    Yeah that would make perfect sense. Throw Tank in with another no hoper

      It would draw crazy numbers though. You can’t deny that

        **** up or not, Broner was a skilled dude and I’d like to see him back in there.

          Broner is finished, every since he fired his dad from brushing his hair he’s had bad luck inside and outside the ring but part of this is his dad’s fault because instead of brushing his hair he should have been kicking his disobedient A(sS)! Fact

            It’s nauseating to me that he keeps getting to headline shows. If you want to put him on the semi-main to bring the remainder of his fan base and to have him go to local media outlets to promote the card with his schtick, ok.

            But please I’d rather the resources be used for a massive SHOBox card where I can at least see future prospects.
            I'm shocked SHO hasn't used him as a gatekeeper opponent for Ennis. Hearn had the right idea when he was trying to make Benn/Broner. Broner needs to be thrown into the deep end and forced to swim with young hungry fighters to improve his reputation.

              I guess Showtime sees him as a draw for fans. Problem is that he has to be matched very carefully if you want to build Broner back up. He's a name of sorts for someone's resume. Might as well cash him out now.

                He would bring the crowd but me myself I think he's washed up but I would like to see him fight again

                  either throw him in with the lions or save it. No ****** tune up. No one cares anymore. It’s been nearly 10 YEARS since Broner was a serious contender. Save all of the “well if he’s focused...” “If he lets his hands go…” He’s just not that good & doesn’t have the heart or mentality to be that good. Period.
                  That sums it up about Broner. Unfortunately for him,he has to come out with his ****y schtick in order to sell his fights. Then the inevitable loss or controversial decision win against a mediocre opponent. Wash,rinse,repeat.

                    Showtime has been a joke since becoming Haymon's puppet network. Crooked judging and biased commentary. Of course they would do this dumb s**t they like lousy ratings and crap PPV numbers. Once in a while they throw boxing fans a bone but quality is few and far between.

                      If Broner is a free agent, then he should fight one comeback fight then? Go after Conor Benn or Kell Brook.

                      I think he most likely loses to Benn & Brook, but these are big fights for him.

                      It all depends on his form, but right now I think Benn & Brook beat Broner etc.
