        At one point the entire PBC fandom were looking for revenge for the Errol Spence upset. Jaron's team saw the wave and hyped him "the giant slayer" and it was a great PR move. In the end, Bozy Ennis was not willing to risk his 26 year old son for peanuts with a prime killer like Crawford constrained to a Showtime exclusive.... because that's what was on the table. I thought it Bozy made the right call and said so at the time.

        Jaron's Career is going to change, he's is in a stacked division with a benefactor willing to put up the money. IMO, this is Jaron's time, he's young but the planets are in line and if I'm correct, Jaron and going to show the world just how good he really is.
        I really wished Boots would have gotten a shot at Spence for the IBF title before Crawford got to him! I never understood why Cameron Dunkin thought Haymon was going to allow that to happen, without Boots signing to PBC! Plus, what's the benefit of fighting on SHO, without being part of PBC? That made no sense! It's just like Crawford signing an extension with TR, when ALL the top WWs were with PBC, then complaining he couldn't get the fights he wanted! That made no sense either!

          Eddie does promote, can't say he doesn't talk a lot and also put in the work.

          Also, can't blame Matchroom for Ennis' team turning down an Ortiz Jr fight, but hopefully they'll do it this year.

          Other than Vergil, it's Bakhram, Fundora and the winner of Xander and Jorge Garcia that are good opponents.

            As long as both guys keep winning there will be too much on the table for the fight not to happen. Ennis just entered the 154lb division, he FIRST needs to beat a top contender to even be seriously considered. Ortiz is way out in front because IMO, he was better promoted. people shyt on Oscar but he's like Bob Arum, a phenomenal promoter and match maker. Don't get me wrong, Ortiz has got some colossal balls, he took the big risks and yes he's the man but it was also his promoter that got him to the dance.

            Ortiz vs Ennis can be massive if done correctly, bigger then Spence vs Crawford but that's still few fights away. Both guys are just in their late 20's. For the sake of practicality, Ennis needs to get his name back to the top of the list, get a belt and then set up a big, big money fight with Ortiz

              Virgil Vs Ennis is a mega fight down the line.

              The PBC is still reeling from the Spence loss and can't afford to risk Fundora's belt to Jaron Ennis so that's probably not on the table. Instead they'll have Fundora fight Keith, Spence, Lubin or rematch Mendoza. Speaking of Mendoza, he and Bohachuk are walk forward fighters and that works well for Ennis, the fact that Bohachuk fought Ortiz to a standstill doesn't hurt either. ​Bakhram is on a island with Cathy Duva and nobody wants to fight him after the Tim Tszyu beating. Xander Zayas is brave like Ortiz but he has to get past Garcia and I don't think Arum is too kin on Xander vs Ennis.

                  Sure, he Ennis ran just like Crawford because they know the only guy that beat the crap out of Teo is George Kambosos.
