Ennis vs Ortiz por Fa vor . Ennius won’t go near Ortiz though I gaurantee it

I think Boots has the style to mess Virgil up. Boots is too twitchy with power and footwork. Nah man. Boots all day

I would enjoy 1 or 2 matches out of the 5, I’d be happy with that!

I’m not saying he can’t win but booty ennis wont go near Ortiz jr that’s a fact. He’s the next Andrade. He waiting for barrios lmao. I used to be a big ennis fan but dude is lame. I wouldn’t bet on it because of all the booty hype but based on their resumes and actual accomplishments Ortiz would annihilate him

Dang, Eddie is acting serious about it...

What a stacked card? I say let’s do it! For the exception of Devin Haney; Who is no longer signed with Matchroom. He is now a free agent.

Therefore, he is no longer contractually obligated to Matchroom. As they currently don’t have options on any of his future fights.

Why is either guy teasing the boxing public, knowing full well neither would actually agree to it. I mean seriously- even if a couple of these fights were signed, most of us would clear our calendars and send our ordering information in for the PPV now, much less 5 of these.

I vehemently disagree. If the money is right they will fight each other. Especially if your Excellency put up the type of money they want.

He is a true boxing fan who loves evenly matched opponents. As opposed to all the cherrypicking matchups we’ve been getting before he got in the sport.

The proposed card is mouthwatering although I cannot see Oscar agreeing to this and risking all his golden geese in one night on one card. I also suspect there will be a few divas avoiding these match ups by over pricing themselves out of it. You know what they say - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Throughout Oscar’s boxing career: He always had a penchant of giving us boxing fans the fights that we demanded to see.

Unlike the fighters today; Oscar was actually a risk taker outside of the ring. He fought the best opposition and competition available.

Which is the reason why he has six losses on his record. Like Canelo he could have easily had a cherry-picking career. However, De La Hoya isn’t wired that way.

He has balls and was a boxing fan type of fighter.

If it makes dollars then it makes cents. One must understand that neither has much leverage as far as box office appeal is concerned. If the money is right. Trust me he’ll fight him even at 154.

I have not heard anything that says the Saudi money is interested here, have you? Honestly asking. Because it would take a chunk of cash to risk that much of each promotions stable on this. I am basing my skepticism of this ever happening based on the fact that oil money is not involved.

Well without the Saudi’s money then the card is a wash. It would never happen. It has to be sponsored by Turki Alashikh in order for it to happen because neither GB or MR would be willing to assume that kind of financial risk or venture.
