Devin Haney wants handsome payday for return says Eddie Hearn

Boxing sensation Devin Haney wants a handsome payday in order to return to the ring, as per Eddie Hearn.

For the longest time, Devin Haney has served as one of the most interesting figures in the sport of professional boxing. He was seen as crisp, calm and collected, and he was able to pick up wins over some huge names.

However, in his latest outing against Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney didn’t have any answers. In addition to being dropped several times, he was defeated on the scorecards by ‘King’. He did, however, see that fight get overturned to a no contest after Garcia tested positive for a banned substance.

As we look ahead to the immediate future, it seems as if Haney is preparing for a big comeback – and according to Eddie Hearn, he wants to be paid big.

Eddie Hearn reveals Devin Haney’s desires

“For the amount of money he wants to have a comeback fight, that’s not easy because, generally, a comeback fight isn’t a great fight. Who’s going to pay for it? If you can find someone to pay great money for a comeback fight, maybe that’s BLK Prime.” (interview via BoxingScene)

Eddie Hearn promoted Devin Haney for a while and knows him very well. For the latter, this is about making a statement. It’s all well and good having that fight overturned, but for a lot of fans and pundits, he was still largely outclassed. If he can get back to his best form and maybe get a finish, he’ll be right back in the big time.

Who will he end up fighting if he can get through his first return opponent? Well, that’s anyone’s guess – but nobody can deny that this is one of the most interesting stories in boxing right now.
