Uggh, 1st it was Cryan Ryan and now Broner. I sure hope this doesn’t become a trend.

I was thinking the same thing, is this the new go to excuse to get out of a fight, or any other scheduled event in our lives?
I sure hope not, back in the day claiming mental health issue's was the last thing that they would want the public to know about.
If in fact these athlete's, or anyone else for that matter are truly experiencing psychological issue's then by all means they should withdraw.
Yet as recent as last week Broner was talking about fighting Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, and rematching Marcos 'El Chino' Maidana.
Speaking for myself I'm not a Broner fan, and find his (non)fighting style boring, he's just not a top level fighter anymore.
He's made money in the sport, and won championship's, but still decided to be a criminal committing, and being charged with various act's, sexual battery of a women (misdemeanor), beating a man with his fist (assault), failure to appear in court, contempt of court, probation violation, trespassing (misdemeanor), DUI in Miami, outstanding warrant, choking a waitress (misdemeanor assault), he's also hinted about suicide on his Instagram account.
This guy is no role model, he is definitely a criminal recidivist, and aren't all criminal's psychologically impaired to one extent or another.

Haymon, please stop giving this oxygen thief opportunities. He should be required to pay back all the oxygen he has ever wasted with interest

It's annoying as he's letting down a lot of people. Lots of people still like him and would love to see him sort his **** out. He's treating the boxing fan with a lack of respect.

This is code for I'm 160 at the moment and can't make the weight....

Ahhhh mental health. The new “go-to” when things aren’t going your way. Victimhood or faux victimhood is like currency in current society

Unfortunately this appears to be the case in this current atmosphere of woe is me, (self pity).
The irony of the whole thing is that it's the most arrogant braggarts, bullies, and loud mouths, who want to be understood, and crave that sympathy at the end of the day.
It really is nut's if you really sit down, and think about it, but we shouldn't waste our time contemplating this new phenomenon, there are plenty of medical profession's for that.

Um, pretty sure Mike said "I don't know, I might just fade into Bolivian."

I think you’re right.

Adrien “The Mental Problem” Broner.

That was actually a good revision of his chosen ring moniker.
