[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Devin Haney will very likely celebrate his 21st birthday before terms are finalized for his next title challenge. It's not that the contender in waiting, Javier Fortuna isn't interested in the fight. Rather, the concern is at what pace their talks will progress ahead of their ordered lightweight title fight heading to a purse bid.

So far, Fortuna’s team is already anticipating a bidding war in a WBC board room.

“The easiest way to get out of the fight is to submit lowball offers, which is where we are so far,” insists Lewkowicz. “This guy is (turning 21 on Nov. 17), and he’s already calling himself the future of boxing, the next Floyd Mayweather.

Everybody wants that DAZN money. You give Dervychenko $6 mil and guys coming looking for similar paydays. Fortuna and Dervychenko got PBC backing them so they can drive up the bidding price and they have tv network dates.

We're about to see how serious Hearn and DAZN are invested in Haney. Will they overpay for Fortuna like they did for Dervychenko? I don't think Fortuna should get what Dervychenko got but if they're serious about Haney it'll be in the $2 mil range
