Here's the danger: Haymon will try to move those fights over to Amazon.

Its a good thing for the sport of boxing.

Presumably Ennis could enforce his mandatory status with the IBF but without a promoter backing him it's unclear if anyone would want to pay for that fight. Do you know if the sanctioning bodies have announced anything about where things stand with the rotation now Crawford has all the belts?

He's going to have to sit and wait for Crawford to vacate them titles, because Crawford already said he's not fighting Boots! His promoter is Cameron Dunkin, but he's not signed to PBC, TR, GBP, nor MatchRoom!

Jaron Boots don't want the fight either. It's just not Bud. Both don't want the fight.

That would be nice to see PBC and TR fighters scrap with no real obstacles, but in kinda hoping the prime rumors are true. ESPN commentary is really bad. If prime dedicates the same resources to boxing that they do for football, it’d be much better than ESPN broadcast.

lol that ain't happening

Someone should really call out that ****** weasel Espinoza for lying to the people, he did countless interviews saying it was all a lie that showtime boxing was going to end. He even made sarcastic remarks saying they’ve been saying showtime boxing has been coming to an end for years. Fcking clown mf

Espinoza wasn't lying - Showtime boxing didn't just fail and Showtime Sports dropped them. I'm sure boxing was meeting it's target numbers, especially this past year.

But decision was made many levels above Espinoza to eliminate Showtime Sports entirely in the course of all these mergers.

Acting like Espinoza knew and was telling people otherwise is ignorant and silly - Espinoza didn't know he was about to be out of a job.

Nah, it's just Bud! He said Boots ain't "BIG" enough! He only wants "BIG" fights!

But can we at least see some serious effort from Jaron Ennis by filing a petition like he did when Spence was holding the IBF title? Let's not forget Boots also vacated his WBO #1 mandatory spot when no one was asking him to.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Stanionis can't catch a break! Hopefully PBC's deal with Amazon Prime goes through, and we get Stanionis vs. Thurman in early 2024! I also want to see what happens with Boots Ennis! He's not signed to PBC, and SHO is out of the boxing business! Now what does he do???

Dunkin is currently his promoter (?), so Dunkin should take Ennis to whatever network will have him. Ennis is a fighter with lots of potential, and he makes for good TV. It should be simple to find a TV spot for him.

He filed against Spence because Spence had the title forever! Crawford just got the IBF belt! Of course his target was Spence because Spence fights on Showtime, just like he does, and Spence had 3 out of the 4 belts! Boots ain't scared of nobody! Stop Playing!

However, who has anybody for Boots to fight @ 147? Crawford has ALL the straps @ 147! Crawford is with PBC! think Boots should sign with Mayweather ASAP!
