Comments Thread For: Broner Wants To Fight Mayweather In Exhibition: 'Why Not Get In There And Make Nine Figures Apiece?'

[Iron Fister]

Entitlement culture translated into boxing. Can you get anymore pathetic?

I'm going to rewatch the whooping old man Manny put on this dude.

If Broner lived up to the hype he had, a fight vs Floyd would have broken all PPV records.

Ha, not a chance. I'd be surprised if it even cracked the top ten.

When it comes to PPV, demographics are incredibly important. Why do you think all Tank's opponents are Hispanic? Coincidence? Like it or not, two black Americans--neither of which heavyweights nor named Mike Tyson--stand little to no chance of rivalling the kind of numbers Floyd pulled in against proven Mexican superstars like Canelo and De La Hoya.

And if you honestly think a fight between Floyd and a fully lived-up-to-hype Broner would do anywhere near the amount of buys as Mayweather/Pacquiao or Mayweather/McGregor, I don't know what to tell you.

Floyd should give broner that alley oop

Why tho? All he's done the last few years is talk ish about how Floyd doesn't love him. This dude has made nothing but bad choices. Why should Floyd put money in his pockets?

[pugil1st]

And this whole "nine figures each" thing". How crazy is that if you think Floyd is going to give you that kind of split?

Broner just needs to get ready for Omar. Omar is going to bring it and if he’s recovered mentally after a rough couple years , he may put an azz whopping on Broner. In fact I hope this fights goes 11 1/2 rounds so the accumulation and busted up Broner can say “next time I train right and let my hands go”. Never thought he had the talent some people felt he had. He was always over rated.

Mayweather-Mosley did 1.5 Million, merely because there was somewhat of a rivalry. A very mild one.

Broner during his short lived meteoric rise was on his way to being a huge star, doing big numbers.

If Broner had gone through the divisions, beating top champions like what he was touted to do, and then fought Floyd, both undefeated, "brothers" turned to enemies story line, the young apprentice vs the master, that's a clear recipe for huge PPV numbers.

Maybe not Mayweather-Pacquaio but it would be up there.

I can't stand Broner, he's the biggest waste of talent in modern boxing. I would spend money to watch Jake Paul fight before I would pay any money to see him, especially in an exhibition.

Nah, Broner was mostly a hypejob who got exposed once he started fighting dudes his own size

even at his most brilliant, he was never close to being on Floyd's level, as some people touted him to be

There are better examples of real talent being wasted in modern boxing, such as Edwin Valero, Corrie Sanders, Ibeabuchi, etc

No, it wouldn't. The world (the West anyway) is very much over Floyd. Nobody is paying PPV money to see 45 yr old Floyd hug and crack jokes with crackhead Broner for 10 rounds. There are plenty of casuals and simpletons in this world, but those people just want to see the pressers. They're not paying customers.

Exactly. Broner isn't so much a waste of talent as he is a waste of skin cells.

"If" is doing so much work here that it decided to join a union.

"And if If was a fifth, we'd all be drunk."
