Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Wanted $10 Million To Fight Jaron Ennis, Says Boots' Father, Trainer Bozy

[champion4ever]

Al Haymon wasn't risking any type of money on Crawford homeboy and Spence was going to be on the recieving end of a much higher split so of course he had no issues. Crawford wanted all expenditures open to him,that's it.So let's not try to rewrite history there.

I think Crawford understands how Haymon operates and conducts his business now which is the reason why he decided to walk and fight David Avanesyan. However, that is neither now nor there because the fight isn't happening anyway; Which is why the sanctioning bodies are now calling in their mandatory challengers beginning with the WBC.

As my late father would say: “Want in one hand, and S**t in the other and see which one fills up the fastest!”

I’m so sick of the term “pricing himself out”. It’s worth 10 mil to Ennis’ promoter if Ennis wins. He probably does win and now Ennis goes from all risk no reward to high risk high reward.

Thurman has something to sell of great value to Ennis . Ennis can either pay for this upgrade or keep waiting on Spence. Good luck with that.

Plus, it’s a pretty big fight properly promoted.

LoL! Thurman said "that fight ain't happening .... Imma price myself right out of any reasonable consideration". Did someone pay him $10 mill to fight Barrios? Ennis has to get paid too. Thurman is done. He'll probably price himself out of a Spence fight too.

Resumes and metrics reflect the pay. If Boots wants the Keith fight, you gotta pay him proper. I’m not excusing Keith at all, he hasn’t boxed for a hot minute and most fans wouldn’t care if he boxes again, but Keith reserves the right for his demand. What offer amount or narrative where Boots’ team even disclosing?

Bruh Keith Thurman is the one that needs Boots name.

Keith Tburman lost his last big fight (to a 40 year, smaller, part time boxer), went away for years, and then came back and failed to impress against 140lber coming from a KO loss to a 135lber.

Furthermore, that fight was a flop at the box office.

keith Thurman should be jumping at the opportunity to prove himself again, but instead he trying to cash out.

I don't even know how boxing keeps rewarding this bs.

You lose to a 40 year old, you inactive for years, you come back and look wack against a 140lber, and all of a sudden you're a mandatory to the biggest belt held by the biggest fighter in the division?

Some bs.

I thought Thurman already warned contenders, "I'm a fine wine; you can only get me at high level restaurants."

Thurman PAC did 500k. Keith took home 4-5 million total. Has Ennis made more than $300K? Keith been rocking with the WBA for a hot minute, they’re going to give him special petition requests ala Haymon. How do you think Wilder ranked high in the WBC even after the losses. What you’re saying is fine since it is known, but the point of Keith telling Boots’ father that figure is that Ennis can’t afford him which is why he trolled that amount, so if he really wanted that fight $10mil would do! Lol. Keith don’t need Ennis

IMO, asking for $10M to fight Boots is saying you don't want that fight. Basically saying, if I'm going to get KTFO, then make it worth my time.

Why should he fight boots? Let duckford take boots as a mandatory, Thurman fights the winner.


Boots ends duckfords tite run.

intriguing post, as opposed to the usual riding of the hype train.

Ennis is a talent for sure. But he's done nothing yet. But Boozy is trying to create boogeyman vibes.
