Confirmed: Boots ducked Mean Machine fight

[brettWall]

He could well be the next Sugar Ray Leonard. But how would we ever know if he's only fighting once a year?

That still doesn't clarify anything. So Rashidi Ellis was presented to Villa. By whom? Al Haymon?

i'm not a journalist.
I had a conversation with a buddy of mine who's in Villa's team about it.

He said Ellis's team were pushing for the rematch but they might get Boots.

I didn't ask if Haymon was involved.
But when guys mention PBC it's safe to assume he is.

That is not what you said in your first post. You said Villa was presented with 2 options, Ellis and Ennis. And Villa is considering the Rashidi rematch, while his team is pushing for the Ennis fight.

Anyways, let's just assume Haymon wants the Rashidi/Villa rematch, while Espinoza wants Villa's team to take the Boots fight. What other scenario could there be? Let them settle it out themselves (Espinoza and Haymon.)

And let's just leave it at that.

I didn't go back and read my post you mentioned.
But when you pressed me for more details I tried to remember exactly what my buddy said.
Like I mentioned. I wasn't interviewing him.
It was just part of a conversation we were having.
But from what my buddy said.
They were leaning towards fighting Ennis and weren't interested in the rematch with Ellis.

It’s not even about being a hype job or not. Facts are dude ain’t tryin to fight any legit opponents. His team just wants to slide into a vacant belt never thought I say this but got more respect for that silver spoon feed Tim Tszyu than Boots right now. Tszyu at least fought Harrison when he didn’t need to while putting his mando spot on the line while Boots just looking to fight cherry’s

But I thought Mean machine wasnt a credible opponent according to boxingscene.

now that he's been stopped by bud and vergil.... boxingscene says he's being ducked....

I say thank God boots turned down this cherry

Why is Ellis even in the conversation if it was not presented? If the Boots Ennis was the only fight offered, why even mention Ellis? Forget about Ellis and stop mentioning his name.

Ima mention whomevers name I want.
You're so hung up on this like if you have a personal stake in it.

Without mentioning who my buddy is ( out of respect for him ) i've answered all your questions.
Yet you come back with more questions and comments trying to refute what I said.

If you have some inside info or anything to put what I said in doubt bring it out.
If not. Keep it moving kid

[tomhawq]

He doesn't.
But it was an option that was presented to Villa. Instead his team is pushing for Boots.

So the Rashidi Ellis fight was an option presented to Villa. Let's just leave it at that.
