Why would Broner jump to ww if he didn't automatically get a title shot ? Don't think he would have jumped two divisions to fight a nobody.
And like another guy said, press shift + 4 and you'll see how boxing, and world, works
....is it fair?
The fact that he will win the title shows he is good enough to be the WW titleholder so why not? If he is good enough to win the title then he deserves to fight for it.
Indeed,
And how about Guerrero?.
He was lightweight interim champion for WBA and WBO, then skipped 140 to fight Aydin for the WBC interim at 147. Defeated Berto and got Floyd.
Is it fair?.
Why didn't he fight Matthysse, Judah, Garcia, Khan etc. etc. ?
At least Broner didn't do any - interim job- , and is fighting Malignacci, not Mayweather. Different prestige, different money.
Broner's persona can be annoying , nonetheless, I don't think he deserves such a huge amount of criticism.
Don't forget about Pacquiao who did it at 135 and 154 and Cotto got a shot at 154 with the quickness too. Is it fair? No, is Broner the only one that has/is doing it absolutely not.
WORLD title belts don;t mean shiet anymore brah
Disagree. With an alphabet title on the line, a fight becomes more interesting in the eyes of the average sportsfan.
You worried about Broner??? Mares has done it for 2 straight fights, Both got the same promoter.

Paulie has been keeping that belt warm until GBP & HBO had figured out what they wanted to do with it. With Mayweather going to Showtime, it seems obvious HBO are now looking to fast track Broner to fill the void.
Paulie is just a pawn in politics, they greased his hand when the time was right and now the time appears to be right to try and build a star in the marketing room.
Life isn't fair. politics wins. Deal with it
Cause boxing is like real world politics . It's who you know . And not what you know . Connections , etc like hbo and all that bs . Which is why we barely get to see the fights we need should see and see worthless ones wasting our time all the time .
