Light Speed Pac is a quiet humble dude and his ppv numbers rival Floyd's. Cotto is a quiet humble dude = 3rd biggest ppv draw in america.
Regardless of what you think about the way he markets himself, this kid has tremendous talent when you watch him fight.
If you like the sweet science or if you like KO's, you get both with Broner.

I think some forget this is a sport and a business. The Problem Team is basically aware that they have a talented guy with personality and a gimmick. They are also aware that he fights like Mayweather.
The Team is focusing on doing everything they can to make the most money out of an unforgiving sport as the possibly can. I don't think Broner is ******, he knows what he's doing too.
This IS "prize"fighting...

But if Ali was never struck with his disease, the odds of Ali going against Floyd is far higher then him 'endorsing' Floyd.
Ali hated non Heavyweights, read Sugar Ray's book and what Ali said to him and about him
'stfu you just a god damn middleweight'. Ali probably feel sick to his stomach that Floyd a god damn midget is the cash cow instead of an elite heavyweight fighter like himself.
BTW
People hated Ali as well. Anybody that receives a certain amount of love receives a similar amount of hate even Pacman.

I just am honestly not the impressed by Broner yet. If he can beat Gamboa I'll become a huge believer.

Ali was great because he was black first, I'm not pumping the fist right now but be honest with yourself. Also he was the king of offensive **** talk and his **** talk was racist half of the time. Considering the world he lived in it's hard to blame him but FLoyd or Broner never crossed the line half way as far as Ali did.

In case you don't understand what a "3.4" TV rating is. That's 3.4 MILLION viewers.
