Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis: I Want The Top Guys - Spence, Ugas, Porter, Crawford, Thurman!

[Murray Kelm]

Boxing is almost as bad as pro wrestling, where the top stars will do almost anything to protect their spot

Gotta headline your own cards at least first lol.. WTF was he doing in the co-main on such a lackluster card.. his promoter and management can’t make the necessary moves for him.. GBP would be showcasing Ennis as they’re doing Vergil smh

Let's he real...why on earth would anyone of those guys fight him right now? All risk and no reward till he builds his resume.

He should be Fighting guys like Danny Garcia next and putting himself into a reasonable position to call out those guys. Until then it's no point in claiming any of them are ducking

[Bronx2245]

You really think Ugas will take one of this fights, you think Ugas will fight Stanionis, be real

He's pissed about the situation, but what option does he have? The WBA just scrapped his fight with Spence, and said he MUST fight Stanionis!

The Devil is in the details

First: What does Ennis have to offer?

• As a matter of court record...Jaron Ennis made $2.25 million for his last 6 fights COMBINED or approximately $370,000 per fight.

Second: How does that play out with the other top Welterweights?

• Thurman demanded 10 million to fight Crawford. Bob Arum said that Crawford was not enough of a draw to cover 10 million and pay Crawford without losing money. Keith Thurman’s promotional company could just as easily have made the same offer but they didn’t. Why? Because even though Keith and Crawford wanted the fight Thurman’s team couldn’t make the numbers work either.
• Top Rank offered Garcia 3 million to fight Crawford and instead Danny chose Granados and Redkach for 1 million apiece and later $5 million to fight Spence.
• Vergil Ortiz is a verging name that Golden Boy intends to develop into the next coming of Chavez. Like them or not, both Oscar and Floyd are phenomenal promoters, super star makers. Vergil Ortiz draws but there’s more head room and Oscar isn't going to risk that on Ennis, Crawford or anyone else and certainly not for a measly $500,000. Making matters worse, Oscar and Al aren’t just the other side of the street but the other side of the planet.

I’m seeing a lot of well meaning, confused fan posts and thought clarity might help.

Thurman,Garcia, V.Ortiz and Duckford aren't going nowhere near JBE. Spence and Ugas are the fights

The answer is simple…there’s simply no money in it, no more, no less.

As He Should! It is time to gets his shot at somebody for sure but unfortunately it won't be any of those guys at least not right now

[tokon]

Thurman next please.

[Wacked_Out]

There you go Thurman. Do it.

Find a common opponent with one of the guys he's chasing, similar to what Vergil Ortiz just did with Mean Machine...

there are better fights to make going by the rankings and such...but in the meantime, just in an effort to make a fight with a guy who is somewhat known, who still may have some upside against an untested guy, and will brings some of his own fans and get more eyes i would think about: Ennis v Jose Benavidez

edit: **** just saw he coming back next week at 154 nervmind.
