Lowkey inspiring to see Ryan Garcia honing in on his weaknesses.

Not easy to do but I think he’s internally ready to change and DJ has given him an environment where he will be pushed but with tough love.
As much as Ive called him out for his weaknesses and goofy shyt I have ALWAYS said numerous times that he's young enough to improve if he wants to. He has the talent, all he needs to do is find someone who knows what they are doing and buy in.


Derrick James camp is the best place he could be at this stage of his career. When AJ went to train with Derrick it was meh, because i know you can only teach so many tricks to an old dog. But Ryan is under 25, he could still be molded to forget his old habits.

Let's be honest. 75-25 is a CRAZY split. I don't even think canelo gets 75-25 splits. The purse split has always been about drawing power. And Devin does not have the type of drawing power to demand 75% against anybody. Is he gonna bring 75% of the fans?

Shakur and Devin are basically on the same level when it comes to fanbase. Devin definitely deserves the lion share as the undisputed champ. But 75% is wild. Shakur isn't a no name scrub. 65-35 I think is the right split.

Shakur has no belts though. I dont even think he is the mando either. He either takes that split or waits for haney to frop the belts

If he think he ez work then go beat him, Haney side said hed make more than he ever has even with that split and I dont see why they would be lying as Shakur didnt dispute it

The split is fine.

because Devin doesn't actually need Shakur.

If Shakur really thought he was that dude, he would take the 25, snatch the belts off of him, and then make whatever split he wants to make in his next big PPV fight as the A side. Shakur hasnt accomplished shyt at 135lbs and no one wants to fight him. You take what you can get. Thats why Dev took the Australian slave deal.

Haney had all the belts vs Loma too and Loma didn't get 25%. In fact it was damn near 50-50 with Haney getting a guaranteed 4 mil and Loma 3.

If bud and porter could do 60-40 there's no way in hell Haney vs Shakur should be 75-25. 75-25 is the type of split superstars get against no name euro cacs. Like I said...purse splits have always been about drawing power. And Haney simply does not do the numbers to justify a 75% split.

65-35 is more than fair. He's still getting damn near double the pay.

Not really the same Loma has some collosal dikk riders and has actually done work at 135 :yeshrug:

Shakur my fav boxer atm besides Monster so if he can negotiate a better split cool. But Haney already took a shyt deal for those belts so I doubt he has much sympathy. If he goes to campaign at 140 would Shakur have to go get the belts one by one?

IDK just seems easiest to pack up Haney if he as ass as tank and shakur think he is.

BINGO!!! Don't need him and don't owe him shyt

And he did that hoe ass shyt where he was saying Loma won 8 rounds or something after the fight lol. Could have easily just said it was a good fight but I want next but nope had to be sensational. So if I was Haney I def wouldnt be doing him no favors

In a perfect world sure.. but Shakur went and did some hoe shyt getting in the ring proclaiming that Lomachenko should be the undisputed champion. So you gotta ask yourself as the undisputed king why would you give Shakur anything beyond the minimum split.. :yeshrug:
