Who cares

i do............... it is a fight

I'll be watching.
Norman might be better than most people realize and he's still very young. I hope this fight can start to regenerate some excitement in the WW division. Boots needs to fight Norman next or move to 154 show what he can do against legit competition.

How much is Norman getting paid? $250,000 this time?

[JakeTheBoxer]

A good move. he can always fight Ennis. he should milk his belt as much ass possible.

I think the other story here is TR being up to their usual behavior: keeping fights in-house and limiting unifications. TR and Ohashi have a solid relationship. If Sasaki beats Norman, Norman will probably get an immediate rematch and/or Sasaki will become Inoue's co-main counterpart. Coupled with Barrios fighting ancient Pacquiao and Pacquiao calling out Tank......yeah I think it's time for Team Ennis to seriously consider moving up. He's not capturing Undisputed, he needs to let that dream die.

Norman traveling 7,000 miles to fight in a 4000 capacity venue, seriously?

There you go people!

He turned down almost $2 million dollars to fight Boots to instead fight in undercards and headline in a god damn gym!

That’s what’s happening, Top Rank is holding the WBO belt hostage. And Brian Norman is the dummy that goes along with it while making less money than he could be getting against Boots.
