“You Let the Welfare Feed You”: Bill Haney Rips Apart Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta Davis, and Terence Crawford, Ropes In Errol Spence Jr. and Vasyl Lomachenko After Devin’s Dominant Win Over Regis Prograis

Devin Haney achieved a significant victory in his division debut, securing the WBC super welterweight title with a unanimous decision against Regis Prograis. Furthermore, Prograis suffered his first defeat since October 2019. Haney expressed his satisfaction, calling it a “dream come true” and highlighting his disciplined approach to making the fight as easy as possible.

Following his victory, in a recent fiery exchange, Bill Haney minced no words as he called out Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis for what he perceives as lackluster efforts in promoting the sport. Bill Haney’s frustration is evident. He criticized the business model of charging fans exorbitant amounts for fights, declaring that the Haney camp is here to provide the best fights and pay the fighters accordingly.

The era of Devin Haney

Behind Bill’s bold statements is a belief in his son, Devin Haney, the champion of the boxing world. Bill passionately argued that Devin’s achievements at just 25 years old surpass those of Mayweather and Davis. “Floyd ain’t never did what Devin did at 25, Tank ain’t did it, nobody else ain’t did it,” he declared. The proud father highlighted Devin’s victories in seven different world championship fights, emphasizing that his son is the future of the sport.

Bill Haney dismisses the established order in boxing with a cutting line that not only challenges the current system but also throws down the gauntlet for change. When he says, “Listen, we don’t need you; let the welfare feed you for real,” it’s a bold declaration that implies a separation from the traditional way of conducting business in the sport. Furthermore, he made a dig at Tank, saying that if he continues on choosing “fake fights” it’s a one-way track into the welfare paycheck road for him.

Bill didn’t stop there; he aimed the pound-for-pound rankings, questioning the legitimacy of Terence Crawford‘s accomplishments. He argued that Crawford’s victory over Errol Spence was tainted by claims of Spence being depleted. According to Bill, Devin’s triumphs over top-notch opponents like Vasyl Lomachenko and Prograis, both at their best, should cement his status in the pound-for-pound conversation.

The essence of Bill Haney’s impassioned words lies in a father’s unwavering belief in his son’s abilities and an eagerness to reshape the narrative in the boxing world. It’s a narrative that challenges the established norms and demands recognition for the younger generation, led by the dynamic Devin Haney.
