Invoice Haney, the dad and coach of former WBC gentle welterweight champion Devin Haney, took to social media to launch a wild-eyed rant aimed toward Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya.
Nonetheless bitter about De La Hoya talking his thoughts this week about Devin’s lack of ability to promote, Invoice accused the well-known ex-multi-division world champion of being the “intermediary” and jealous about Dev’s success throughout his brief profession.
Invoice says De La Hoya obtained mad after his fighter Ryan Garcia obtained caught dishonest, after which he began operating his mouth, making up lies about Devin’s marketability.
Accusations of Dishonest and Lies
“Oscar De La Hoya, the glorified intermediary that’s operating round like he’s an enormous Willie with the community DAZN’s cash,” mentioned Invoice Haney, Devin’s dad, on social media, taking a shot at Golden Boy Promotions boss Oscar De La Hoya.
“Oscar, you didn’t get mad till your fighter, Ryan Garcia, obtained caught dishonest. You then began mendacity, saying Devin ain’t promoting. Oscar, you haven’t offered since Canelo Alvarez, and he mentioned you had been unhealthy enterprise,” mentioned Invoice.
Devin’s PPV monitor document isn’t nice. So it’s laborious for Invoice to refute De La Hoya’s feedback about Devin not having the ability to promote, however he doesn’t have fights that may show that he does promote.
The PPV numbers haven’t been launched but for the Haney vs. Ryan Garcia battle, however they’re rumored to be disappointing. Whose fault is that? Would that be Haney’s?
Evaluating Ticket Gross sales and Recognition
“You mentioned we ain’t promoting. Our final 5 occasions have been jam-packed with over 100,000 individuals, greater than anyone in your roster at the moment. So, Mr. Oscar De La Hoya, I wish to know: are you stealing, or are you jealous that Devin ‘The Dream’ Haney is the youngest undisputed champion within the four-belt period? That’s an period you participated in,” mentioned Invoice.
Promoting tickets and PPVs are two various things. A fighter can appeal to many followers to their fights by giving out complimentary tickets, providing low fire-sale costs, and being in style in a small part of a metropolis. Bringing in PPV buys is totally different as a result of it requires reputation nationally, and you’ll’t give these away as comps or decrease costs.
A Private Assault
“I do know we didn’t offered out, however I do know it’s one factor that I want hurry up and promote out, and that’s fishnets. So you retain your a** out of it,” mentioned Invoice to De La Hoya.
