At the press conference, the former two-division world champion Haney angered Ryan Garcia by telling the press conference monitor Todd Grishamhe fought with a guy with PED during his defeat at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last April.
Devin’s father, Bill Haney, is ideal for villains, and you can say he’s always played the role in the beginning. Bill roared today, complaining that Todd Grisham did not praise Devin at the press conference.
It’s fun to listen to Bill, I’m not sure if it’s an act. He looked serious. Bill sounds like he wants Grisham to be the next king, Boint Devin.
“Bad Man” plan
At the time, Devin played the villain because he knew it would get a reaction from Garcia. It doesn’t matter that Hanni makes fans hate him because he still has to win to be effective.
Fans won’t pay attention to the fighters who are defeated all the time. Devin will lose Ryan Garcia last April, and if he loses to Ramirez, it will be two in a row. Haney’s stock will continue to decline and his villain will make no sense.
Haney (31-0, 15 KO) was booed while sitting at the table. He did not play any role at the time. He was considered a homeless person due to his lawsuit against Ryan Garcia. Devin did not take any action. He was hated by many fans and thought the move was weak.
“I always wanted to be a villain…I can be a villain,” said Devin Haney Ring MagazineHe expressed positive interest in his disgust and booing during a press conference in Los Angeles on Monday.
“It’s easier for villains to be villains. At that time, Floyd (Mayweather) became a star when he became a villain. I think that’s where I crossed to be a huge star. People want to see me losing now.
“They want to pay to see me lose. So. I’m glad. I’m a good guy, but I’m a villain. I’m secretly a bad guy, but I act like that guy,” Hanney said.
