    Crawford will eventually vacate them though, especially if he moves to 154 for Jermell or Tszyu. Ennis should make an effort to get TC, but also try to fight the other contenders.

    I think what you mean to say is...Ennis should sign with Haymon and use Floyd/Ellerbe as his promotional front. Mayweather really only knows how to promote himself, and he doesn't have a stable worth discussing. Ennis will be in Floyd's shadow.

    Ennis needs a promotional relationship that will result in consistent activity.

      How shameless it would've been to put Thurman and Garcia on a PPV on 2023.

        Seems Paramount is making extensive audits of their resources and don't want to lose money any further. Makes me wonder about Canelo's 2 remaining fights with PBC.

          So the Berto vs Guerrero II made it to the November date. A fight nobody anticipated to be in.

          Which other fight made it before Showtime's final exit?

            And he's 36 years old with 40 pro fights. I think he's allowed to do that at this point. He just spent 5 years being frozen out by PBC. Now he's going to do them favors?

              You don't think him fighting the ******ed Charlo brother next will be a big seller?

                Wonder where PBC could find another business deal as good as Showtime's, if not better than.

                  He does have that right, he just won't be doing it with the IBF Title! I don't have a problem with what Crawford is doing, I just have a problem with people trying to blame Boots, when it was Spence and Crawford that did NOT want the smoke with Boots! Boots has been begging for that work!!!

                    This is the beginning of the end to Boxing as we know it. HBO and Showtime was Boxing. Sure ABC was it back in the day but without the paid subscription boxing it is dead. There is no longer a future of boxing on broadcast television. Certainly not for what boxers wish to be paid. It was a nice run Boxing
