Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: I'd Match Burns With Overhyped Broner!

[-PBP-]

Burns fights in front of about 10,000 fans against mediocre opposition, against Broner he could probably sell 20,000 tickets (probably between £20ish to £200ish depending on where u wanna sit at a guess). But will make feck all for fighting on Boxnation. The boxnation payment will probably be the same wherever it is (again im guessing, ive no idea what deal Burns has with Warren). The gate will probably give him more money than tv.

So it would depend on the difference of what HBO are willing to pay for it being live in the states and whatever they pay for a tape delay broadcast for a fight held in the UK. The American tv money will **** all over the UK tv money for this one, and the UK gate will **** all over the American gate. It all depends on what HBO are willing to pay tbh.

That's your issue. There is no financial incentive for Warren to sacrifice one of his aces in a fight that he probably won't win. Instead he can stay home, milk his cow and fight mandatories.

How much did Burns want?

£400,000 is all

Adrien "The Problem" Broner is afraid of getting "lacied" by Burns in the UK.

It would be a more popular fight and a bigger draw in the UK, but Broner always demands home advantage (like Mayweather and Ward).

This is true. Actually Lacy was more over hyped than Broner though.

Frank will milk it any oppertunity he gets, however he has a deal with golden boy to show their fights on his channel. They could easily tell him that his contract wont be renewed if Broner doesnt get Burns, and maybe offer him a fight or two for a prospect or 2 to fight on undercards in america in return for Burns going to the states.

Warren will do what suits his long term interests. It wouldnt be that difficult for golden boy to make Warren accept a fight offer. Burns would probably fight anyone put in front of him. I reckon a deal will be done for May.

That's right Warren, tell the world about that Broner hypejob.

I can't believe this site actually printed this.

Wait, Broner wants to fight Burns. It's Burns who doesn't want to fight Broner.

So isn't Ricky Burns the hypejob?

This'd be ******ed - Broner and other GoldenBoy fighters would lose out on worldwide exposure. Sky are cutting back on their boxing commitments, so it's BoxNation or nothing.

broner is very talented but a little over hyped. people talking about how he can ko pac haha get real pac will ko broner easy. floyd beats pac because of his size and reach, broner is more suitable for pac. at 140 there will be real test for broner
