    Well, you can't blame the guy for marketing himself and trying to maximize his earning potential. These guys have a very small window of opportunity to make the amount of money that is available to them to earn as championship level fighters.
    They should also keep it real and "AB view" and "Billionaire" is more BS from AB. That's my point. He is not ready for one of his statements and the other statement is never going to happen.

      Who said anything about it being about accomplishments? Beating those guys was making him popular in the boxing world. Not the world star world. You are new to all this arnt you?

        Well personally, I don't put a lotta stock in what fighters say. They can say whatever they want. But at days end, the only thing that matters is what happens in the ring.

          As long as it matches what they say, otherwise, they need a good reality check and taken down a peg or two if they cant back it up. AB View was BS. I judge them by character and what they do in the ring. Broner got his first wake up call he aint no PPV star yet. And tonight he had the nerve to say people are getting a PPV for free. More BS.

            Really. Exactly who has Zou Shiming beaten professionally that made him popular enough to put 60k asses in seats to see a 6rd fight?

                Well, that's just a difference between you and I sir. I don't really give a rat's ass what fighters say. Hell, most of the time I don't even watch postfight interviews. I don't care what they say or do when they're not in the boxing ring. The way I look at it. If his goal is to become a billionare and he fails, and only becomes a millionare he's still done quite well for himself.

                As for the "wake up call." He was just on Showtime about 5mins ago and seemed fine to me. My guess is as long as the check clears, he really doesn't give a ****. Like I said previously. He likely now has a slightly bigger guarantee. and the reality is, he wasn't gonna get much from the PPV upside to begin with.

                    On Showtime, it was just more BS from AB cause he tried to call it a free PPV. He is full of crap. That's my point and that's been my point.
