Comments Thread For: Mayweather Tried To Warn Broner About Tougher Fights

[M4RK]

Headline should read 'tried to teach him how to duck'

Floyd grew up, that's what happened. I think he regrets playing the bad guy role because if he would have been more liked, I think he would have crossed over to commercial fame and success.

AB is a moron, you can't teach a ****** mother ***er anything. Broner has some tough fights ahead of him and he better stop being a rapper and other **** and concentrate on boxing. There's some killers at 140-147 that will take his head off.

Mayweather actually had to be the bad guy because it sells. He doesn't regret it, he appreciates the boos and negative energy, the more hatred he gets the more money.

Canelo Alvarez is following suit and he was so dominating in his match he has gained a lot of hatred. More hatred equals more money... That's why Adrien Broner paycheck is large every fight.

Should tell that shit to one middleweight ultimate can crushing machine who's been fighting not even D and C level opponents but complete stiffs.

Give Broner the opportunity to fight some of these so called A level fighters!! Pac, Bradley or Marquez or Garcia !! Brandon Rios vs Broner !!!

Regardless of what people say..Floyd has had a great career regardless of who he has or hasn't fought...A. Broner beat a few fighters and was thrusted into Boxings upperclass over night...I think the lost is going to be great for his career...Dude like AB has to see it for himself...No one can tell him a thing, his ego is bigger than him...Maidana, I hope was a wake up call for him because regardless of his attitude...I would like to see him in more World Class Fights..The kid is entertaining.

In the interview I saw before the fight, Floyd also said he tried to explain to Broner that he has to decide whether or night he's going to be a boxer, a rapper or something else, but if he's a boxer, he has to stay in shape and leave all the other extracurricular activities alone. Good advice from an old vet. I think Broner got the shine way too soon and it went to his head, whereas Mayweather didn't become a household name in my opinion until after he fought and beat Oscar. Broner became known and had a huge fanbase before having a defining fight. For years, my son who is 21 years old, would only watch Mayweather and Pac fights. Other than that, he doesn't really watch boxing. In the past couple years, he started watching Broner and keeping up with him on his Twitter account. It's because Broner marketed himself as the next big thing and had a bunch of swag that the younger generation appeals to. Me personally, I like a bunch of nonsense in sports so it doesn't offend me at all, but I can watch a guy like Broner in a couple fights and say he's good, but not great or he can win titles at 130 and 135 and maybe 140, but avoid 147 or carefully pick your opponents at 147 until you grow into that class. Broner still has a chance to make a good name for himself, but he better start listening to the old vet and his trainer because another loss and won't be getting those huge paydays anymore. He's like one or two losses from being the main event on Friday Night Fights.

What the hell are you talking about he? He doesn't regret ****, he is making $30m+ guaranteed per fight against guys who have lost to fighters like Devon Alexander and Orlando Salido. Yeah, there's moments of maturity which make you briefly consider whether it's even worth disliking him anymore.

But he still talks ****** **** all over the place. Maybe even more so now, because his ego and greed are out of control.

You don't get points for hugging or for faking you been hit in the ball and crawling around the canvas howling.

Hopkins got out classed.

Petitions real boxing fans will watch regardless of the outcome of his fights
Floyd thanks you....when you post something like this you only allowing his stock to rise more and more ,The Money Team Thanks You ******.: bottle:

[umop-ap!sdn]

No of course not, Pacquiao gets complete credit for all of those fights.

Mosley was back in his prime when Pacquiao fought him.

Hatton was the most feared man in boxing that Floyd had ran from all night.

Cotto was comfortable at the CW although he says he was comfortable at 154 that he fought Mayweather at.

Bahahahahaaha wtf are you talking about. How do you go BACK to your PRIME????? Sugar Shane was not Sugar of old, he hasn't been the same sinse the infamous headbut in the first Vernon Forrest fight. It's like seeing his own blood for the first time changed the way he fought. The fact that the headbut buzzed him and he almost got KTFO right after didn't help either im sure. Stop reaching though. Pacman did not fight Mosley of old, Mosley of old would K.O. Pacquiao. Mosley of old was fkn magical man. Don't disrespect Sugar!!!

Well, well, a rare moment of frankness without the usual immature act.
