Former world champion Paul Malignaggi lashed out at Devin Haney with criticism.
"You do realize that Devin Haynie was demanding too big a check when he came back from his fight with Ryan Garcia and didn't want to fight for $1.75 million against Sandor Martin, having been defeated the night before? When he didn't want to fight for $1.75 million against Martin after such a blow to his image, I thought, "What the hell are you paying this guy for?" His resume is overflowing with grandfathers, and then he didn't even beat Lomachenko. He was just given a gift.
You have to ask yourself: "Who was paying Haney to fight guys in a wheelchair?" What the hell was that? It's just either the Saudis are rocking the market or the West is purposely creating stars by deciding who they want to promote and letting them become fake stars. Devin Haney was fighting guys from the nursing home and getting a lot of money," Malignaggi said.
