How much does Brian Norman deserve vs Barrios or Stanionis fight on a PBC card?

[brettWall]

Yeah, those are obviously completely made-up, bogus numbers. Even Wilder didn't get overpaid that much by SHO in his fights with Brezeale, Ortiz 2, then Fury. Size of those fights can't be smaller than Tank vs Martin. Makes one wonder why these writers stake their reps just to prop up their brothas....

[brettWall]

$1.5 million? So $1.7 mil + $1.5 mil = $3.2 million?
Is that how deep you believe TR's pocket is for a fight like this with a guy like Teo whom ESPN provides dates to on Thursdays? The guy is not even a PPV star. And how much do you think Teo would want for this fight? $ 5 million? Teo would rather...

So there's no rematch for the Barbosa vs McComb fight. I see.

T Bud ain't going back in the ring unless it's a massive payday. He petitioned for the Fundora fight just months ago, WBO ordered the fight recently and now he's no longer interested. Which is what I predicted. He ain't fighting any one of these young hungry prime fighters. Ortiz, Tsyu, Fundora. Madrimov...

Hearn/Ennis already dictated their price. $1.7 million. Take it or leave it. That's how much they want the belt. What now? What would you do if you were in Norman's shoes?...

[brettWall]

Hearn, Arum, Hoya have no fans here brother. Only one with cult following is your uncle Al Haymon. No one says, "Thank you Bob, thank you Eddie, thank you Oscar!"

All I hear fans say when it comes to these people is, "IT'S A LOWBALL OFFER!"

But when it comes...

[brettWall]

What do you think? What's your estimate?

Do you see Norman getting offered $2 million?

It's not my money, so I couldn't care less.

[brettWall]

Would PBC/Haymon even offer Norman $1 million for the Barrios or Stanionis fight? I'd be curious to know the answer to this.

[brettWall]

They'll come back eventually begging for fights in their 40s, you'll see. And the paycheck would not even be enough to pay for training expenses. It would be a very steep downhill from there on till they wither away....

[brettWall]

A fighter having fought once a year for the last five years and still regarded as being in the #1 P4P rankings just doesn't make any sense in the overall grand scheme of things. If 2 fights a year is the average for fighters, then such fighter has virtually avoided 5 fights in the last 5 years. It's...

[brettWall]

No longer a huge deal. Fans are so used to it. These fighters even get to be inducted for their HOF award.

[brettWall]

Yeah, I'd like to see more of Norman in any type of fight before I can conclude he passes the eye test for me. Doesn't bother me the Ennis fight didn't happen. Plenty of time for that. Asking for a retirement check this early don't impress me that much. Not valuing the opportunity for another title...

[brettWall]

Hearn must have read my posts about Crawford not fighting again. Yeah, I'm the only one saying that when everyone else assumed TBud is going after Fundora, Tszyu and Ortiz. Nah. He'll lie low this time and hide himself from the media. He won't be active on social media either because he doesn't like...
