Tim Bradley believes the growing links between Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Zuffa Boxing have less to do with avoiding certain opponents and more to do with the extraordinary financial opportunities now available in the game.<\/p>\n

Speculation surrounding Haney and Stevenson potentially joining Dana White\u2019s boxing enterprise has intensified in recent weeks, with each fighters operating without long-term promotional commitments.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s going to give you the chance to pay them that kind of money. It doesn\u2019t matter anywhere else they go, they\u2019re not going to make that kind of money,\u201d Bradley said on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will recall and return when PBC got established, they were overpaying fighters. Eddie Hearn\u2019s with DAZN, they began overpaying fighters. Without delay, it\u2019s the period without delay for these fighters, especially at the highest tier, in the event that they\u2019re trying to make buku money, it\u2019s the right opportunity now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that being said, that’s the explanation why I see Haney and likewise Shakur Stevenson signing on that dotted line,\u201d Bradley said. \u201cHow they going to do it, that\u2019s different. How they set their contract, that\u2019s going to be different.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou simply make any such money once in a lifetime. This can be a perfect opportunity for each of those guys due to the kind of life-changing money that they\u2019re going to be getting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stevenson fulfilled his promotional obligations with Matchroom earlier this 12 months after previously departing Top Rank, leaving the WBC lightweight champion and not using a formal promoter. Haney, meanwhile, has largely handled his profession alongside his father, Bill Haney, following previous partnerships with each Matchroom and Top Rank.<\/p>\n

Any move involving Haney could still be complicated by his position as WBO welterweight champion. The sanctioning body recently reaffirmed that his mandatory obligation against top contender Keyshawn Davis stays due next, despite discussions surrounding other potential bouts.<\/p>\n
