Great move for Boots. Showtime (aka PBC) wasn’t doing shyt for his career. Maybe now Eddie can invest some actual money into him so he can get some real opponents. Maybe even make a real effort to get Bud

Eddie is going to end up overpaying as Matchroom has nobody for boots at 147 or 154 outside of Conner Benn. That said Boots can maybe do a 2 yr Euro Bum tour but lets be real Boots already got 30 fights and is still waiting to break out. Hopefully this isn't a long term deal just so he can have flexibility as the boxing landscape is going to be totally different 2 yrs from now.

It will be interesting to see what matchroom can do with Boots. I don't think he got alot of big fights at 147 unless Bud fight him and it should be easy now cause PBC ain't in the way like you guys say right :umad:

its going to be interesting what fast eddie does with him...he might finally get that homecoming philly fight as champ now lol...but its all but assured benn will be next as long as hes on the IBF 147 rankings or IBF doesnt call a mando
Hopefully he can fight Vargas in the near future at 54. Those two should've been put on a collision course

I`m really wondering how long Boots wants to stay at 147, he could low key go to 154 and poster for the IBF I would assume and then force Bud/Spence hand if they want all the belts and worst case aims for Virgil Ortiz too

Sounds like he plans to be there for awhile if he's talking about unification and being undisputed.
