UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley recently took a shot at boxing and the current stars of that world. O’Malley questioned the current lack of excitement and a big name in professional boxing. He also took a shot at Devin Haney and online spat rival Ryan Garcia.

Sean O’Malley hosts The BrOMalley Show with his brother, Daniel O’Malley. Talking about the current boxing scene, this is what O’Malley said: 

I tried to watch the showtime ending year and I'm just like there's just no one in boxing right now that's just really like making me really want to watch. There's super talented guys they're saying Devin Haney might fight Garcia I'm just like I didn't even watch either of their last fights.

Haney and Garcia have a history, having faced each other six times in the amateurs, with three wins each. Ryan Garcia boasts a professional record of 24-1-0. He turned professional at age 17 and has remained undefeated since. Garcia’s only loss came against Gervonta Davis earlier this year in April.

Meanwhile, Devin Haney is a professional boxer with 31 wins and zero losses or draws. Haney has won 15 fights by knockout and the other 15 by decision. He is the youngest active undisputed boxing champion. Recently, he defeated Regis Prograis after moving up in weight.

Sean O’Malley questions Conor McGregor’s value in the UFC

Sean O’Malley has raised concerns about whether the UFC is ‘losing money’ when Conor McGregor fights. O’Malley speculated that the delay in McGregor’s return could be financially driven. He suggested that the UFC might face challenges in justifying the cost associated with McGregor’s substantial contractual value.

The bantamweight champion implied that the UFC may not find it economically viable to schedule a fight for McGregor at this time. O’Malley believed that McGregor’s pay structure may be negatively affecting the UFC, making it difficult to get him on a card. This speculation added an interesting perspective to the business dynamics of high-profile fighters and their financial implications for the UFC.

Reportedly, McGregor rakes in $20 – $30 million per fight, which includes his share of PPV revenue. Conor McGregor has two fights remaining on his current UFC contract.
