Bradley says Bill Haney has preserved Devin Haney’s leverage as reports of a direct multi-fight agreement with DAZN proceed.
Tim Bradley believes Bill Haney deserves credit for keeping Devin Haney in a robust negotiating position as reports of a direct multi-fight agreement with DAZN proceed. Bradley even gave Bill Haney a brand new nickname, calling him “Hood Houdini” for steering his son into what he sees as a good business position.
“I’m gonna call you Hood Houdini,” Bradley said on his channel. “Everybody thought that Haney was trapped within the corner. Hood Houdini. You wiggled your way out, man. You found an exit.”
Tim argued the move gives Haney greater control over sponsorships, gate revenue, site fees and pay-per-view income. He also believes a direct agreement with DAZN leaves Haney free to pursue the largest available fights as a substitute of operating under a single promotional structure.
“That is a possibility for him to bet on himself,” Bradley said.
Bradley also compared Haney’s position to Shakur Stevenson’s. He noted Shakur’s reported Zuffa contract carries a considerable purse but believes that difference gives Haney a stronger long-term business position.
“I got to agree with you guys,” Bradley said after polling his audience. “Haney has more value than Shakur Stevenson.”
Bradley credited Bill Haney for helping construct Devin’s profession without remaining tied to at least one promotional company for an prolonged period. He believes that strategy has preserved Haney’s leverage as negotiations proceed.
“The reality all the time involves the sunshine,” Bradley said. “We’ll see what happens.”
Bill Haney deserves the praise if the reported agreement reaches the finish line, Bradley believes. His latest nickname reflected that view.
“Hood Houdini,” Bradley said. “You wiggled your way out, man. You found an exit.”
