Boxing needs to make some of the negotiations a LIVE Event. Personally, I wouldn't mind watching it. It would also cut down on the rumor mill, lying, blaming, and wrongful hate that some of these fighters get for things they have ZERO control over. Currently we have a back and forth brewing between the Jaron Ennis Camp & the Brian Norman Jr. Camp. What is said to have happen is that Ennis Camp sent an offer that they claimed Norman's camp turned down. Norman's Camp quickly called him out on that and said they accepted the fight, but just sent a counter offer because they didn't like the numbers proposed in the offer. Norman Sr. aggressively told YSM that Ennis tries to push this persona of being the "Boogie Man" which isn't true, because no one is afraid of him. Ironically Ennis claimed that offers to all the of the champs at 147 had received offers for unification bouts. Barrios, got on social media and debunked the claims. Stanionis said that no one in his camp has heard from any rep at Matchroom regarding making the fight. This just adds to the reason I personally don't listen much to anything the Ennis camp says. They have been caught in lies twice before this situation in regards to claiming another fight turned down a fight vs them. Back to my point though.......I think it would be interesting and maybe even entertaining to see the negotiations between the camps be broadcasted LIVE so that we could see/hear the actual offers/demands coming from either camp. I feel it would bring more factual based disccussions to forums rather than the emotions opinionated conversations we normally have on subjects like this.
While the idea is nice and can encourage viewers which translates to money, it's still most likely not going to happen. It's quite similar to training camps, both parties like to keep things private there.
no attorney would ever advice their client to have public negotiations. it will also limit who will be willing to negotiate with you in the future. nobody likes people looking into their wallet.
