^ I'm not really sure if this is a good idea to stream the fight for free, it's going to be a double black eye for Eddie Hearn if he do that. He might be paying Haney with big money already so with that, I think he has lost some money already as it's hard to promote Haney because we all know that he doesn't have that charisma to the boxing fans maybe because of his styles.

But if you look at his records, still very young and undefeated and undisputed at 135 lbs, so that is a big accomplished already. But for us boxing fans, we want some real action in the ring and doesn't like boxers who doesn't take risk, just saying.

I don't think that it is his style though, I mean, look at Shakur they are about the same style but the latter doesn't have any problems when it comes with selling a fight. Their only difference is that Haney being a champion, is a boring one and who don't even know how to market a fight successfully so that he can grab more cash money after the fight and not just his promoter alone. But no, he doesn't care about that because he got no passion about marketing a fight at all and if his last fight wasn't against Loma, I highly doubt that they can afford to gain a decent income.

Haney was just fortunate because the time were in favor of him that is why he managed to get those belts in a much easier way, some could argue that but I still think that he got all those four easily and without starting from scratch just to unify all those things on his possession. I mean, he waited for the guys to clash first before he makes his entrance so it'll be hitting two birds in just one stone.

But this time, he doesn't think anymore that his time is still on his side that is why he is making a move towards super-light and fight a champion, Regis. Although, there are still problems because it seems to me that they are still not on the same page that is why the contract is still hanging without any signature.

Last time I read, this fight is still a go, but the date has change and it's going to be around December 9. So that is a big push already from the original date of October, but just like the rest of you guys, the question is, is this a PPV worthy for us boxing fans? Or at least they should have streamed this for free?

I mean we have been discussing that they might be losing some money already here and so I'm thinking that it might be good if they will just go for free and so they won't be disappointed with the PPV numbers that will come later.

So according to Eddie Hearn, this fight is still alive but the signed October 28 date is off. Eddie is looking for the last week of November or early December as its new date.

So it was just a push, but still good to hear that the fight is still going to happen despite what we heard with Regis.

Even though the fight was postponed and there is no definite date when it can be held it will still take place and the cancellation of the initial schedule was only due to a small problem that occurred.
The Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney fight has become one that all boxing fans have been waiting for and it looks like the two fighters holding the WBC belt will show a pretty fierce fight.
Devin Haney is the most impatient to immediately carry out this fight.

It's just that Devin Haney wanted to exploit Regis Prograis so he acts like he is in a hurry. Haney had been training already and he wanted to catch Prograis to have less training than the usual 2 months camp.

Anyway, this fight is a go. The final date is on December 9 at the Golden State Warriors' Chase Center in San Francisco, California. So at least Eddie Hearn did not follow the Haneys' request of making the fight on an earlier date which put Prograis at a disadvantage. I'm excited and I am looking forward to the champion Prograis landing his powerful punches on Haney. Cheesy

The details are already out for the public to know that this fight will be pushed through at a later date instead of what was discussed few weeks before, they made it seem that this is already a done deal so that there are still some room for them to market the fight and gather some hype but the truth is, it's not really that done because Regis said that they are still waiting for Haney's camp to sign the contract.

I wonder why they haven't signed the contract before like what Prograis did. Matchroom and DAZN and not dumb to not make necessary adjustments when needed. The fans are starting to figure out that the Haneys are starting to follow the Mayweather way which is to exploit its opponents, cherry-pick the weakest ones, money first, and try to trash-talk and do some stunts to market their fights. I even doubt Haney will pick to challenge Prograis' belt if he knocked out his last opponent. Not to mention that the lineal champion in this division is Teofimo Lopez having won the WBO belt from former undisputed champion Josh Taylor. And Bob Arum tried to push hard for Haney to face Teofimo but the former want the safest route. Also, Teofimo Lopez is obviously the biggest money maker of all the 4 champions in this division.

That is the downside of this business, they tend to forget that it's about making the people entertain while gaining lots of profits from it. But in todays day and age, boxers are behaving more like a star instead of a warrior because they are prioritizing their business first instead of giving the people what they want by having strong boxers facing another strong boxer.

Haney is good and people believed in him for that because he is unlike any other boxers out there but it all started when he faced Loma, I bet he underestimated the latter because he thought that Loma was already over in his time but that was not what happened, after that, he became scared and opted to go for Regis just to avoid facing Shakur. He might got his way now but the challenge is that Regis is not easy to crack, that is why they are making some way right now to give a disadvantage towards the champion.

I haven't seen enough hype about this fight. The media is more focused on Canelo and Crawford nowadays. I wonder if Eddie made the right call by signing Regis Prograis and Devin Haney. These guys aren't cheap and will be paid millions of dollars but they need to sell tickets, PPV, and convince companies for sponsorships. Maybe the fans are tired of Haney's boring style and while Prograis packs a punch, he is not that popular to the casuals.

Fight is still months to go so there are no hype currently. But maybe when the fight approaches, they are going to sell this fight as both are trash talkers. I do agree that Eddie might have sign this boxers for good amount of money so he needs to get it back. But not sure how, they need some good storyline to sell this fight to the boxing fans. And Eddie might be losing money in the end.

There's only one reason why the fight was moved: people are not interested in watching it. I'm not sure if this will really happen despite the announcement that it could take place later this year. It still depends on how the fans will react to this fight. If it's not going to be profitable for the promoters, it will likely be off this year. I would bet on the outcome; I think it's not going to happen this year.

With lots of exciting fights happening now, who would want to watch Haney, a somewhat boring boxer, against a non-popular champion?

It might be true. The real hype starts once the date of the fight is getting nearer. Both do not like each other right now so we might see an exciting press conference and face-offs during the fight week. Selling tickets in the venue might not be that hard but I guess the PPV buys will be only around 200k. Hopefully, we'll see good matchups in the undercards.

Maybe we'll make a friendly bet, I believe this fight will happen this year. Grin

I still watch this fight live because I want to see if Regis Prograis can land his power shots on Devin Haney. Regis is not that popular but I like him, he is exciting to me because he knocks people out.

In addition, this will be a testament for Eddie, if he can really bring the hype on this fight. Previously, all of his fights involved high profile boxers like Canelo.
But since Canelo didn't sign a contract with him, and so he has to find fighter that can bring money for his business in the US.
And as we all know, he has been criticitized by his competitor, specially Top Rank's Bob Arum.
By chance if he losses millions here, then he might have to fight or sign popular boxers in his stable to at least break even in this fight.
I do agree that Regis is exciting because he is a heavy puncher, but he is not well known amongst boxing fans.

I'd say that it will be one of the few reasons for Regis to strive even harder so that he can make a name for himself, he might not be that known in this industry even if he's already a champion but defeating someone like Devin Haney will certainly put him on the map and people will begin to know more about him, as well as his records in the past. Everyone loves an underdog story, just like how Bivol started to be famous.

People are also not taking things seriously because both camps seems not interested as well because of the fighting they had, we know that both of them don't like each other but they need to find that exact date where both of them will agree so that they can begin building their hype as they need that to have that specifically to make more money aside from the guaranteed millions that they're getting.

About the PPV buys, targeting for over 500k seems a little bit impossible to attain and it's too much to ask as well considering that both names aren't that loud in this industry. So yes, 200-250k is somehow possible and close to reality. I bet Eddie Hearn is now cracking his brain for this because time has already lost.

Well, this is one of the reasons why Eddie Hearn will still take this fight because he spent money to sell it and make more profit.
It is normal to have other goals by seeking profits in every match.

So according to Eddie Hearn, this fight is still alive but the signed October 28 date is off. Eddie is looking for the last week of November or early December as its new date.

So it was just a push, but still good to hear that the fight is still going to happen despite what we heard with Regis.

I haven't seen enough hype about this fight. The media is more focused on Canelo and Crawford nowadays. I wonder if Eddie made the right call by signing Regis Prograis and Devin Haney. These guys aren't cheap and will be paid millions of dollars but they need to sell tickets, PPV, and convince companies for sponsorships. Maybe the fans are tired of Haney's boring style and while Prograis packs a punch, he is not that popular to the casuals.

Fight is still months to go so there are no hype currently. But maybe when the fight approaches, they are going to sell this fight as both are trash talkers. I do agree that Eddie might have sign this boxers for good amount of money so he needs to get it back. But not sure how, they need some good storyline to sell this fight to the boxing fans. And Eddie might be losing money in the end.

Yeah, it's a big gamble that Eddie Hearn and his company sign this two boxers who for me hasn't had a good solid followers. No doubt that they are great boxers, but in the current state of boxing industry, you need to sell fights, you need to fill the arena with people that are willing to pay expensive tickets just to see boxers give a good show.

And I don't think that the 2 fits that perfectly. Haney is the undisputed in 135 lbs, but it takes two to tango to make the fight sell, just like in his last fight against Loma. As for Regis, 140 lbs? doesn't have a good name to bring the hype in this division.

I still wanted this fight to be a show though, maybe the Haney's are cooking something and then in the last minute, will inform that this fight is a go. This fight is schedule for October so there's a lot of leeway for both teams to make the fight.

I'm hoping for the same thing too but I'm curious though, we're now in the month of September but still both camps are quite about it. There are even no news that are saying that their fight is already set and that their contract is already signed by both camps so it will really happen in the month of October.
So, if they are looking forward for the same thing then both of them should've agreed with the terms by now because time flies fast and the next thing we know, we're already in October.

October is good but as of this moment, they are already behind their supposed timeline and they can't just suddenly announce it now that their fight will still happen at their agreed date because there are a lot of factors that they needed to be considered first specially after the fact that next month is already October.

I suppose that their negotiation will resume before this month ends because from what I know, Regis was targeting the 28th of October and Haney's camp doesn't want it as that is the very same day of the Fury vs Ngannou fight. I think that's also the reason why Haney's camp suggested that they should move in an earlier date.

So the date remains alive but we haven't heard from the Haney team if they are still fighting on the said date. The contract has been signed though so I also wonder if the Haney's are just going to honor the date.

As for Regis Prograis, it's very funny since he said that if Haney is not ready then he is looking forward to giving Adrien Broner a shot at his belt. And Broner lately also said that he is back and is interested in facing the belt holders. It's funny though. I wonder if Broner can still make the 140-weight limit. Broner with his popularity became the target of Prograis, Rolly Romero, and Ryan Garcia. They're probably seeing Adrien Broner as a high reward with low low risk. Cheesy

I think Rolly Romero has to deal with his own health issues if I'm not mistaken. But I go agree, probably it's less risk for them as we all know that Adrien is no longer a great (good) fighter, Marcos Maidana took his soul already.

I still wanted this fight to be a show though, maybe the Haney's are cooking something and then in the last minute, will inform that this fight is a go. This fight is schedule for October so there's a lot of leeway for both teams to make the fight.
