Browne has a chance to pull the upset here.

Browne has a chance to pull the upset here.

As much as any professional fighter I suppose. But he's soft and chinny which isn't a good combo against Beterbiev.

I'm assuming you're rooting for him because you're a PBC fanboy. I was a fan too until Hot Rod undressed him and he got arrested like four times for beating the same woman.

All I posted was he had a chance here. You’re now assuming things to force it into the narrative from the other thread.

Doesn't seem like Al has much confidence. Otherwise he'd probably bid more than $1.0M for a two-belt lineal LHW fight. Browne's settling for UFC money for such a high-level fight?

Good! Hope Beterbiev smashes him to pieces for what he did to my boy, Top Dawg (Thomas Williams).

Interesting point. These guys aren’t big ticket sellers so maybe it was a cost benefit thing. Maybe haymon doesn’t have the resources.

edit- just saw haymon bid a little more than 1 mil. Lost bid by 105k or so. Maybe he was just being cheap.

He's got all of 0 chance are you forgetting he struggled with Castillo, he'll get sent to the Gulag.

1.1 million for a undefeated unified champion with 100 percent KO ratio. Surely Beterbiev brings in enough viewers to be worth more than 700k

What backs that up? What ratings has he done to show he is a big name?

And he can still get more than 700k with TR giving him additional money to the purse amount.

This is a solid fight. I still hold the thought that if Browne is on his game and focused, he can present a lot of problems and hurt Beterbiev. He has shaky performances and then comes with some top performances.
