Is Floyd's stepping on Broners toes or helping him?

It's all things. First he's stepping on his toes. Second he's helping Broner save face and possibly his career by getting in the way of a possible Maidana rematch. If Broner was a man he would speak up and try and keep his rematch but he's belly up.

earned the fight by beating bum ass broner?
lmao

Or maybe fight fans will discredit a potential Broner win out of sheer distaste for the guy. Only time will tell.
AB would regain all of his momentum if he gets the Maidana rematch right now and then wins it. (Whether he would actually win at this point is questionable.)
Without a Maidana rematch, AB starts to look like VO: another "next big thing" who got derailed and would have to rebuild his credibility. Unlike Ortiz who took a bunch of soft touches before Peterson, there aren't really many soft touches in the welterweight division. Would a win over Shawn Porter do much for Broner's credibility? Ehhh....
If Floyd fights Maidana now and beats him then it'll hurt Broner in the long run. A Broner-Maidana rematch would be less appealing, less relevant, and would mean less for Broner cleaning up on a guy that big brother Floyd already fought for him.
