1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,200
All right, time to hear from
Devin Hayning. He talked one on one

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,800
with Dan Thursday the evening. We've
got that for you right now. Well,

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,960
you can start off by just giving
me your your reaction to uh I

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,039
saw. I guess you've seen the
penalty that that New York issue to Ryan

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,879
Garcia related to your fight. You
gave him a one year suspension. He's

6
00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:25,960
got to forfeit his official contract person
of one point one million dollars. He's

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,879
got to be randomly tested. He's
gonna be find the maximum, which is

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,520
ten thousand by the state. Can
you give me your thoughts when you heard

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,520
about that. First off, you
don't want to thank God a lot,

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,880
you know, because he's he's a
he's a perfect planner. I've said this

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,880
before. I said this, you
know, before the fight. I said

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,280
it after the fight. You know, through this whole process. You know,

13
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:49,880
I'll just you know, keep praying, and you know, you know

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,719
God has answered my answered my prayers. You know, I want to take

15
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:59,600
the New York State Atlantic Commission UH
for for doing the right thing, making

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,840
the right decision. You know,
we've seen you know, these type of

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,920
things happen where you know, the
commissions haven't did the right thing, or

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,920
you know, politics and stuff have
gotten away of the right decision. But

19
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:17,400
you know, the commission, you
know, did the did the right thing.

20
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,879
So I thank them for that.
I think, my my my fans,

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,640
you know that that you know stood
up for me, the people that

22
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:26,359
stood up for me, the reporters
that that stood up with me, you

23
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:30,480
know, because I've seen a lot
of people, you know, you know,

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,359
just standing up for for for what's
wrong and and and not what's right.

25
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,799
And you know, performance that has
been drugs shouldn't be in in in

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,959
no sport, in generally, especially
boxing. You know, at the end

27
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,879
of the day, you know,
every time we step in the ring,

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,799
for our lives on the line,
and you know, I just wanted to

29
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:53,159
I just want to be on an
even playing field every single time that I

30
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:57,920
step in the ring. And you
know, I'm this has made me advocate

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,239
even more for it, you know, and and pushing for it because you

32
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:07,519
know, it can it could have
happened to anybody. You know. I

33
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,479
think I'm thankful that it happened to
me because I'm prong enough for it to

34
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,240
to you know, to to be
able to take you know, take what

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,520
happened and and you know, be
move forward or not break me. But

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,560
yeah, so one of one of
the things about this, Devin, that

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080
that strikes me, and I think
this might be lost on some people that

38
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:29,439
follow this more casually or who are
blinded by the reality. This is not

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,560
a punishment that the Commission just unilaterally
imposed on Ryan Garcia. Ryan Garcia and

40
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,479
his legal team had to agree to
this. They did a settlement agreement,

41
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,919
so he accepted the punishment of the
one year. He accepted to give up

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,599
that much money. What do you
what do you think that says about his

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,120
guilt or innocence that he accepted that
he's gonna forfeit over a million dollars and

44
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,759
take a one year suspension and random
testing during the year, et cetera,

45
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,599
along with the other things that they've
imposed or you know, they agreed to

46
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,520
us. I mean, you know, at the end of the day,

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,319
I mean, it was it was
it was it wasn't much he could do.

48
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:07,960
It was much. It wasn't much
fighting that he could that he could

49
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,960
do. You know, his he
was you know, he was guilty.

50
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,639
It was proven. The proof was
in the putting. So you know,

51
00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:22,000
he said he had no choice but
to accept, you know, his punishment.

52
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,680
And I mean, what what what, what can I really say?

53
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,960
But do I do it? I
think I think you should have been banned

54
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,960
for even long. I think you
should be banned from boxing because and I

55
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,879
think he should have been fined anymore. I think that I should have been

56
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:45,240
receiving you know, some of the
money that that was was was forfeited because

57
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,360
I was the one taking the punches
in there. I was the one that

58
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:50,680
you know was affected, you know, I was the one that I think

59
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:53,360
actually that you may be getting a
piece of that money. That's what I've

60
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,680
been told. But we'll see if
that comes to as of as of as

61
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:00,840
of from my team, from what
I've heard from my team, you know,

62
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,960
speaking directly from the Commission, my
attorneys and stuff like that. No,

63
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:10,159
no, okay, let me ask
you this though. What is your

64
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:13,560
perspective and your thought about the fact
that they changed the result of this fight

65
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,839
to a no contest. They had
the option, and know your lawyer in

66
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,759
a letter to the Commission press for
it to be changed to a disqualification,

67
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,759
which they could have done, but
in the in the end, they elected

68
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
to make it a no contest.
What is your thought about the no contest.

69
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,639
I wouldn't have you know, wanted
wanted to to to have a you

70
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,600
know, a victory in that way. I'm a real fighter and you know

71
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,639
I've gotten you know, thirty one
wins, you know, being stepping in

72
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:44,040
the ring and winning the right way. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have felt

73
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,279
right, you know, it being
a victory on my record when I didn't

74
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,519
win the fight. But the loss
does come off your record, but the

75
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,480
loss comes off my record because at
the end of at the end of the

76
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,720
day, I wasn't on an even
playing field. I wouldn't I stepped in

77
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,360
the ring with a guy that was, you know, that was taking performance

78
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:04,680
at has been drugs and at the
end of the day that it's not even

79
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,759
it's not a fair fight. It
was and it wasn't a fair fight.

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,959
So I think that it was it
was the right thing for us to be

81
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,000
removed, and like I said,
I can only think a lot that that

82
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:19,480
justice was served. So let me
ask you about this because you've been in

83
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:24,240
the news last couple of days,
not related particularly to your fight with Ryan,

84
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,399
but the WBC held the purse spid
this week for your mandatory defense of

85
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:32,079
the WBC one and forty pound title
against sand Or Martin. There was only

86
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,079
one bidder on the fight. It
was one point five million in change,

87
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:40,759
which relatively speaking, perhaps some people
viewed it as maybe a little light on

88
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,639
the numbers, and there was no
competition so they didn't have to come with

89
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:46,639
the big envelope, as they say. My perspective is, if Devin Haney

90
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,040
wins the fight against Ryan Garcia and
there is no perhaps, you know,

91
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,480
maybe you do win if there's no
peds. You know, we'll never know

92
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,079
for sure. But suddenly now your
mandatory is worth a heck of a lot

93
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,680
more that you seem to have been
financially injured based on the low perspate amount

94
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,680
because of your loss in the last
fight, even though now it's a no

95
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,480
contest. What is that that that
has a major impact that seems to me

96
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120
on your next fight situation. No, it definitely has had a major impact.

97
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,920
You know, I haven't made a
million and a half since, you

98
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:24,399
know, my beginning days of signing
with Mattress, right, and I want

99
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:28,199
to say that was you know,
I made one point seven million to you

100
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:30,120
know, I don't want to speak
on that I don't want to speak on

101
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,959
the exact numbers, but you know
I haven't made a million and a half

102
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:40,959
dollars since the beginning stages of of
of of you know contract with Mattres,

103
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:46,160
So why would why would I?
You know, it it affected me,

104
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:50,040
I was gonna say, so it's
so. What I'm trying to make some

105
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,639
people understand is that what happened in
the fight on April twentieth is not in

106
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,120
a vacuum. It's not just a
situation that occurred on that day. It's

107
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,160
impacting your career in your next fight. Also, is that fair to say?

108
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,600
Correct? Correct? Correct? And
you know, my, my,

109
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:11,000
my, my, My lawyers and
team will will you know, do what

110
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,959
they gotta do to you know,
and to to prove that and in court

111
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:18,600
and you know against Ryan Garcia and
you know we will take legal action,

112
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:24,639
you know, to to you know, because it has affected me not only

113
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,519
not only you know, my my
my financially, but you know mentally everything.

114
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,759
So, uh do you do you
think you're gonna take the Sandra Martin

115
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,639
fight under the person or you're gonna
try to look to do something different.

116
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,959
I'm going to you gonna spend time
with my family. You know this is

117
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,399
everything is just fresh. Everything you
know, just this, every problems just

118
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:55,800
fresh. So we're gonna wear our
options and we'll see what's next. Word

119
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:00,519
Targe w b C. Now we'll
see that. I wish you the best

120
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,959
of luck and whatever comes down the
road, but I appreciate your time.

121
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:03,600
Just start. Thank you,
