Comments Thread For: Brian Norman Snr will make his return to boxing while also preparing his son for a title fight

Bro lol. Bootsy is 28. Norman jr is 22. Norman jr has been a pro half the amount of time as bootsy and has somehow accomplished just as mich as bootsy has in the sport. That’s crazy huh. Think how long we’ve been hearing about bootsys greatness. We just met Brian Norman jr. If he makes it to 28 years old and fights nobody’s the whole way he’ll still have accomplished more than boots at that age lol. And let’s how the stannaois fight plays out.

I hear you. Fair point.

Stanionis is getting KO’d in 2025’s FOTY and then we’re going to Saudi Arabia for Barrios or Norman or both.
We’re cleaning 154 after that. You heard it here.

So, Norman gets his belt emailed to him and then proceeds to fight some guy we’ve never heard of AND said guy has zero chance of winning and we’re still giving him TWO years?
You know, unlike you, I will give him the two years. Or perhaps by end of this year, him and Boots fight for a historic unification. You know, like Bud and Spence.

Norman jr is 22 dude lol. Boots is 28. If he fights tomato cans for the next 2 years I’ll say something but I don’t think that will happen. Let’s see how it plays out

Meanwhile, no one is criticizing Norman for fighting some unknown dude for a 10th of what he was going to get fighting Boots.

Where are you LAchargers373 lol .. Please call this mismatch out.

Tbh I'm surprised people remember hes even fighting soon to begin with, because the main focus of that show is the Mikaler Mayer Vs Sandy Ryan rematch regardless if norman Jr headlines the show or not because the fight is that uninteresting. The guy he's fighting the Puerto Rican boxer has not fought anybody of note at all.

hearns offered Norman jr 1.7M. That offer was countered with 2M which hearns said was too much.

Hearn was correct

[crimsonfalcon07]

please enlighten us then as to what happened?

They were reportedly offered 1.7 million in total in a 50/50 split, which would have come out to 810,000 after taxes. They sent a counter offer of 500K more which Hearn rejected. Brian Norman Sr said he then called Bozy direct to say they accepted the fight and would take the original offer, and Bozy told him "Whoa, whoa, we ain't trying to fight you right now. We want to save that for undisputed."

There was never a 2 million dollar payday on offer for Norman, and many of you don't realize how much of that goes to camp costs etc. He'll look like an idiot if he loses to Cuevas, but if he can keep winning, I'd expect much bigger offers for unification.

They write in English but think in the new boxing language of " ****** " ..
