How about Marrio Barrios vs Brian Norman on PBC/Amazon for the unification?

Norman was offered $1.7 million from MR, he turned it down. And some fans agree that it's a lowball offer. PBC has to offer him more. Haven't seen any fanboy screaming, "IT'S LOWBALL OFFER!" when it comes to PBC. Maybe because they're kept secret.

Reading from these comments it looks like PBC is helpless in cashing out Barrios. Everyone suggests he'll be getting more money outside of the PBC compound.​

Mario is in the box seat, will take the highest bid form either Norman or Boots.

Barrios isn't selling his title for that price. Norman doesn't bring enough the cash to get Mario to dance. If Conor Benn beats Eukbank, Barrios is gonna cash that mf WBC belt in in London.

Norman was offered $1.7 million from MR, he turned it down. And some fans agree that it's a lowball offer. PBC has to offer him more. Because Norman Sr. said so lol In order for Team Norman to get what they want, the match-up will probably need to be PPV which sucks for us. You can guarantee that PBC will put Norman/Barrios on PPV.

How much money does Norman deserve in a fight with Barrios at PBC? Norman was offered $1.7 million from MR, he turned it down. And some fans agree that it's a lowball offer. PBC has to offer him more.

This sport is so slow in implementing much needed boost to keep things moving. What exactly are they waiting for? Where is the media in this unification fight?

PBC should just go ahead and send Norman their offer based on what they believe his market value is. They know how much he's worth, they've been in the business since time immemorial. Then we'll see if he prices himself out. How much money does Norman deserve in a fight with Barrios at PBC?

Barrios is the low hanging fruit and they will cash him out with the highest bidder. On the flip side PBC will have him fight against one of their in-house names to keep the title.

Ennis v Norman is the best fight at 147

I think that does make a lot of sense. I don't think fans think that highly of either fighter. So them fighting each other can help gain them some credibility and a nice payday before they get destroyed by Boots. Josh Taylor is coming back May 24 at welterweight. Maybe we could get Boots vs Taylor in the Fall, and then the winners of those fights get each other in the winter or 2026. IDK how a Taylor fight would be justifiable: he's not with MR, he doesn't have a title, and he's not ranked in the WBA/IBF. Taylor is more likely to face Norman.

I would like for those two to unify and then the winner can challenge 'Boots' for the undisputed welterweight crown. However, it seems like Team Norman wants all the smoke with Jaron Ennis for the right amount of fee now. So we'll just going to have to wait and see. I would love to see Boots to move to 154 though. He could fight Sebastian Fundora, Tim Tszyu, Vergil Ortiz, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Serhii Bohachuk or Israil Madrimov. ​

Even though they are both champions, i think it is a shit fight. I don't rate barrios one bit.

Norman is fighting Jin Sasaki next I think. Barrios should probably just get it over with. I think he'll make more losing to Boots than Norman. Or he could just duck as long as possible and try to fight mandatories, since Devin Haney is in #1, so however the Haney/Garcia/Ramirez/Romero stuff shakes out, that's likely who he ends up facing, and there's more money there, especially if it's Garcia. And those are all likely way easier fights than Boots.
