Haney Walks Away From Davis Talks After Claiming 70-30 Offer

The Gervonta Davis-Devin Haney fight is off — or at least Haney says it is. What was supposed to be a negotiation has turned into a public argument on social media, and it ended with Haney declaring he is moving on.

It started with Davis associate Gmoney posting on X that he had just come off the phone with Al Haymon, the powerful advisor who handles Davis's business, and urging Haney to respond quickly: "Holla back fast or I'm going elsewhere. Time is ticking."

He followed that with a second post questioning why Haney had not been quicker to reply: "Why tf you need 24 hours to hit Al back when you on this mf just chatting."

Haney's response was to reveal what Davis's camp had reportedly put on the table: "Gervonta just had AL call with a 70/30 offer." That number, if accurate, reflects how Davis's side views the leverage in this negotiation. Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) is the bigger draw, the knockout artist with the higher pay-per-view ceiling. His camp apparently believes that gap is worth a forty-point split.

Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and his father Bill have been clear that they do not see it that way. Bill Haney had already gone public earlier in the week to dismiss the reported offer, noting the family had previously walked away from "50/50 of nothing" with PBC and were not about to accept worse terms now. The implication was consistent — the Haney camp believes Devin's name and draw are worth more than what Davis's side is offering, and they are not going to negotiate against themselves.

It is a dramatic exit from what had appeared to be a genuinely active negotiation. Whether it is actually over is a different question. But Haney said he is moving on, and for now he means it. He has options. Shakur Stevenson, who has been circling this conversation from a distance, remains an available opponent and would be a significant fight in its own right.
