Comments Thread For: Matchroom Aims to Put Jaron Ennis on Path to a Terence Crawford Blockbuster Fight

[Goatintheboat]

You know the funny thing is I'm probably one of just a handful of posters on this site that has actually been around to see the ebbs and flows of the business of boxing in America. I have seen tons on en****** over the last several decades that claimed to be the saviors of American boxing and were going to take over the sport. Just to see them fizzle out bigtime and boxing settles back right into where it always has been, in American hands. The same ol' pillars of the sport like Bob Arum, Don King, the Duvas, Lou Dibella, Joe Diguardia (RIP), Sampson Lecowicz, Stephen Espinoza, Al Haymon, Shelly Finkel, Tom Brown, Luis Decubas Sr & Jr, Butch Lewis, Sam Watson, ODLH, Cameron Dunkin (RIP), Salita, Floyd Mayweather Leonard Ellerbe and a few others always seem to be around boxing through the good times and bad. Hearn and Dazn came in 2018 with plans on monopolizing American boxing and failed miserably. Burned through 6 billion dollars of the Ruskie's rubles with no stars at all. Now he's teamed up with a Saudi oilman and here we go again. They announce one fight card this fall with half the card filled with PBC fighters and somehow the Saudi oilman and the fog horned Brit (sorry couldn't help it) has figured out what all the American boxing suits could not. Are you guys really ready to go on this emotional roller coaster again? Just like they did in 2018, Dazn is going on another shopping spree with another sucka and they are going to drop HUGE BAGS on a few fighters (and good for them) just to again be disapointed when the profit margins are nowhere close to what they thought they would be. All the aforementioned American promoters will be feverishly working behind the scene and using all their tentacles to destroy the 'new kids on the block' while doing business with them to get their fighters paid while waiting for Dazaster and Big Turkey to spaz out again. Smh. By the way has anyone noticed that there aren't any Top Rank fighters on this card. Ol' Bobby boy has seen thei movie before and he ain't going noooooo where!!!

Don't cry. Eddie was always going to win. But what's not to like

Won what?? Did you read what I just said. PBC nor Top Rank ain't going anywhere. There are 4 to 5 PBC fighters on the card. Apparently Al the the Sheaki made a deal not Eddie. Stop it!

They clearly want the fight now and he’s fighting Madrimov lol

yeah, funny how he always seems to wait until 10 minutes AFTER Bud signs a fight contract to start running his mouth.

“Bring something to the table”? Dude! Khan, Brook, Avanesyan and Kavaliauskas brought absolutely nothing to the table YET they all got a shot at Bud.

actually, they brought something BIG to the table. THEY WERE WILLING TO FIGHT CRAWFORD. When Boots was offered the Crawford not once but TWICE, both times his pops said "nah we good"...........

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Was the same thing with Crawford Pacquaio, Pacquaio wouldn't fight a relatively unknown Crawford the same way I can't see Crawford doing the same at this later stage of his career.

Same here, looking forward to that one. It's a great time to be a fight fan after a quite miserable last 8-10 years for the most part.

I don’t think Crawford ever fights at 147 again. The division is a bit of wasteland now. With Crawford and Spence gone, Ennis and Crowley could arguably be considered the best fight in the division, maybe Stanionis is in that mix too.

[LAchargers373]

LOL

Vergil Ortiz
Tim T
Crawford
Spence
Fundora
Mendoza
Madrimov
Jesus Ramos
Xander Zayas
Josh Kelly

Could you show me who is even left in 147? I'll help.

Barrios
Crawley
Benn
Villa
Cissokho
Santillan

You stay in that LDBC delusional world. Ennis undefeated record is gone at 154 but he hide out in 147. Again Saudi say they will pay just like Black Prime was willing to pay. Why is he not tuning up in 154? Are the Saudis' direct deposits bouncing or do they have monopoly money like Black Prime but David said his money cleared for the Crawford fight, the fight Booty Daddy wouldn't take.

Out of this list only bud is special I like xayas but he not ready

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

Have Boots spank Ryan Garcia and then it becomes a real payday for Crawford to fight him. That is the only way I see it happening any time soon.

[BlackRobb]

Boots could have had this fight two years ago, but his daddy professed loyalty yo a company that closed its doors to the sport. Unless Boots gets a belt at 154, he's never fighting Bud unless $20M is on the table for Crawford. Crawford does not need him and will get very little credit for beating him -- the Boots dck riders will roll out the "He was too green" excuse just like they rolled out the "car crash" and "retina surgery" excuses after Bud vaporized Errol.

[Feint First]

How many years did Crawfish cry, and moan, and beg for a fight with Spence? When Spence was clearly the A side and Crawfish was doing sub-100k ppv's with top stank.

Crawfish and his stans accused Spence of ducking and PBC of boxing him out, and now he's signed to PBC and doing the same thing to Boots. Crawfish is a hypocrite.

Using that very logic, if Boots IS WILLING TO FIGHT CRAWFORD now, isn’t he bringing something BIG to the table?
Or are you going to shift goal post NOW and say that the ship has now sailed for him?

Also using that very logic, if Teofimo or Brandon Rios are WILLING TO FIGHT CRAWFORD, that alone is “bringing something to the table”?
