'My hero back then, Roy Jones Jr did the same (sort of). He refused to sign with the two titans of boxing promoters Don King and Bob Arum. He shunned fighting in Vegas and forced HBO to stage PPV fights in Pensacola, FL...PENSACOLA N DA HOUSE!!! After his career was done he admitted by not signing with Arum or King and fighting in Vegas he probably lost out on 500 million dollars'

Nope, he woulda earnt $500m & King/Arum woulda took $450m & then the IRS woulda come for taxes of $150m leaving the poor bro down $100m. Way it always, always works. The only boxer I've ever known make money off King was Lennox Lewis & Lewis was one shrewd MoFo.

Uhhh...nooooo.....crying? That would be Ryan Garcia fans crying that he is getting dragged online for getting caught with roids and about to be suspended. That's crying. I'm merely stating a fact that Boot's best move would have been to sign with PBC. He wasn't getting fights from PBC because he wasn't signed to them.

I've seen this before back in the 90s. My hero back then, Roy Jones Jr did the same (sort of). He refused to sign with the two titans of boxing promoters Don King and Bob Arum. He shunned fighting in Vegas and forced HBO to stage PPV fights in Pensacola, FL...PENSACOLA N DA HOUSE!!! After his career was done he admitted by not signing with Arum or King and fighting in Vegas he probably lost out on 500 million dollars. Which meant he was broke at the end of his useful career and had to keep fighting to earn money. Seeing him getting dog walked and KO'd in Russia and other parts of the world was a very sad thing for me to see. You see, even tho I don't know Boots personally, I have a personal I-95 inner city connection with the success of his career. Richmond, VA--> D.C. --> Baltimore--> Philly--> Jersey--> NYC! Boxing, basketball, football, track &field, baseball..whatever the sport I want the best for my bros...especially someone as talented as Boots. Not crying just want the best sir!

Problem with PBC is the media don't have full access of what exactly is happening inside the mysterious island. Why, for example, did the Barrios vs Ennis fight didn't materialize? It was anticipated long before the Crowley fight was even ordered by the IBF, which again PBC didn't show any effort in securing for Ennis. You need to explain why the lack of interest. PBC could have offered him a deal, but they didn't.
