Comments Thread For: Bozy Ennis: "We Only Fought Once in 2022 Because Everybody Was Waiting For Spence And Crawford"

[Slip jab]

Idk it’s bn obvious that Spence is protected, blatant low ball was a swerve. So obvious. I don’t care I’m not buying it now. Ish saved me a cool hunnid. Haymon sure knows how to save ppl money by not making any fights. Had they made an agreement for December I would have purchased the PPV. As a fan I speak with my wallet to let it known I ain’t getting a fight just because it’s ppv. This failure to make it will cause redundant debates to mimic maypac but they missed it, this strategy won’t build it up anymore than it already is. Actually contrarily ppl are losing interest especially with the delay giving time for other fighters to shine and take the spotlight. So by time it would’ve gotten made the ppv will tank. 300k buys it would have maybe done 400k was it happening next month. Really what’s the point of boots getting to the top?? The top guy’s rarely fight each other and they inactive while boots already fights once a year. I don’t see anything to be excited about. Seriously like let’s get him to the top so he won’t fight anyone. He’s already faced the best he’s going to.the hype ain’t working over here

It's a big mistake for a young fighter to sit on the shelf waiting for others. The best way to pressure the top guys into fighting you: stay active and keep your name on everyone's mind. Why doesn't Showtime put more effort into Boots? They shouldn't allow him to be idle.

Boots just needs to keep fighting

[Jc8804]

boots should fight staoinis . if he ducks then go for ugas .

Espinoza confirmed this that yeah it messed up the Schedule for the rest of the year and effected a lot of fighters unfortunately

Tank and Ryan negotiations as well I'm sure but hey at least the start of 2023 will be Stacked

Not a good excuse not to stay busy. Fact that you waited and nothing happened.
What more proof do you need that it's never smart to play waiting game in this sport?

Bozo put the onus on “everyone bn waiting on the tooth and bud “why boots fights once a year. He gets paid NOT to fight. Al can’t be having him sharp when the IBF orders the mandatory. Boots n bud beat the breaks off EJ. Al knows this better than all us

No one wants to see Boots. Crawford knew he was there. So does Spence. The sanctioning bodies need to make Boots the mandatory. Watch them vacate and move out of weight class. Boots will be there and he will be the face of boxing starting with the Welterweight division. He can be undisputed if both Crawford and Spence face him.

Judging by the comments, many of you don't realize that many of the top welterweights as well as other top fighters in other weight classes had to wait, not just Team Ennis. They all needed to wait for Spence vs Crawford because if they schedule a bout beforehand, Spence vs Crawford may fight on the same date, which would make their fight a flop. Think about it, nobody scheduled a fight on the Mexican holidays unless they were fighting Mayweather or was part of the undercard. Then Canelo took that date. Since Spence and Crawford don't have a special date, it's hard to predict what date they would be fighting on.

Terence Crawford is holding the division up. His admitted to the following things in the last week.

1. He began negotiations with BLK PRIME in June, CONFIRMING simultaneous negotiations, in bad faith.
2. He walked away from a legacy fight for a tune-up with a fighter who lost to a man he already beat.
3. He refuses to name hedge fund investors, investors that the EJ camp doesn't even know about
4. He agreed to all terms - including Transparency, but didn't sign.

One man, due to greed is creating a bottleneck in the division.
