Comments Thread For: Rick Mirigian miffed over failed Vergil Ortiz Jnr-Jaron Ennis talks

I've been side tracked. Boots is a fine fighter and I don't mean to slander him. My issue is with the management and the quality of his promotions, like the email title. I think something Eddy saw caused him to pop his parachute. I think Eddy saw his own mortality, the undisputed father time. Eddy specializes in fighters ages during their career to hedge his bets, to mismatch his boys into old age, he wont go against it. A fighters career is a short life span, it can end in a day or flicker for a while. Chuk 1 was wide, Chuk 2 was closer. What did Eddy see? Did Karen improve or did Boots regress? The Russians are to be taken serious,

Boots and pops boots know for sure, Virgil would turn Boots into looking like Spence after how Bud handled that business…

No offense but the PBC has no money, they put on five $80 PPV's that didn't sell jack shyt or even 1/2 of what they claimed.

No offense taken but ask yourself this logical question... if Pbc sold five PPVs at $80 a pop and they're broke then what do you think everyone else is? I explained this in another post last week. Amazon didn't give Pbc a budget just a platform. Espn isn't renewing the TR contract so they have no budget. Hearn ran thru a $6 billion budget with nothing to show for it and the Russian cut off his budget. GBP is on a fight-by-fight basis with Dazn and they have no budget. So it looks as though all the companies don't have any money but Pbc is the only that has put on successful PPVs over the last few years...but they have no money OK!!

Please don't take this as an offence, but why do you care so much about PBC? Are you related or friends with the owner?

I have noticed so many of your posts about PBC. I have never met another boxing fan that gives two ssshhhiiitttsss about promoters to even talk about them. Never mind to sing their praises. I am just puzzled.

Boots, this is what you get when you can't see the big picture, blinded by a check waving in your face! You're gonna regret not taking this fight, just like Crawford never fighting Pacquiao, and Andrade never fighting Charlo! You better take control of your affairs ASAP! You better be addressing all this dumb ish ASAP! You look real bad fam! Really f'ing bad! SMH! Barrios, Norman, nor Stanionis, can save you! You need Madrimov, and you need a KO!

The only person i've seen claim Boots would have had to decide to drop 147 belt if he went to 154, is Eddie. Has anyone else like the IBF commented on this. He just fought his mando i find it hard to believe IBF would not let him keep the belt if he just had 1 fight at 154

[SUBZER0ED]

Please, miss me with all of this he-said- she-said BS, and get back to me when you ladies have an actual contract signed. Freakin' soap opera, reality tv, tik-tok, melodramatic, mofos!

Well at least now we know Boots actually prefers to stay as an email champ struggling against mid level contenders instead of taking on a real big fight, a real challenge.
I'M Even starting to wonder if he ever really wanted to fight Bud for starters now that he is clearly avoiding Ortiz, maybe hes afraid to move up knowing 154 is full of killers and tough fights now but whatever may be the case it surely doesn't look for Team Ennis.

Boots doesn’t face top fighters. Jokes on whoever thought he would.
