearn: Haney vs Crocker Solely Occurs With Turki Cash

Haney wants the IBF title that Crocker holds to offer him extra bargaining energy for the rematch with Ryan Garcia or a battle towards Conor Benn. However he’s gotten accustomed to the massive cash from his fights towards Ryan, Jose Ramirez, and Brian Norman Jr. He gained’t wish to return to the times when he wasn’t being effectively paid for his providers.

It doesn’t matter that Haney’s final two performances have been uninteresting within the eyes of the followers. What issues is he gained, and the followers tuned in to see him for no matter purpose. Some followers watch Haney as a result of they’re hoping he loses, and so they wish to see it stay when it occurs.

“Until Turki Alalshikh turns round and makes that battle, who’s going to pay the cash that these guys need and wish for that battle? Trigger it doesn’t generate it,” stated Eddie Hearn by way of Belfastlive about Turki Alalshikh needing to be concerned to get Devin Haney to battle IBF welterweight champion Lewis Crocker.

A battle between Haney and Crocker wouldn’t promote on DAZN PPV. There wouldn’t be sufficient curiosity irrespective of the place the battle is staged. Crocker doesn’t have the title to get followers excited to observe him battle Haney on PPV.

“If we are able to make the Devin Haney battle or if we are able to make a giant battle with Keyshawn or whoever it’s going to be, we’ll have a look at it, however proper now we’ve acquired to make a defence,” stated Hearn.
