Comments Thread For: Broner-Burns Still Being Worked on For February 16

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is doing his best to reach an agreement with Frank Warren to stage an HBO televised lightweight unification between champions Adrien Broner (25-0, 21KOs) and Ricky Burns (35-2, 10KOs). Broner is scheduled to return on February 16th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

The finalization of the fight will depend on whether or not Burns will lower his monetary demands. Burns is asking for a significant sum of money to fight Broner in the United States, and some reports indicate the Scottish boxer would like to get his purse without having to pay United States taxes.

The first time Burns ducked Broner the excuse was that he couldn't make 130 lbs for one more fight.

Now it's because he doesn't way to pay taxes.

Just say you're scared of him and end it already, Ricky.

I'm still hoping for it.

Come on Burns, fight the best to prove yourself. You don't need a tune up.

I still hope it could happen. Burns, Abril, and Vazquez/Gamboa (if this fight happens next year) are the three fights Broner should do in 2013.

Chill, Shaeffer. He wasn't asking for tax-free money. His manager was asking for a purse guarantee that would leave Ricky with a certain sum AFTER TAX. He wasn't saying they wanted a tax-free purse.

Anyway, his manager's an idiot.
