“When Devin first began, all he wanted to do was to pursue greatness. I don’t think that’s the case,” Hearn said to Central Australian. “I think Devin fell in love with the sport of boxing. I think now, a large part of Devin only struggles for money, and that’s when he becomes dangerous because you are not the same fighter.

“Bill and Devin, they are not strategically looking for it. They look for the bag. That’s everything, “said Hearn.” Thus, they are like: “Where can we make our five, six, seven million? What struggle? This is why they said,” We will fight “the boots” in 147.We will fight in Theophimo. We will fight against Brian Norman. Well because they just want the money. Therefore, they do not care now. At that time, Bill was much more selective and tactical about who to fight. Now you just want the money. “

Many fans believe that the selection of Norman Jr. De Haney is a red flag that has focused on money and a neglected approach to his career now. Norman Jr. It is considered one of the toughest punches of the division of 147 pounds, if not the most difficult.
