Leonard Ellerbe recently spoke glowingly about Jaron Ennis at a media workout for Davis-Romero. Ellerbe also revealed that Floyd Mayweather is a huge fan of Ennis.
In a conversation with Leonard Ellerbe, Floyd Mayweather reportedly said:
"Who the f**k is this boots guy ? That motherfu**er can fight his ass off. He right now is one of the best fighters in the world without a belt."
Ellerbe revealed that he would love to sign Jaron Ennis:
"What I love about boots is that he is my kind of guy. His work ethic is crazy. He don’t smoke he don’t drink. His focus is this sh*t write here. He is not chasing them broads. He is focused on his career I would love to work a guy like that. If ‘Boots’ Ennis signs with Mayweather promotions I can guarantee the fights he is looking to get, he’ll get and hell make a bunch of fu**ing money doing it too."
