Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Hope One Day to Hand The Torch to Broner

What torch?

Certainly not the P4P crown, Ward either already has it, or is about to.

Floyd just jinxed him. He done passed the torch to Berto and Alexander before.

He passed the torch to them, it was too hot for them to handle, they dropped it, Floyd picked it up and is passing it yet again with the optimism that Broner can be the torch bearer.

IMHO Broner at this stage of his career has shown far more promise, excitement and potential than Berto or Alexander ever has.

The PPV torch I believe. Would you not agree that Broner will be a bigger PPV draw and attraction than Ward?

Canelo will defeat Money in the future . Broner can get it too, he will avoid him tho

Floyd = Rocky Balboa
Broner = Tommy Gunn

Ward stinks the place out every time he's out there. Broner entertains. Broner > Ward. And he's 23.

Broner fights like Floyd has recently but nothing like Floyd did back in his 130-135 days...

Even now Floyd doesn't get hit as much as Broner does. I think Broner will be in much better fights than Floyd though and even though he'll probably take losses and have a shorter career at the very top, he's going to make up for it with entertainment value in the ring.

Doesn't matter, he's one of the most dominant fighters in the sport today. A lot of people argue he's the best boxer on the planet, no matter how popular he is.

I'm interested to see how Broner can pull of Mayweather-style PPV's without a network which calls him the P4P king of the sport. HBO did that with Pac and Mayweather, and so you had all the celebrities etc going to their fights, as any celebrity fight fan wants to be seen as the fights of the best in the sport. Can you really achieve Mayweather's level of popularity without being the best in the sport? I honestly don't think so.

HBO could get behind Ward and make him popular, quite easily. Not a superstar, but if they propel the idea hes the best in the sport, and get him fights in LV, people will go watch him. And with Floyd currently signed with Showtime, they may try to in the near future
