Let's be honest, Broner can box, I won't deny that. But the fact that he tries to copy Mayweather inside AND outside of the ring is a joke. I mean, okay- he copies his boxing style cause obvious it's an effective style. But that he acts outside of the ring exactly like Mayweather (Broner choked Eloy Perez at the weigh in just like Floyd choked Victor Ortiz) is a fu_king joke. That just tells me he has the mentality of a 9 year old kid. A man wouldn't try to be exactly like another man, especially not when the whole (boxing) world is watching. That is totally embarrassing.
Broner is thinking: "Floyd is on top, he makes a sh_itload of money. If I act, box, talk and be like him, I will be the next guy on top making millions."
But that's the mentality of a little kid and not of a grown man.
My advice for Broner: be yourself or get lost cause pple laugh about a guy who copies his idol like that.
Broner has a person that imitates Mayweather. His style also emulates Floyd.. But Broner's skills are the real deal imo. Without or without the "Money" gimmick, Broner will make a mark in boxing.
Im surprised so many pple agree with me cause I thought the Floyd fans would come out of the woodwork and defend "number 1 Floyd fan"-Adrien Broner.
lol@ the pictures which were posted in this thread. Its really true: it is SOOOO obvious that Broner wants to win over the Floyd fans so they pay for his future PPV fights. but the interesting thing is that Floyd NEVER was a pay-per-view attraction for the most part of his career. he only became one cause he didnt lose for all those years and at some point his haters paid for his PPV fights to see him lose. Interesting also that Floyd basically became "so big" although he ducked so many fighters. but he could always sell to the public that he is "undefeated". that he ducked so many fighters doesnt seem to matter to the public.
at least half of the pple who pay for Floyds fights want to see him lose and hate him.
But Floyd never was a big star a few years ago
Spoken like a true d*ck rider!!!
He keeps hitting high ppv numbers consistently and u still knocking him lol...how many times can someone so boring fool the public?! Time to admit that he brings a lil more to the table big dawg.
When Kobe Bryant first hit the scene in the NBA people were ranting that he was trying to be too much like Michael Jordan. Maybe he was initially but at some point he carved out his own place in history and created his own legacy. Broner is no different. Let the kid grow and let's see how he turns out.
OK? This thread of so random lol some guy that just wanted to rant about Broner I guess
Broner is actually doing the right think copying Mayweather...you wanna know why...BECAUSE ALL OF YOU IDIOTS ARE TALKING ABOUT HIM! So Mission Accomplished for Broner, by people going around saying, "He Fights Like Mayweather" "He Tries To Be Like Mayweather"...it really doesn't matter what your actually saying about him...the bottom line is that your TALKING ABOUT HIM, YOUR WATCHING HIM and most who already hate the guy will keep watching hoping to see him get knocked out and while you continue to follow his career just waiting to see someone shut him up...GUESS WHO WILL BE MAKING MONEY OFF OF ALL OF THIS? YEP...BRONER!
So lol at some losers on a boxing forum who somehow think they are "MOCKING" or "LAUGHING AT" Broner...uh actually your not, your HELPING HIM BECOME FOR FAMOUS by posting about him in Forums, so the people who haven't seen him will say "WHAT IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS BRONER GUY...LET ME CHECK HIM OUT"
I say use the Mayweather persona all the way until you start to get the attention and a little bit of the fame...then you flip it and you switch up and show more of your own Persona
That's true but you need to back up all that talk or this could backfire ala Haye/Klitshko. Haye made a lot of money but he might not get another big payday ever again. His own country now refuses to put him on ppv...
it cant be grown men that write these kinda rants, rite? i mean sure broner isnt original. but if ur gonna copy both inside and outsie the ring, why not copy off the guy who does both the best. and floyd does both the best out of any fighter since roy jones' prime.
Broner is already better at this persona than Floyd is too, at least I think he is. If he actually lives up to the talent, the guy could be a monster PPV seller.

I can't stand Floyd but he's a great fighter and has a proven formula for success like Ali and Gorgeous George before him. If he can make a name, and more importantly money, taking that route than more power to him.

Broner is doing EXACTLY what he is suppose to be doing. The quickest way to fame in today's american society is to be a polarizing figure...either you love me or you hate me.
either you pay to see me dominate or you pay to see me get the beating you may feel i deserve.
it's why people tune into american idol, wrestling, basketball, football, even reality television.
people are lost when they don't feel anything about you. give those people a feeling, dislike/ hatred, and let your actual work earn their respect.
ali was at the bottom of the barrel as far as popularity at one point and soon had foreign nations screaming his name. floyd is closing in on that as the money persona fades and broner aspires to be next.
Good post.
Yeah Broner is following a proven formula. Polarization. Force the spectator to make a choice, whether they like or dislike you. Either way its money for you. He may be using a few of Mayweather's' mannerisms and looking like a lil bootleg Floyd in the ring, but mostly he's polarizing himself to the masses.

True, but he is young. Give him time to develop his own personality. Floyd is a strong personality like Ali was. We saw a lot of fighters imitate Ali as well. Its human nature.
It's also called knowing how to make a lot of money.....
Let's be honest, Broner can box, I won't deny that. But the fact that he tries to copy Mayweather inside AND outside of the ring.......
Will give him many many many many pac-tarded fans.. and because of this he will make a lot of money.
