“It’s easy to spin a story about why you don’t want to fight someone. I think that's what Ryan did. He said, “I won’t fight Devin because his team wants the lion’s share of the money.” I know it.
Look, Ryan is a huge guy, he made a huge amount of PPV in his fight against Gervonta Davis. These guys need each other. So I'm disappointed that we weren't able to give the fans this great fight.
Now Haney faces a mandatory defense against Sandor Martin. No offense to Martin, but this fight is not the icing on the cake. At some point Devin will have to deal with that and maybe move up to welterweight next,” Hearn said.
