So give Matias a rematch in Australia,should be easier right?

What is there to be gained from a rematch with Matias? The fight was not even close or controversial in any way. I can understand it from Matias's point of view, but what does Paro get to benefit / gain from a rematch? Absolutely nothing. If you a professional athlete and your working life is limited, you go for the most money and/or the most kudos - ideally both. Therefore, you select other champions who are popular and will bring the belt and audience to the table. Matias does not bring either. Waste of time talking about it.

What a lucky guy this Haney fellow is. He's always been in money fights and he doesn't have to go through mid to high risk, low reward fights like Sandor Martin, Jamaine Ortiz, Jose Ramirez, Commey, Nakatani, Puello, etc.

[wrecksracer]

considering what Haney was being offered for Sandor Martin, is Haney really a money fight? He's a free agent that promoters aren't interested in.

Haney came up the hard way. When he went pro, he was crossing the border to fight in Mexican bars. He spent years being called the email champ when Sulaiman was trying to force the franchise BS. He bet on himself as the B-side to win undisputed. I'm not even a fan, but calling him lucky to be in money fights is... I thought you'd know better. It's hilarious that he's being called the money guy too, because he's not really a draw anyways.

Boxing is more than just business.Paro fancies himself as heroic,hence he should do the sportsmanlike thing and rematch Matias .Scared ?

Doesn't really matter what you, me and others think now. Eddie Hearn is unstoppable in making this Haney/Paro fight happen in Australia. Precisely why Paro says Haney is a money fight, and it's possible offers were already made in advanced. And now fans will only have wonder about the date of the fight.

More people will buy haneys fighting Australia than America lmao. Paro will beat him anyways possibly knock him out if he’s not recovered fully from the beatdown princess ry gave him. Paro ain’t a dummy he’s choosing his fights wisely. I like the kid

[tokon]

Can't really fault what Paro is saying; he beat the champ on his home patch and is now entitled to a defence on his own home patch. Puello, Lopez and Cruz are the other titleholders at 140. Who wants the fight?
