Devin Haney vs Regis Prograis - December 9, 2023. Who you got?

If Haney beats Regis, but struggles, I would have to think that Davis will fight him. It's the biggest money fight Davis can find, and maybe he'll view Haney as vulnerable.

If Haney dominates Regis and looks good at 140, then Tank's pussy ass won't fight him.

 

why is he popular though? what does he do or say to make the young hip hop community take notice?

haney and davis aint happening, due to weight.

 

I couldn't tell ya. It ain't my generation anymore.

I don't know why these TikToker homos like what they like.

I think 99% of what they like is retarded. I may sound like an old man yelling at a cloud, but oh well.

 

Social media is no doubt a factor. Guessing Haney in this day and age is harnessing it far better than Ward did.

 

Yep...

Dev's Been Flooding the Internet w/Sparring Footage and Other Videos Since He was a CHILD...8th Year as a Pro, But Dev Was In the Conscious of Boxing Fans 3-5 Years PRIOR to That...

I got Haney via clear UD.

Tank would never fight him.

 

Is that what made him popular? His sparring must be a hell of a lot more exciting than his actual matches

 

I mean, he's not some megastar. It's impressive that he sold out the Warriors arena, but it's not like anyone outside of us hardcores are buying this PPV. Well, maybe a few casuals will, but not many.

He is the third most popular Black American fighter. Tank is far and away the most popular. Then second I would say is now Bud after the Spence win.

Haney's a lot more popular nationwide than Shakur, that is for sure.

 

What about wilder

 

His star power took a pretty big hit after getting raped twice by Fury. Wilder's no longer the mainstream star now that he was 3-5 years ago. Plus I think he lost a lot of fans from his comical excuses and conspiracy theories.

 

REED Imagines the Sheer AMOUNT of Videos Put Out Led to Dev's Name Being EMBEDDED In the Minds of Some; Not Soooooo Much the QUALITY Of Dev Himself....REED Heard the Name a Couple Years PRIOR To Dev Fighting on National TV (a ShoBox Bout if REED's Not Mistaken)....

Hanging Out at Floyd's Gym Certainly DIDN'T Hurt Either...



REED

 

What X Said, Plus Wilder's Had LESS Than 3 Minutes of Ring Time in 2 YEARS....Out of SIGHT, Out of MIND...



REED

 

Wilder is still a bigger draw than haney

 

Of Course, He's a Heavyweight KO Artist Who Will Literally FIGHT Anybody, Not Just SAY It...




REED

 

Exactly. More popular than haney

 

How EXACTLY Do You GAUGE "Popularity" Though???...PPV Buys???...Social Media Followers???...Endorsers???...Word of Mouf'???...There's a GENERATIONAL Aspect That X Touched On, Which BENEFITS Dev Undoubtedly...

While Your Typical BOXING Crowd Will Gravitate to Wilder More Readily, Dev is More MAINSTREAM @ the Moment, in REED's Opinion...Not Expecting That to Last Toooo Terribly Loooooooooooooong Though, Because an L is Coming Soooooon for Dev, if Not Saturday Night....That Said, as REED Types, Dev is MORE Mainstream Than Wilder, For Whatever it's Worth...

Dev's UNDEFEATED; Wilder Endured 2 BRUTAL Ass Whuppings....Dev's as ACTIVE as Any Current Elite Fighter; Wilder Has LESS Than 3 Minutes of Ring Time in 2 Years...Dev Steals Just ENOUGH of Floyd's "Money" Swag to Strike a Familiar Cord w/Casuals; Wilder Became a TURNOFF to Many Black Fans and Casuals for Fancying Himself as T'Chala from Black Panther and/or the Modern Day Ali...T'Chala and Ali were REGAL, Wilder is Anything BUT That...

REED Likes Wilder More, Lame Post-Fury EXCUSES Notwithstanding...REED Would Rather WATCH Wilder Fight Than Dev Fight....If REED Bothered to FOLLOW Either on Social Media, it'd Probably Be Wilder...But Dev RESONATES, Currently, in a Way that ESCAPES Wilder, Post-Fury....

He Just DOES...





REED

 

Yeah, Wilder's simply not all that popular anymore. Pre-Fury, he had the "Baddest Man on the Planet" aura going, but now he's generally seen as a buffoon.

The thing about Wilder is that his charisma seems FORCED. He tries to sound witty like Ali. He tries to sound intimidating like Mike. It just falls flat. He's dumb as a fucking brick, unlike Ali, so his attempts at wit fall flat. And he doesnt have Mike's natural ability to strike fear. So he tries tooooo hard to scare his opponents.

He's a fake, and now people have seen through it.

 

I like neither but the among casual fans I interact with more know wilder than haney and I'm sure that's true throughout society

 

In 2023, in the US at least, Tank vs Haney would sell more PPVs than Wilder-Joshua. Both guys (AJ/Wilder) are seen as washed and irrelevant in the sport.

I'm sure in the UK, Wilder-Joshua would be the much bigger fight, but that's because AJ is a star.

 

I'm not arguing davis is a draw. Haney isnt

 

I don't like either myself. Both are clowns. But I dislike Tank MORE than I dislike Wilder and Haney. At least Haney and Wilder have ambition. The Baltimore pussy does not.

 

But you just made the point that he sold out the Chase arena.

Typically the only lightskinned brother who sells out the Warriors arena is Steph.

 

Yea he sold well in his hometown. How many buys will it do tho?

If wilder fights a legit opponent he's doing 6 figures minimum

And I fuckin hate wilder

 

Enough about this draw BS, let's get down to the FIGHT.

Regis sure has talked a big game. He's gonna look foolish if he doesn't back it up.

 

I'm watching a Haney interview right now. This guy tries sooooo hard to talk like the Grand Rapids stripper dater. He evens drops "at the end of the day" after every sentence. So cringe.

 

One thing I WILL SAY that gives me hope: Regis is a good finisher. Loma's no finisher. Neither is Linares. But Regis knows how to get a guy out of there when he has them going.

That one thing gives me some optimism.

 

Screamin A had Haney on his podcast. That helps capture some casual eyes.

 

I kind of.like Haney. Not the must exciting guy in the ring, but he has the balls to fight elite opposition. Which is a refreshing change in this world of divas instababes boxers

 

I think you being a youtuber are the most qualified to tell us how a guy like Dev can sell out any Arena fighting a virtually unknown (by the casuals)in Prograis when he doesn't excell any any one particular thing. I think it's just exposure. Him and his father put themselves out there constantly doing interviews in different popular boxing channels. I remember seeing Dev and his Father in an interview with punshdrunk. He's no Ego or Dontae but has a good amount of followers. As popular as Mike Tyson is or was imagine how famous he would be had he fought during this era.

 

Exactly I like Haney always willing to take on all challenges. In this day and age of guys like Andrade who piss their careers away waiting on the sidelines guarding their O it's refreshing to see a young man like Haney. Don't know why he gets so much hate? Is it cause he's not hood enough? At least that's what im hearing.
