he retweeted a racial slur against Hispanics...
I don't remember the exact words but it was directed at Brandon Rios not all Hispanics. Rios had been talking **** about Broner leading up to the Eloy fight and how he wanted Eloy to knock Broner out. Broner later deleted the retweet and apologized for it.
I'd like to see Broner fight someone like Will Tomlinson, Bryan Vasquez, or Argenis Mendez. All highly ranked WBO SFW's and Vasquez-Mendez are Top 10 RING SFW. Mendez arguably beat Salgado when they fought too.
Hopefully they get Escobedo a decent opponent. Someone like Martin Rodriguez, Jorge Solis, or Roman Martinez. It makes a Broner-Escobedo fight more legit.
It was supposed to feature Humberto Soto vs Lucas Matthysse, but they moved the bout to the Ortiz vs Berto II card on June 23.
after being kinda harsh on Broner I tried liking the guy.
By reasoning that the classless way in which he behaves was an act... and he was just trying to feed his family.
Upon seeing him retweet racist tweets and seeing how he tweets in general
I really want to see someone knock him out....
what racist stuff did he say
yea those bromos sure are lame
Lol bromos!!! I didn't even know who this guy was a year ago but now every time am on boxingscene he's on every page! Have to say he has come a long way in a short period of time with his Mayweather-like attitude.

Why did they move it?
When did this happen?
Find the reason. They got more money from Showtime to put the fight on their channel.

Why did they move it?
When did this happen?
About a month ago. Schaefer announced it, but he didn't really give a reason. Maybe they wanted more time to prepare, but it was officially moved around the same time they moved the entire card to Staples Center.
wait whats the third fight? isnt it just peterson-khan 2 and broner?

So this is going to be a triple header right? Or is that Broner fight not going to be televised? If it's a triple header that's a good job. Good card.
