I am not sure that Murtazaliev is avoiding Boots, or anyone for that matter. I think everybody is avoiding Murtazaliev. Way too much risk, not enough money to be made. He has been sitting on the shelf for a while before Boots made it known that he wants to go to 154.

When we reduce a sport to a business, the spirit of the sport is lost. I can't tell if Norman's move was savvy or not, but I can tell his team did not trust their fighter enough to put him against Ennis. Norman has no profile; beating Ennis would have not only guaranteed a nice paycheck but a rise in stature that would guarantee him even better-paying fights, perhaps an Ennis rematch in Philly for example.
**** the boxing is a business logic. This is not Wall Street, it's a ****ing sport.Last edited by lilacp; 06-21-2025, 03:50 PM.ShoulderRoll likes this.

Did you know that De Los Santos manager was being a crook. When he presented the fight to his fighter he told him the offer was 250k but really the offer was around 550k then when they offered more money to Bob Arum came out and told what the offer really was which was about 250k extra to fight the promoter told him the offer was only 50k. Blue Blood sports TV put it out there
