the tone I got from him is he has been blacked balled to a degree as PBC as we know has pretty much been running on loading up Tank and Benevidez cards, and Tank is gone as far as we know. I think he probably did take a year to get his mind right, but I do feel he pretty much getting sent to voicemail by the PBC heads and seems Eddie wants to treat him as cannon fodder for Boots potentially (prob low ball him in his mind plus Eddie states Mell wanted a tune up before boots, and Eddie is like man get from round here with that shyt).
Mell IMO is better for business than Lara and Adames from a public standpoint, but he is what 35 now and they likely can do a Lara and Adamas fight against anyone else for the cost of what Mell might want on his own.
Thats why I`m like with the big names they pretty much gonna use him as a stepping stone so may as well just go be King of Zuffa because it's looking like its over.
If Spence beats Tim I have more faith in PBC banking on the rabbid Texas fan base to bring in some revenue for maybe 1-2 more fights before they sacrifice Spence to the wolves (I won't be shocked if Spence gets presented to the Fundora/Keith winner).
