Turki: "He didn't go by his word and changed his mind about the Vergil Ortiz fight. He stopped responding to my calls and decided he didn't want to go go 154"

Eddie Hearn admitted that Boots was aware of the offer to fight Ortiz and talked with Hearn about it, and turned it down



Damn, Team Boots Ponzi Scheme looking funny in the light :huhldup:

Tbh I dont see it as badly as some others on here.

Ennis wanted the Ortiz fight at 147 (according to these videos.)

Ortiz can't make 147 really anymore. Ennis can just make it to 147.

Ennis is worried about fighting a killer first up at 154, wants to ease into 154. Gotta be careful moving up weight classes, let alone against tough opposition, your career can change quickly, look at Tsyzu.

I can understand it looks sorta shyt, but I get it.

I can't understand it. You saying you want to fight the best like Bud and Vergil but when it's times to fight you worried.

Can't have it both ways. Either you want the smoke or not. I like Boots but it's not a good look for his team.

And I don't think it's a weight thing because I want to say Bud at one point offered to fight him at 147.

Looking back on it when Wallo and Gillie had Bud on their podcast and called Boots, Boots sounded scary as hell.

You basically just explained why people see this as a bad move aka a Duck lol

It contradicts everything Boots and his team have been saying for the past 3 years. Can't call yourself a boogieman with that mindset
