Initially when speaking on the negotiations, Haney readily admitted that he received what he deemed to be a very fair offer from Rolly and they only really needed to iron out the details.
Fast forward a short time later and Haney doesn’t appear at all satisfied with the financial terms of the agreement, as he outlined in a post on social media . Rolly, for his part, basically calls out Haney for balking when it was time to put pen to paper. “I want everybody to know I tried my absolute hardest to make this Devin fight,” Rolly said.
“Gave him 50% of the split, of everything, and apparently it’s not enough money but it’s a unification, it’s on PBC, it’s on Amazon Prime, it’s a PPV, all this stuff. And on top of that you get Amazon promoting it, PBC promoting, you get me promoting it — because Devin cannot promote anything to save his life. We’re talking about a dude that was on my undercard.
So, it’s actually insane. “Obviously, he’s afraid to get hit. We saw what I did to Ryan with no effort at all, so can you imagine what I do to Devin?
