I wonder who Stanionis' manager is now, and whether that will result in him staying more active.

How can active can he possibly be on PBC's schedule?

I think Stanionis re-signed because PBC still has a foothold at 147 and 154. If he loses his 147lb title, he'll just move up and have access to some decent competition. But, PBC is partly to blame for his recent stretch of inactivity in the first place. If not for Canelo, Stanionis could potentially still be on the shelf. I don't completely understand the logic behind this decision, but I think changing managers was the right move. I wanted to see Ennis/Stanionis, but now with Stani signing this extension....Turki may have to intervene. Perhaps Ennis/Stanionis could happen on a Saudi card.

If the PBC reps are developing a relationship with Turki, then maybe we'll get Ennis/Stanionis. In a perfect world, Ennis would've been on the Crawford/Madrimov undercard in a unification.

PBC does lack dates but more than anybody else this makes me worry about Boots' options. Stanionis can unify with PBC. What Boots can do with Hearn now, idk.

The least MR can do is keep Ennis active, but the issue is they want to quickly build him into a star due to the amount of money they're spending on him. Star-building is a gradual process and it requires consistent level of activity. After Avanesyan, unification must be a priority...but it can't be at the expense of activity. Ennis cannot end 2024 with just one fight. Worst case scenario, line up Chukhadzhian and see if Ennis can KO him in the rematch. Cissokho, Crowley, Chukhadzhian, Giyasov, Gollaz, Sasaki....just keep Ennis BUSY! If nothing is moving at 147, then petition the IBF for a 154lb title shot and face Murtazaliev or Lubin. I also think Ennis should be willing to take smaller money, in order to be more active.
