Devin Haney will fight on BLK Prime on March 25

Devin Haney will fight on BLK Prime on March 25. The streaming service posted a Tweet informing its followers that Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will fight on BLK Prime next. This suggests that it will be a PPV.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Where is Turki Al-Shiekh to help this young star in this low moment? It’s really sinking into the deep end.

Haney is not a pay-per-draw game and would have to face someone notable to achieve a respectable amount of buys. He will be coming off an 11 month layoff and it would be risky for him to fight a solid contender or a world champion at 140 or 147.

This is a move that will further cement the belief that Haney’s career is over and that he is just running out of steam. Obviously he will still try to get a rematch with Ryan Garcia, but if he doesn’t, he may end up fading into obscurity.

BLK Prime Returns

Boxing fans on social media are ridiculing the news that Haney will fight on BLK Prime, seeing it as a setback for him from his fights on DAZN and ESPN. It’s not likely that many people will see him fighting at BLK Prime unless the event attracts a lot of interest.

It’s a big fall for Haney, who lost to Ryan Garcia by 12-round majority decision last year on April 20, and hasn’t fought since. Devin’s stock has fallen sharply since that loss and his subsequent decision to sue Ryan for assault, fraud and breach of contract.

It’s unclear if this will be a long-term situation for Haney or just a one-time fight on BLK Prime. If he loses the fight, he might as well stay because his chances of fighting on a major network would be slim. Ryan Garcia won’t need a rematch with Haney, 26, if he loses to a can of tomato.

It would be interesting to know if Devin’s father, Bill Haney, is the one behind his decision to fight on BLK Prime.

Terence Crawford fought David Avanesyan on BLK Prime on December 10, 2022. The fight was rumored to have performed poorly on PPV, but that was the only time Crawford fought on that network.

Two years ago, former four-division world champion Adrien Broner was supposed to fight Ivan Redkach at BLK Prime, but the bout was canceled and never took place. That’s another fight that probably would have had bad PPV numbers.
