Who would Broner have to beat to become a real star?

1 million according to Iole People forget his last ratings were pegged on the fact that he had the Bradley vs Pac replay as a lead in. He didn't have the Pac-Bradley replay, Chavez Jr did since his fight was the week right after Pac-Bradley. I don't think Broner had anything going leading into his fight. Broner-DeMarco went H2H against the UFC though, which is tough for anyone not named Floyd or Manny.

@LW : Gamboa @JWW : Garcia, Khan

Once he takes on a few challengers at 140 it's pretty much guaranteed. People his size.

Broner's fight with Escobedo did 1.4 million viewers, a very good number especially for BAD. His fight with DeMarco did 1.05 million viewers, but he went up against a UFC card ont he same night. plenty of people probably watched only the UFC or DVR'd Broner. So considering that, 1.05 was probably pretty good, not great though.

What were the ratings for the DeMarco fight??? I find it hard to believe he'd do less than the 1.4 million who watched him against Escobedo. 1 million according to Iole People forget his last ratings were pegged on the fact that he had the Bradley vs Pac replay as a lead in.

Khan Khan Khan. I think that fight would make Broner a star even if it isn't the best fight for him at 140. But Khan isn't really a proper star either, and did Garcia become a star after beating Khan?

Even if Marquez were to lose another close decision to Manny, Broner-Marquez could still happen. Say Broner has 1-2 more fights at 135, and say Marquez fought Rios or Garcia at 140 and won, than Broner-Marquez could happen in the Fall 2013.

If he were to beat a Gamboa, given Gamboa comes back strong, and than move up to 140 and beat a few people like Rios, Garcia, Marquez, Matthysse, he'd be a star.

the big dogs at 140 Matthysse, Rios, Marquez, Garcia, Khan, Peterson...people his size this right here ^^^^^^^^

Khan Khan Khan. I think that fight would make Broner a star even if it isn't the best fight for him at 140.

He would at the very least have to beat the top 140 lb fighters..Garcia, Mathysse, Khan, Peterson, even Guerrero would be good.. If he can beat at least some of those names it would elevate him into Star contention! 1 of those names and Pacquio would bring him to stardom as well, I would really like to see him and Pac because there closer to the same size and theirs styles would make for a perfect fight!

For Some People....NOBODY! If he beats one fighter the fans are hyping up, they will just jump on the next opponent bandwagon, it will continue to be like that most of his career unfortunately And Roy Jones saying that he thinks Broner is Top 5 P4P...THAT IS HIS OPINION! At least he has his OWN unlike so many "So Called" boxing fans today

To become a star you have to beat a star. Who's the biggest star in Broner's neighbourhood? The correct answer is marquez

About Roy saying he thinks Broner is top 5 P4P. So he feels that Broner, pound for pound, is better than the Mares, Klitschko's, Bradley, and Marquez. I don't see what is so crazy about that TBH. Isn't the top 10 P4P list subjective anyway? I mean you could have Kessler and Froch in there and no one could really say anything to you. You could have even done something crazy like putting Anselmo Moreno in the top 10, which would be f-cking beyond crazy if you ask me...oh wait. Now with that said, I disagree with Roy, but I wouldn't call what he said crazy. I would say Broner could be top 10. i think that broner is better then mares.........no question about it in my mind.

did you guys even read the tread title? the key word is "star" not who you want to see broner fight based on butt bruised emotions. Matthysse, Rios, Marquez, Garcia, Khan, Peterson mathysse has no star quality........it would be a MASSIVE win for broners resumes but sadly it won't do anything for his star quality. the same goes for peterson, garcia. rios would be decent........but marquez & khan would jump his star quality 10 fold (especially marquez)

Since his last fight with Marco pulled lower ratings than the other time Broner seriously needs some kind of boost to get more eyes on him. So Canelo seems to have Cotto lined up for him. Chavez Jr needs to beat Martinez. Who would Broner need to beat to get that extra boost? Juan Manuel Marquez? It would have PPV potential.

No top 10 fighter at 135 will do this for Broner, not even Burns or Richard Abril. Gamboa would be a very good fight at 135 that would actually add a good name opponent on his resume Other than that I agree that Broner's career-highlighting fights are at 140+. A fight with Matthysse will really make him look good. I wish I could say Rios and Garcia, but Rios is TR and Garcia is Haymon like him, and Haymon fighters don't fight each other. There's also Marquez, obviously a huge name to add, especially coming off a win over Pacquiao. But would Marquez want Broner, and could you honestly blame Marquez for turning down Broner at his age? Marquez understandably will want the much bigger names like probably a Mayweather rematch, a 5th fight with Pacquiao, Timothy Bradley, or Danny Garcia. Marquez-Garcia at 140 is more likely to happen than Broner vs Marquez/Garcia. Then there's the rest, Khan, Peterson and the gatekeeper Judah. Any win over these three would be considered his best win to date.
