The last thing Broner needs to do is start hanging out with Mayweather. He's already funnier and easier to hate than Mayweather ever has been. If he picks up any of Floyd's habits, he'll just be less funny.
There was an article on yahoo on this, they said he should be kept away from Floyd on the basis that he might teach him to cherry pick and deny Broner fulfilling his true potential like he did to himself.
Mayweather's ring talent and boxing expertise are beyond debate-- He is a master boxer and definitely one of this era's very best. To say any less would be pure denial or sheer ignorance. But, in terms of outside-the-ring conduct and having a fan-conscious fighter's attitude, the five-division world champ has been a dismal failure.
Aside from the domestic abuse charges, which led to a two-month jail sentence earlier this year, and the various other altercations in his life, Mayweather has also been the poster boy for frivolous wasting of money. The fighter has spent the better part of that last five years or so making it rain in night clubs, betting massive amounts of money on sporting events, and otherwise doing recklessly silly things with large chunks of money. He's been living as though a fighter's money is an endless source and that the well will never run dry.
Of course, those of us who have followed the sport know that this is not the case. The richest of boxers often find themselves dead broke after no longer being able to fight. Mayweather, despite making as much as $40 million per fight, is still living paycheck to paycheck. Unlike his Filipino arch-nemesis, Manny Pacquiao, he doesn't have any endorsement deals, production deals, or any other irons in the fire. His Mayweather Promotions "company" is still unlicensed and pretty much DOA.
And, in terms of fan recognition and appreciation, Mayweather claims the opposite, but the truth is that he likely cares little about what the fans actually say or think. From the way that he has conducted his career thus far, it appears that he only loves to stroke the fan base that sees him as a celebrity and he pays little attention to the hardcore fight fans who have actually made him the celebrity.
So, now, he's passing down the seeds of disconnect to the next generation of fighter. But, whereas Mayweather became the Mayweather of today well after having established himself as a superstar in the ring, Broner is getting the indoctrination well before he has earned his spot among the best and the brightest.
It's obvious from his ring style and general attitude that Broner has a great appreciation for Mayweather. Over the last couple of years, Broner has morphed into a mini-Floyd, both in fighting style and lifestyle. This face time with Floyd will only enforce this esteem and appreciation.
So, is a monster being groomed?
What happens to an impressionable young talent being mentored in the art of entitlement before actually earning the right to feel entitled? If Mayweather's 2012 mindset somehow gets transferred into the 23-year-old Broner's head, fans could be in for some truly disappointing, fight-killing drama over the next several years.
Mayweather was, at one point, a world class fighter, first and foremost. He put on entertaining battles and truly pushed his skills in the ring to dominate and destroy his foes. The Mayweather of the "Money" era is now one who reluctantly returns to boxing whenever he needs some more "rain" money for strip club photo-ops. And, while he's still brilliant in the ring, he's generally not pushing for the win anymore. He simply does what he has to do to win. This is good for him, but bad for the money-paying public. There is no doubt that Mayweather's lust for celebrity has tamed his passion for the sport.
The fear is that Broner will develop this same attitude, but even before the world gets to see the brilliance he has inside.

Where are people getting 300k from? I heard him boasting about making 81k against Escobedo, not 300k.
well seems he has enough to throw 10k into the crowd if this video is legit
this is true unless he can turn mayweather promotions around and actually get a license and start a big time business. it had some potential at first but im not too sure anymore.
See, that's why 50 parted ways with him, he is a real business man and knew that Floyd can't handle stuff on his own.....as much as he would like the public to believe he can. That's precisely why he has Haymon and his lapdog Ellerbe, they keep things in line for Floyd.
50 went with the business man, Arum....might be scum but he makes money.

Mayweather as a promoter is nothing without Haymon and GBP. Otoh, GBP and Haymon are just fine without Mayweather. Mayweather with 50 cent would have had better chances of succeeding.
50 is literally worth twice as much as Floyd... and Floyds earning potential will drop drastically in the next few years.
50 Hasnt had a multiple platinum album in awhile, but it doesnt matter... that seems to be the difference.
50 Doesnt rely on what got him started anymore, Floyd does.

Broner pretending like he's some great big baller :lol1: He actually believes he has Floyd's money and name. "Guerrero just want a payday". When Guerrero is making $1.1Million and Broner is making -$300K.
What I truly find funny is that Mayweather and Broner are destined to go broke nomatter how much money they generate or have. This video will be golden when Floyd owes Millions in Taxes and Broner trying to live up to his baller image spends his way to the poor house.
Meh a guy chilling with his idol. Dont get why everyone is so offended. I thought the vid was blah.

that was hard to watch
Floyd is like a pull string doll. He literally only has about 12 different sentences that he says. And Broner sat their like a little boy sitting next to his crush.

Actually, I recently read on a celeb site that Floyd's net worth is $115m and 50's net worth is $110m. Hardly able to buy and sell Floyd.
floyd is worth ~ 70 million according to a few sources. 50 cent is worth more than that. he's also got his money working for him, the way a wealthy man should. floyd really doesn't do that.
additionally, floyd has had countless well documented financial problems. he defaulted on the payments for multiple cars, and at one point he owed the IRS seven figures...
More Reasons To Hate Both of These Fighters...At Least For The People Who Already Hate Them! :no: I actually think it is cool that Mayweather is taking the young fighter under his wing
Mayweather made around $50Million his last fight, Broner made $300k :lol1:
I am sure your in no position to laugh at $300K :no:
