I heard boots offered him 1.5 million and Norman said it was a lowball offer. But his biggest purse at that point was 180k. Lol..clear ducking.

His pops was.om boxing voice just now with the manager and they explained the details. Stanoious was on too. The explanation made sense imo but there is also the "bet on yourself" thing too

Norman would only be getting 3-400k after everything

Lol I'm listening now and he's talking about taxes and sanctioning fees. Yeah okay so you'll take 180k but not 1.5

That doesn't even make sense.

He would get 800k after deductions and then taxes will be 40%. But they said they would take current offer in Vegas

And what would he have with 180? Probably 40k. Can't call it nothing else but a duck. Also why would you say it's a low all but then say you'll take it in a neutral location? Doesn't make sense unless he's ducking.

you didn't listen to the podcast.

180k wouldn't be taxed nor have the same fees. In addition to the Champion Minimums he would now get.

Norman may lose his belt on this one...bad decision

Goodfellatv said this days ago. He said Norman was signing up to fight Derrick Cuesas on undercard of Keyshawn fight. And said all this back and forth in the media was just for press.

I don't see how it makes sense when Norman just accepted another fight where he is guaranteed to make EVEN LESS. So he passes on a Boots fight and a chance at stardom and his biggest payday yet (even with the sanctioning fees), to fight on Keyshawn's undercard. He would be headlining an event fighting Boots but he'd rather be on the undercard of a prospect lol.

It's ducking. And I like Norman but this ain't a good look at all. He's never getting that potential 1.5 million again.
