“When you do the right thing, when you are positive, and honest to your fighters, when you're transparent – guess what? At the end of the day, the good guys always win.”

Reminds me of when Bob Arum - an actual lawyer - insisted that Wilder had no case when he sued Fury to follow through on a third fight and dismissed it as frivolous. Six months later Arum was sitting ringside watching Fury-Wilder 3. I suspect the same thing will happen with the Haney lawsuit: everyone will be laughing away and dismissing it until one day you suddenly see Garcia walking into a courtroom.

Haney is now shot, unfortunately, and will look even worse in the rematch. Hopefully, he wins this lawsuit and says he's done with the sport.

Devin Haney is in a very difficult situation. He has made a lot of money in his last 4 to 5 fights. He fought Kambosos twice and he would have been paid very well because any world title fight in Australia in big news and makes good money. Lomachenko still has a name so that would have helped with ticket sales as well. Ryan Garcia is a social medial star and that generated ticket sales and ppv buys. On his own Haney is a boring fighter with no real following. People are not breaking their legs running to buy his fights.

So what does he do now? Any fight that he is offered, he rejects because it does not come close to his last purse. In his mind he is a mega star and deserves big bucks. Unfortunately other that fighting Garcia again, nobody will pay him anything close to those type of earnings. The longer he hesitates going back into the ring for a stay busy fight, the more he will be in danger looking like a retired fighter and then Oscar De La Hoya will be right. He will be perceived as a shot fighter who is scared to get back in the ring with the big boys because he got beat up last time around. I don't think he is shot, but if he stays on the shelf for too long the road back will be very difficult.

Frivolous lawsuit, Granted.,But calling Hankey a 'shot fighter' sounds bit over the top Oscar, boy took an ass whipping alright but still young and not quite finished. And stop acting like Garcia didn't do nothing wrong, cause he did screw up...Big time ,at least until proven innocent and cleared.

How do you know that he’s shot if you haven’t seen him fight since the loss??

[Bullrider]

They better start the court proceedings ASAP. Nothing simple about this case. Six months is too short for these types of lawsuits. I couldn't care less, it's not my money pouring down straight to lawyers' pockets. I'd be curious about the result, though. A year from now I would think. Only few weeks from now it would be eclipsed with bigger, controversial news till it's totally forgotten. It's akin to CNN reporting the war in Ukraine, then a few weeks later they're into the Oscar awards or a celebrity passing away cover it 24/7.

ryan pulled at least 3 stunts for the haney fight, peds - overweight - playing possum pretending he was not ready smoking weed etc, luckily he got caught and at least has to pay some price for it all
