Ennis is fighting finance
If it is true that the money given to Norman Jr. For the Sasaki battle, more than the $ 1.7 million offered by promoter Eddie Hearn to fight Jaron Ennis in a unification, it is understandable why he chose to wage this fight.
Hearn should have sweetened the offer with $ 500,000, which was the amount Norman SR asked, because Team Norman is unlikely to agree to $ 1.7 million in the future. If there is anything, they will want more, and Hearn will kick himself because he did not agree to the $ 2.2 million they asked for.
