When Broner first lost to Maidana the powers that be at GBP were quick to **** on the idea of a rematch because they knew (like everyone else) that it was a terrible idea.
GBP also thought that Amir Khan would be floated as an opponent to Floyd and that boxing fans would be happy to hear it. They never imagined that Maidana would not only beat Broner, but endear himself to fans in a way that Khan never will.
Now that GBP has floated the Khan fight and fans have voiced their displeasure and made clear a preference for seeing Maidana get the opportunity they are suddenly all about Adrien Broner fighting Marcos Maidana again ASAP.
What happened here is simple:
GBP and Broner have decided they can save face by signing for the Maidana fight which also favors their business interests in that it clears the way for announcing Floyd-Khan with the built in excuse that Maidana was out of reach because of his rematch with AB.
GBP and Broner agree up front that Broner signs the fight to c0ckblock Maidana with the intent of simply pulling out with a back injury in a months time.
GBP of course promises Broner that if he does this for them they reward him with a another nice undeserved payday.
