Comments Thread For: Jaron 'Boots' Ennis Files Lawsuit Against NOW Boxing, Seeking Release And Judgment In Excess Of $1,000,000

Somebody failed this kid, that's for sure. He should have had many names the caliber of Lipinets or better on his resume by now. There were several semi-washed or completely washed names in and around his weight while he was on the rise. Robert Guerrero, Chris Algieri, Amir Khan, Andre Berto, Kell Brook, Luis Collazo, Devon Alexander, Lamont Peterson, Jessie Vargas, Adrien Broner, etc. Those are the kinds of guys he should have been fighting if he couldn't get ranked contenders or active stars in the ring. Someone who can at least raise his profile while he waits for the big fights. Fighting unranked and no-name guys over and over does nothing for him. Instead it seems like he just waited around hoping for Crawford, Spence, Thurman, or Danny Garcia.

Prime years are being wasted everywhere in this sport.

Really? Looks like it's mostly just in America to me.

The main non-US fighter wasting his prime is Stanionis, and that's because he waited on another American (Spence) based on vague promises.

Keef says he only received a contract from Tazoo and no one else
He mentions Boots’s name and says that him and his team never got anything from them
That’s why I don’t feel bad for him cause they ain’t making any moves hence why they are not fighting
No ody learned anything from GGG that by chasing a fighter will get your career totally derailed
And I don’t believe he wants Bud anyways , just using him as an excuse

He and his goofball dad are not exactly Rhodes Scholars, are they? This is what happens when people with extremely limited education try to navigate the business world.

And yet someone like joseph5620 thinks they're more qualified to value events than Bob Arum. I asked that poster a very simple question about why Crawford, released from the shackles of his evil promoter, is not able to replicate Mayweather and effectively fight who he wants instead of relying on a PPV draw as an opponent. No answer.

Boots is in the same safehouse as the Charlo Sisters. So sad.

Problem is GGG made many many manyyy millions in the process when it was all said and done

Aren't lawsuits quite expensive.

[joseph5620]

How’s this
He was gonna be the mando for Bud when suddenly he decided to go another route
You can see that coming a mile away but now wants the fight ?
He ain’t fooling anyone

You keep repeating that BS with absolutely no credibility behind it. As I said before, you didn't even read the lawsuit. You would rather just throw out anti-Ennis BS and hope it sticks.

[joseph5620]

I figured since the old man passed he wanted out of his contract and this was his way of getting out with reason
Wouldn’t the first fighter who tries to run from a contract when the person he deals with is either deceased or has moved on from that company

No, you just figured you would use your own narrative and agenda rarher than actually reading why Ennis filed a lawsuit.

[BustedKnuckles]

Ennis could be a potential ATG but it means nothing without ability to make smart career choices.

I agree with everything except this. Saying he could be, or couldve been, a atg is like saying if a some person had joined the army and gone off to war, he couldve been a hero. We just don't know: either you become one or don't.

Meanwhile, others are out there staying active and getting at it. Respect to them.

A lot of people seem like they couldve succeeded in various things, but bad decisions or vices sabotage them. It's all part of succeeding; it's not enough a person to have special physical or intellectual attributes.

And this was a philosophy moment with BustedKnuckles. Thanks for tuning in.
