"Both WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney and mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis will be making tidy sums for their ordered title defense after Top Rank handily won today’s purse bid with an $8,550,000 offer. Teofimo Lopez’s Takeover Promotions, the sole other bidder, came just a we bit short at $2,350,000. October 3rd is the target date, with “Barclays Center, State Farm Arena (ATL) and Michelob ULTRA Arena (Vegas) as potential locations.” Per WBO regulations, Haney (33-0, 15 KO), who cruised past Brian Norman Jr to lift the belt last November, will get 75% of the bid. That’s a cool $6.4 million for him and $2.1 million for Davis (15-0, 10 KO), who makes his welterweight debut after a two-fight stint at 140 saw him outclass Jamaine Ortiz and Nahir Albright. Between this and Ben Whittaker’s eliminator against Conor Wallace, it’ll be a big day on DAZN. We’ll let you know when this show comes together.
