Seeing as people are convinced that Broner is the future and such a huge part of his persona is based on ripping off the Mayweather template - you know, acting like such an unbearable douche so people pay and hope to see you get beat.
Right now, we obviously can't tell whether Broner is gonna be a PPV star. I don't consider lots of people complaining about him being hyped/indulged signifying that Broner's plan to get under peoples skin so they tune in to see him lose, as working. Sometimes, people, boxing people, just like to complain when they see fighters getting pampered - JCC Jr, Canelo, Berto etc.
Let's just say the Broner thing works. And he becomes a PPV star.
Are we going to get a bunch of little punks faking it up and pretending they're Mayweather?
Does anyone find this prospect a little depressing?
I just feel like I'm getting my intelligence insulted with this sh-t. Some little twat running with lines Floyd used to say (apparently Broner is now Mr HBO) when he's only a few fights removed from going life and death with Ponde De Leon.
It all just feels like an arch manipulation. This guy comes in with this Floyd tribute act, and people have fallen for it.
And if it works for Broner, are we gonna get more of these ignorant clones?
Honestly, HBO better be really careful. Because what they're doing now is alienating existing fans, the guys who have put up with the nonsense for years.
