Devin Haney has reignited discussion over a potential $100m deal after referencing the figure on social media. The WBO welterweight champion is negotiating a mandatory defense against Keyshawn Davis, though no nine-figure contract has been officially confirmed.
The American fighter raised fresh questions regarding his financial future after publishing a message on social media referencing a massive future payout.
The WBO welterweight champion posted on X: “Raping the game until I’m the 100 million dollar man!”
While the phrasing generated immediate criticism online, the primary sporting narrative remains focused on whether the champion has secured an unprecedented promotional agreement. Reports linking Haney to a nine-figure payout have circulated for several months after his father, Bill Haney, suggested a deal was in development. However, no promoter, network broadcaster, or investment group has confirmed an agreement of that size. Haney has also stopped short of publicly verifying whether a contract has been signed.
The post comes at a crucial period in fight negotiations.
Haney is actively arranging his next world title defense. The WBO has officially ordered him to face mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, with purse bids scheduled if the two promotional teams cannot reach an agreement. Unless a major network or international promotional group steps forward, it remains uncertain where the funds for a $100m valuation would originate. For now, Haney’s claims remain unverified as the boxing world waits for concrete details on his next bout.
