Speaking of Haney, Lopez said, “He needs to step up his game in talking. He sucks at it, man. It’s horrible. It’s bad.” 

He ridiculed his ability to sell a fight and said Haney can only say things that are scripted. ‘The Takeover’ also claimed he would help him out and tried to help him in the past.

“We’re going to help him out in the process. We’re going to whop his as*, we’re going to make the fight. I tried to save his career. I did, I did. Kid you not, I tried to protect his career. I told him, ‘hey, 3-5 years, work your way up.”

As you can expect, ‘The Dream’ did not agree with these comments. He questioned Lopez’s intention of saving his career, saying that they’re not friends. Thus, this comment showed that the two fighters are not just trying to hype up their potential bout.

He then fired a few shots of his own, claiming Lopez says different things in different interviews. “One day he’s about to send me a contract. He’s going to send me and Kambosos a contract and whoever signs it first, gets the fight. These lies aren’t adding up. He has to get it together,” said Haney.
