Comments Thread For: Bozy Ennis Urges Terence Crawford To Pick Up The Phone And Give Him A Call: "Fight Us"

That's the only offer on the table. Nothing from Showtime, NONE. It would be silly to expect any offer coming from a free agent with no network backing. Don't you think so? This is simple common sense. No rocket science required. Ennis is the only one who is in that position.

When the Avanesyan fight was being spread around, Boots was saying he would have accepted the offer in a heartbeat. It's the same BLK offer. What else would it be? Crawford was approached by BLK and Frank Warren, Avanesyan's promoter.

There's nothing to spin here bro. Nice try, though.

I'm not spinning anything. Common sense and Bud said that he had already been in talks with BLK before June. Bud hadn't fought since November of the prior year. As a free agent and champion, he didn't need network backing in order to make a fight, that's the whole point of being a free agent.

Crawford simply could have approached any network that promoted the opponent of his choosing, and presented what are the numbers and other conditions he would be looking for in order to offer their fighter a championship fight. It's that simple, and as the champion he has most of the leverage, or the so-called A side, except against Spence because he holds 3 of the belts and is a bigger draw.

No spin at all, as a free agent champion, he could pick and choose his voluntary defenses, until he's mandated, and one of those could have been Boots, but he chose to sign, taking himself off the free agent market, for one fight for a big check against Avanesyen, instead of fighting Spence, and instead of taking a voluntary defense against a top contender like Boots or Ortiz.
