According to Brian Norman senior,using his figures, Brian walked away from his last fight with about $90,0000 in his pocket. There are no million dollar paydays at 147 and if 1.8 million is too little for the risk, I can guarantee 154 is out of the question.
In the end, Brian Norman's team chose to turn down Boots Ennis and not because 1.8 million is not enough, but because 1.8 million is not enough for the risk of taking a loss to Boots Ennis.
Frankly, I think Brian did the right thing by not fighting Ennis. Ennis is a one off guy like Crawford and Brian like Danny Garcia can make money and remain undefeated for a while before he faces a risk like Ennis. Maybe David Avanesyan
Its not a matter of what Norman will make in the future by turning this down, it is more of a failure on Eddie/Boots side to refuse paying an extra one time 500k that would've made Boots the unified 147 beltholder and getting a belt owned by another promotion to give it up (which is hard these days), and also not waste time with Karen 2. After defeating Norman he could've used the double belt to see if Barrios or Stanionis bite and if not, just go up to 154 as the unified 147 where he could've asked for high ranking on both Murtazaliev and Fundora. Plus, he'll have better non-title opponents to fight while waiting for a belt chance.
Again, if Boots truly is the next P4P superstar, he should've done this IMO.Joe shmo likes this.

You know what they say " the lady doeth protest too much "....or something like that. It's basically when someone is so rabidly and con****uously against something and wants everyone to know it , it very often turns out that ironically enough, that very thing is what they're into. You see it all of the time with Pastors and Politicians. Show me one always screaming about groomers , gheys, etc and I'll show you a pedophile in the closet that's going to get busted before long. It always happens.
Truer words have never been spoken.
