I mean look at this:

They're all making things up.

That video is three weeks ago, while the article you posted was three days ago.

Ennis and Crowley don't have significant promotional backing, so it doesn't surprise me that this is going to purse bid. Both guys probably want more money than what PBC is willing to give them.

Question is why did/do these Youtubers assume it would be on PBC and on Canelo's undercard? Where is their source?

I suspect Cody still doesn't want the fight.

But maybe there is more money in a purse bid but since neither is a name really idk about that. Might just be gambling on a bigger offer & Cody will walk when that lower number comes in.

Yeah, that's their source, effing Chris Mannix thinking out loud. What does he know about what's going on exactly inside the mysterious PBC cave?

Additionally, I don't see Matchroom or GBP putting in a bid. Hearn seems to be very interested in Ennis, and maybe winning that purse-bid would be his way of wooing him? Ennis/Crowley seem to be stuck with TGB.
