Promoter Bob Arum hopes that WBC mild welterweight champion Devin Haney will undergo along with his struggle towards necessary Sandor Martin subsequent.
Arum’s Prime Rank firm gained the purse bid yesterday to stage the Haney vs. Martin struggle, and he plans to stage it later this yr.
The Purse Bid and Contract
He’s not sure if Haney will signal the contract for struggle, which he’ll have ten days to signal as soon as he receives it. Arum says that if Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) decides to not comply with the struggle. he’ll lose his WBC 140-lb title and should determine what he’s going to do.
Haney was sad with the profitable bid of $2.42 million for the struggle, as he’s not going to get a hefty payday for his protection towards Sandor (42-3, 15 KOs).
“Eddie Hearn and DAZN have their very own agenda. Possibly their cash was directed elsewhere to different fights,” mentioned promoter Bob Arum to Fighthype about Eddie Hearn of Matchroom not placing in a bid for WBC mild welterweight champion Devin Haney’s struggle towards necessary Sandor Martin.
“We put a bid in primarily based on what we thought the struggle was value. We gained the bid, and no person else bid anyway, and we intend to place the struggle on if Haney is prepared to undergo with the struggle. If he’s not, he’ll quit the title and do different issues.
“We like that struggle. We expect Martin is underrated, and we predict it’s an attention-grabbing struggle, and hopefully, we will put it on. All we will do is put a bid in and ship every fighter a contract. They’ve ten days to signal the contract. In the event that they don’t signal it, and Sandor has indicated that he’ll signal it.
“If Haney doesn’t signal it inside 10 days, he’ll lose the title and determine one thing else to do. I’m hopeful that Devin will signal the contract, and we’ll do a struggle within the fall or winter with him and Sandor Martin
“If Devin decides to surrender his title and never struggle Martin, I’m not going to be offended at him,” mentioned Arum.
