Brian Norman Sr. Says he doesn’t understand why promoter Eddie Hearn is pushing hard to close a unification between his son, WBO Welterweight Champion Norman Jr., and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis before their June 19 defense against Jin Sasaki.
Norman Sr. Think Hearn is trying to “muddy” the water and “tar” their name. He suspects that Hearn will close another battle against someone else.
“You hear the dates he said. He said: ‘October, November, December. ‘You can negotiate a battle for (those months) in June. Millcity Boxing About those who can negotiate a fight against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis for one of the three months that the promoter Eddie Hearn mentioned in an interview today.
What Norman Sr. not see is that he is now by Hearn his son in a contract with Boots Ennis, he would be Get him at a lower price Then if he waits until his fight against Jin Sasaki. As Norman jr. Destroy him in Tokyo on June 19, his popularity goes through the roof.
Its value will be on its way, and Hearn has to make a much larger offer. He will not do that because it would require an investment. As Norman jr. For $ 4 million asking, will Hearn also be prepared to invest? I doubt it. So, Ennis can go up just as well if Hearn doesn’t want to mimic John D. Rockefeller and invest in his fighter.
Norman Sr. suspicion
“I’m confused about them (Hearn) to put it out here at this time. I don’t know, “Norman Sr. said when asked if he thought Hearn and Ennis would choose to fight someone else rather than Brian Jr.. “We asked for the fight after our fight (Jin Sasaki).”
Hearn should do that. With boots that insisted on fighting the unification for him, Hearn had to show that he was trying to set fights with one available champion. Norman Sr. However, he will first negotiate with the Sasaki fight. Hearn doesn’t want to wait. He now wants to negotiate while the value of Norman JR is still low. He is like a stock. If he destroys Sasaki, his stock will rise, and Hearn will not be able to afford him. I mean, he can Norman jr. Nominated if he was willing to invest, but he probably won’t. He will be too stiff.
“Here it is four weeks before our fight. The fight is offered. We said, ‘Yes. “They said,” Okay, let’s sign the contract. ” We said, ‘No. Why would we do that? This is a bad sign.
Why the rush?
It’s not just a bad sign. It would be foolish for him to sign a contract for the boots before Norman Jr. Sasaki fought. The way Hearn prints, you can see what his game is. He knows that his value will rise.
‘What if we win (against Sasaki) and the top rank comes back and we get what we want-a promotion. We do this in a better place for better money. The question is: ‘Are we willing to fight? “The answer is, hell, yes.
Name Tarish claim
“Because he wants to make the water mud and our name as much as possible, Norman Sr. said about Hearn and in an interview that he said an agreement to Team Norman Jr. Part of me thinks they will pull a little bull and say another battle and say we were not willing to fight. But we said we were willing to fight and say it now.”
