Comments Thread For: Official: Vergil Ortiz Jnr, Jaron Ennis have reached verbal agreement on fight

[DClefthook]

Reports are that PBC and Top Rank are in negotiations now to combine under one entity. Maybe exclusively on Prime or a joint venture between Prime and Espn (my preference). I've been calling for this for almost a decade now. Please let this be an early X-mas gift for American boxing fans!

Neither looked like Class-A fighters their last time out but that's history now. This one's going to do NUMBERS.

Boots at 154 might be the beast he was in his early 20's at 147. If he's indeed having weight problems.

Can't wait

I'm in

I would like to have seen this fight earlier at 147 but I'll certainly take it, if it happens.

[Corelone]

It might happen for two reasons I can think of. One Eddy isn't paying for it and two, Boots devalued himself in Eddys book looking so so vs Karen. Not that Ortiz looked better last out, but Bochuk was a step up and not rerun.

Verbal agreement is the same as guys calling each other out on Twitter. I ain't celebrating til there's an official date

Dont have to celebrate to be positive, there is enough naysayers dogging everything, fighters agreeing is not the same as calling out on Twitter they already called each out and now are one step ahead of that.

I think we will find out about both Ortiz and Boots, although Ortiz has already had a tough out with Bohachuk so we know he is competitive on a championship level. We don't really know how good Boots is. He says he needs better opponents to look good, well now he is getting one.

By the way, if that card gets made, or even close to it:
- Turki will be paying through the nose for that
- it will be a card of the year
- we will be watching all the fights and not just waiting for the last 2 or 3 fights on on the card.

If what you wrote about Ortiz being competitive on a championship level, how do you explain him fight Dulorme in 2024 which is 4 years after Boots had KO’d Dulorne? Didn’t Ortiz need better opponents to look good too or is he exempted from the same scrutiny Boots gets?

Turki is a billionaire and Saudi Arabia is paying for all these fights. The same exact way Saudi Arabia is paying hundreds of millions of dollars to soccer players to lure them away from Europe.
The same exact away they’re also paying tens of millions to get golf into Saudi Arabia.

So, Turki is not losing a wink of sleep over money. The same exact way celebrities pay millions of dollars for painting that aren’t worth shït.

It’s called fũck yöu money.

You are engaging the most vile toxic Neanderthal on this platform. She has nothing positive to say about anyone or anything,

Trying to stuff five main event fights on one card in the Arabian desert at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon going against the NFL playoffs is ABSOLUTE MADNESS!!

We’re still going to watch it, you can watch your foozball ball and baseless ball all you want

[El_Mero]

Apparently Schofied/Stevenson has been agreed to.
