Josh Kelly’s manager/coach Adam Booth says Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn gave them a “Derisory” Offer to fight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis on October 11 in Philadelphia. Booth claims that they were told they needed to accept the offer within 24 hours.
Adam says that Hearn’s offer was “less than half” of what has been doing the number 3 Wbo Kelly (17-1-1, 9 kos) for his ten-round fights. Said that Hearn brought to social media to talk about how he had made the offer, and he saw it as spirf pressure tactic Force Kelly to accept Ballball’s offer.
“The date was on October 11 in Philadelphia for a struggle purse that Eddie (Hearn) knows is derisory (ridiculously),” said coach/manager Adam Booth in Ring magazine canalSpeaking of the offer that promoter Eddie Hearn made for Josh Kelly to fight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
Investment in Ennis career is not there. If Hearn wants to fight for “boots”, like Kelly’s clash, he must be willing to pay more than he wants. In other words, invest in Jaron.
It seems similar to the way Hearn could not negotiate a fight for Ennis against Wbo heavy weight champion Brian Norman Jr., offering what his team felt too low. When Hearn failed to sweeten the offer, his fighter, “Boots,” he had to fight a resale ordered by Ibf with Karen Chukhadzhian.
“It was less than half of what Josh was paid for a ten -round attack and Eddie knows,” said Booth about Lowball’s offer. “The fact that he has gone directly to the media instead of talking to me … said:” We need an answer in 24 hours because we have other options. “In an hour, I saw that it appeared on social media.
So, Hearn tries to get Kelly at a basement basement price and will not work. Kelly has just received a good day for his fight against Ismael Davis on Turki Alralikh’s Riyadh season card last September in London. He will probably want an even better purse than he achieved for this struggle, because Ennis is on another level than Ismael.
If you are Kelly, you have to wait at least one wallet in the $ 2 million range for a headline against Ennis. If Turki gets involved, the price should increase even more.
“If Eddie is serious to make this struggle, he has to talk to me and make a serious offer,” said Booth. “When you really don’t want to fight, make a Ballball offer. Make an offer that you know is not enough. It feels like this at the moment, but let’s see what it takes today.”
Booth has mistaken it. Hearn wants Kelly’s struggle, but he is trying to get it at a low price because he does not have to spend much. Of course, Hearn wants this fight because Kelly is classified #3 WBO, and the shock for Ennis would be a 154-pound titles removal to become the mandatory challenger of the Xander Zayas champion. This is the weakest bond between the four half junior weight champions. Fighting against him would be a step in the boots of his recent fights against Eimantas Stanionis and Karen Chukhadzhian.
“Don’t pressure on me. We have other options. There are still ten weeks before the date he mentioned (October 11),” said Booth.
