He's done. I was telling my friends last night (they all picked broner to win) that we were made to think Broner is good. All Broner has is handspeed and a few combos. He has terrible defense, no backfoot game, not good power at this weight. He looked good when he was being brought up because he was always the much bigger fighter then his opponents at 130,135.
At 147 he barely beat Paulie in an even fight, stepped up to Maidana and got killed then looked terrible against carlos molina and emmanuel taylor.
I told my friends that most 140 and 147'ers will beat broner.
at 147
Floyd, pac, bradley, brook, khan, thurman, spence, porter all beat him easily
at 140
crawford eats him, mattysse and postol knock him out, danny garcia would beat him (at 140 or 147), peterson beats him, once verdejo moves up he beats him as well.
Broner will be the new Berto. Thank god this hype train is over. His record will have 5 loses if he steps up 3 more times.
To beat Broner you gotta be Broner. Only a fighter with similar persona can humble him after being victorious over him. The type of fighter who would talk trash before, during, and after the fight.
Basically james toney

His classless arrogant persona gets people tuning in just to see him getting owned.
I don't enjoy watching cheaters, like Broner, holding, grabbing, straight arming and using their forearm, when their opponent is fighting within the rules. People in the crowd were booing.
I want to watch boxers using boxing skills (defensive, counter punching, timing, footwork, etc..,). The constant ref breaking up the action and giving penalty points disrupts the flow of a good fight. I think fans would catch on and lose interest in Broner, whose tactics are tiring to watch.
Broner's marketability is his only redeeming factor. His classless arrogant persona gets people tuning in just to see him getting owned. Until he is well and truly humbled he'll probably continue to make money around 140-147.
Ward made $2m. Thats why the premium networks wouldnt touch it.
and that's why he will never get a ggg fight. he makes more than ggg yet he can't draw at all and fights on BET. its not a ppv fight so how in the world are they goign to come up with enough money to pay ward at least 2 million and ggg at least 2 million or more. he could fight kovalev since kovalev isn't a draw either but something tells me he's happy with his 2 million minimums. why fight kovalev for 2 million when you can fight paul smith for 2 million. boxing!
Broner is as done as a used condom.It's clear the beatdown that Maidana gave him left gun shy lest he get hit again.A bit like Hector Camacho after his fight with Rosario.But then again, Broner's not and will never be in his league anyway.
he bet on himself and lost ... **** happens

It's not like Jay-Z was just going to cut him the $40m on signing day; the deal would've likely been spread out over five years, with a certain part of the total payout allotted to each fight. Any type of loss would've derailed that deal, too.
Simply put, Broner needs to put the work in to campaign at 140. If he can settle in there, he can make a career for himself (even in the beating he took against Maidana, he made it the full twelve; can't really call him a punk).
Broner still beats every fighter at 140 sans "Bud' Crawford.
It was the smart move. He can make way more than that on his own.
Past few fights:
-Couple million dollars total.
-Loses to Porter.
?????
-Billion dollars.
Seems pretty simple to get to a billion.
looool i wish i could green k u again.
i don't see how that offer could be legit. cotto got 40 million but most of that money is not from his fight purses. he only made 2 million vs geale and ward reportedly made around 1 million for the smith fight. i don't think broner does anything outside the ring except steal old lady's purses but that's not a great money making venture unless she just withdrew her life savings.

Anybody who deals in business would realise that Roc Nation are not just throwing straight $40m around like its nothing.
There will be an incredible amount of clauses in their favour which means the contract can be broken if x-amount is not recouped. It's probably a contract with potential to earn up to $40m or whatever but Roc Nation are not giving Cotto, Ward or anybody $40m like it's nothing.
They are a large company with some very smart business men on board, there's no chance in hell it's as simple as giving anybody that sum of money. The money they earn will depend on the amount of money they make for the promoter, not the other way around.

Haymon will just pay him more money next time. The more Broner makes, the bigger Haymon's cut. He doesn't care if Broner wins or loses and will probably attract more viewers if he pairs him up to lose because people like to see him get beaten up.
The reality of the PBC... This probably true. I wonder how long Haymon can get away from it before the investors come in and put an end to the farce.
Better question is who gets to Al first, the investors, the feds, or the lawsuits.

He will have a chop chop corley record by the time hes done and the same amount of kids as corley too
Hopefully he goes away quietly and we don't hear from him again.lol
Broner is humiliated. This is why he tried to change the standard last night from actually WINNING a fight, to "you all want my autograph so I win..."
He could not get the victory in the ring, so he changed the criteria in his small mind for the "win."
About Boasting.
Broner seems feeble minded. The fact that he is taking that act of his, to a retard level, like some mentally challenged kid acting like his favorite rapper, should tell you something. He is not well... Has the mind of a 13 year old and will wind up in the hood with $26.42 in his savings account.
He made the right choice. Apparently Uncle AL been bailing him out of Financial Holes and has had ENOUGH of Broner who is out in strip clubs
Just like Haymon can give you great Paydays...he can also take it away if you take it for granted.
I doubt Roc Nation would have put up with Broner for long.
