Devin Haney Revives $100 Million Mystery

The WBO welterweight champion posted on X: “Raping the game until I’m the 100 million dollar man!” While much of the reaction centered on his choice of words, the bigger takeaway was Haney’s reference to becoming a “$100 million dollar man.”

Haney did not explain what he meant, leaving it unclear if he was referring to a future promotional agreement, career earnings, or another business opportunity.

Reports linking Haney to a massive payday have circulated for months after his father, Bill Haney, hinted that a nine-figure deal was in the works. Nothing has been officially announced, however, and Devin has never publicly confirmed signing such an agreement.

His latest post raises the subject again without providing any details.

The timing comes while Haney is in the middle of negotiations for his next fight. The WBO has ordered him to make a mandatory defense against Keyshawn Davis, with a purse bid scheduled if the two sides fail to reach an agreement.

If Haney is pursuing a $100 million payday, it remains to be seen where that figure would come from. No promoter, broadcaster or investment group has announced a deal of that size involving the welterweight champion.

Until then, Haney’s latest post is likely to keep the speculation alive as fans wait to learn if the long-rumored blockbuster agreement ever becomes reality.
