Comments Thread For: Merchant Not Buying Broner's Talk of Facing Fan's Choice

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a fight that was a little tougher than most expected, Adrien Broner won a split-decision over Paulie Malignaggi inside of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday night, becoming successful in his bid to become a three-division world champion at the age of 23.

Due to a spirited effort from Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s), who never seemed to stop moving and punching in bunches despite his lack of pop, Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) appeared to be deadlocked with the Brooklyn native over the first half of the fight. As the action wore on, Broner’s precise and more powerful punches began to find their mark as he marched towards victory. [Click Here To Read More]

Yeah there is no way I bet al haymon is putting him in time out for making such a ridiculous statement.

[NELSONMELENDEZ2]

[Hougigo]

anyone find it a little su****ious that manny isnt on the list ??!!! broner ducking just like his hero

[MR PUNCHOUT]

It would be funny as hell if he really went through with it!

[chiguy91]

no one's buying that shit, especially not haymon and schaefer. there's no way they let him fight who the fans want. anyways, schaefer was already talking about broner/maidana last night at the post press conference. broner/maidana is a great fight, so i don't think people will complain if that gets made (i know i wouldn't). a guerrero fight would be a good one as well imo. hopefully they just put broner in with a good competitive WW now that's he a titleholder.

Larry the Don has spoken

Broner and his team will say Matthysse priced himself out or some other excuse
