[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Paulie won't be feather fisted against a smaller guy his punches still hurt he just doesn't have ko power

[Mr. Philadel]

WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7KOs) is hearing that Adrien Broner (26-0, 22KOs) is a little hesitant to take the fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which is the champion's hometown. Golden Boy Promotions is trying to finalize the fight for June 22 on HBO. Broner, the WBC's lightweight champion, would move up by two weight divisions.

is it Broner is scared to fight in NY or Paulie is scared to fight outside NY?!?...you can look at it either way....AC is cool...the fight doesn't have to be in NY

[Catrin]

Anybody would be hesitant to fight YOU in NY! After what they did to Cano and take his victory after he dominated paulie with a nasty cut for almost the entire fight!!! That was Canos victory but NY commission gave paulie that freebie!
Choose your words carefully... VIVA MEXICO CABRONES

[Catrin]

And for the record regardless of venue Broner will starch paulie!
Viva Mexico Cabrones! Mikey garcia vs broner!!

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Yeah so Broner is ducking a guy with feather gloves?
Stop.....

It has to be that Broner wants more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

When will people learn that fighters are not scared. Thats what they do for a living.
This is a ploy to get more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If its true, that's a very good possibility. Of course the haters would rather believe he's scared over common sense. hehe

Pauline's still gonna get embarrassed.
Broner TKo 11th

I don't know how in the world Broner has any leverage in that negotiation..seriously. I'm not saying Paulie is a big draw or that much of a name but he's the champion, you have never fought at the division and you are trying to take the easiest belt available at the weight. At some point you have to conceed the leverage and stop acting like you have Floyd's star power. Broner fights in Atlantic City for the love of god..what's so hard about crossing two short bridges to another arena? Although going to the cards Malignaggi would hold a favorable upper hand as the champ and hometown star but if you are worried about that aspect you shouldn't be fighting him.

NY is a good place for this fight IMO. Contrary to some people, I actually think this is an OK fight. Malignaggi isn't the biggest welterweight but I believe his style can pose problems for Broner since I believe that Broner's feet are quite static, Malignaggi's movement might keep Broner resetting and cause him problems.

No I think Broner is hearing that this is a **** fight and nobody wants to see it.
He needs to face Burns, or Vasques or go to 140.

Huh? Paulie left the country in order to get that strap. You go to the CHAMPS backyard.
