Teofimo Lopez skeptical on Devin Haney $100 million speculation in the sport of boxing at the moment mentioned by Bill Haney.
Bill Haney father of Devin Haney and his manager mentioned the number on social media and has got the boxing world talking.
It’s not to say it isn’t possible of course but you’d have to think to get to that number if Haney is 27 only now and to achieve it by the age of 30, like Haney senior suggests, it would surely have to include a minimum of four fights although we think it would be more like a five-fight-deal over three years.
And it may also be made up of things like sponsorship, the money from the fights itself, ancillary rights and more.
So when you expand it to five fights over three years and say it included at least one Ryan Garcia fight, which would be a huge rematch, it is not that impossible.
That said, one of his rivals and current boxer Teofimo Lopez has said he doesn’t believe the number to be true at all and not accurate.
To be clear, there is no confirmation on the number yet and people are only speculating after Bill Haney mentioned Devin Haney would make that in a deal between now and the age of 30 (he’s 27 now).
Here’s further ways how a possible such deal could be put together (this is just for illustration ball park purposes):
A theoretical 5-Fight, 3-Year Deal for Devin Haney — $100,000,000 Total Value Breakdown
Assumptions only — hypothetical structure
Fight-Related Revenue: $75,000,000
- $60,000,000: Guaranteed purses — 5 fights x $12,000,000 average per fight
- $15,000,000: Performance upside — $3,000,000 average per fight from win bonuses, PPV/streaming revenue share, escalators
Non-Fight Revenue: $25,000,000
- $8,000,000: Sponsorship / patch deals — $1,600,000 per fight for trunk, shorts, robe, banner sponsors
- $5,000,000: Docuseries cut — $1,000,000 per fight window for “All Access” style content and talent fee
- $3,000,000: Merch & apparel royalty — 10% of $30,000,000 gross sales over 3 years
- $4,000,000: International site fee split — $2,000,000 each for 2 fights held in Saudi/UAE
- $1,500,000: NFT / digital collectibles — fight-week drops, split with platform
- $1,000,000: YouTube / streaming channel revenue — camp vlogs and sponsors across 5 camps
- $1,000,000: Training camp content licensing — $200,000 per fight sold to broadcaster
- $1,500,000: Appearance fees — 15 appearances over 3 years at $100,000 each
Total: $100,000,000
- Fight purses: $60,000,000
- Performance upside: $15,000,000
- Non-fight revenue: $25,000,000
The above is purely assumptions and is not meant to be what his proposed deal is.
It is simply to give boxing fans more of an idea of how such deals can be put together and factoring other revenues in.
Also, he’d need to have big fights in such a deal against the likes of Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson, Lamont Roach, Rolly Romero and others to reach such numbers.
Which is possible.
Who knows what fights Haney will have this year though.
Richardson Hitchins has also called out Devin Haney recently — so he’s a fighter in demand.
