Comments Thread For: Arum: Broner is Mediocre, Not Competitive With Pacquiao

[deanrw]

Seriously, Broner is in a mess here. The calling out Pacquiao is by design. Al probably scripted it. Why you ask? Who can they afford to put Broner in with right now? Garcia? Nope. Both guys would want 3 million money and it is no PPV. Put him in with Matthysse? Nope, Broner would want his 3 million money still, or turn it down all together, and it still is not a PPV.

Al Haymon has caused GBP to be in a pickle. They created all these names, who got spoiled rotten with inflated paydays. Al signed them all and now they cannot create affordable dance partners among them. This is why you are starting to see the Herrera's and Bracero's being brought in.

Broner is nothing but an expensive hype job right now until he proves otherwise. Even mentioning this fight in a positive manner proves how delusional some of you people are here.

Browner was supposed to school Maidana and instead he got whooped and now your praising him for avoiding gfto? Browner is crap, let arum feed him to rios.

Floyd gets ****ed up by Maidana and now Maidana's a young lion? Floyd struggled against a strong but limited fighter, keep it real. Now khans win over an old, light punching collazo makes him a young lion too? I guess whoever Floyd fights is an instant HOFer for you.

I don't know who PAC faces next but his win over Bradley is better than any win over those "young lions" that you listed, except for the bigger GGG but that ain't happening for Floyd.

when did this happen ? on fight night I had it 7-5 Floyd, watching it over on Youtube I got it 9-3 Floyd. never did I see Floyd getting ''****ed up" though, explain that..

did I say Floyd's opponents were HOF or did you? my point is that people hold Floyd to a higher standard, they want him to fight everybody from 147 to 168, but this same level of expectation is not placed on Pacquiao, he can just keep recycling rematches with the same opponents and get praised for it. when was the last time you heard someone calling for Manny to face GGG? but I'm sure you've heard people say Floyd is ducking him..that's my point, I'm tired of Manny getting a pass and would like to see him take on new blood like Floyd has been doing.

Broner is garbage he cant fight all his fights have been setups against easy guys who have losing records he was put to the test against maidana and he couldnt pass it then he struggles against molina mayweather tried to avenge his loss and got his ass beat and like everyone saw lost to the same guy the only reason he got the W was because he lives in vegas there both over rated and got exposed by the same guy put broner in with matysee or thurman he would get destroyed again

I would like to see Maidana vs Whoweather, Rios (I know Top Rank but to show that °°°°ing African what's up) vs that °°°°ing African, Garcia vs Khan || (Garcia needs to move up now while things are heating up at Welterweight n up.) WAR MAIDANA WAR RIOS WAR GARCIA

Worst post in awhile. Maidana lost. Rios isnt world class...and I like garcia but man he looked bad. Plus youre racist and not very accurate either. Kudos.

It's just annoying how people don't see things in perspective. Broner is not a mediocre talent, he's actually quite talented, it's his technical faults that hold him nack

Agreed. Arum is obviously throwing cold water on any fight he can't promote 100%. GBP would have to co-promote the fight. As it has been said many times...if Broner were on Top Rank...he'd be selling the fight...

Broner is very talented and not a hype job..he ran into a guy who I thought beat Floyd close and deserved no worse than a draw...and Molina was a game fighter who has never been KOed...good comeback win for Broner..

Pacquiao would be a heavy favorite but I think it would be a very interesting fight...Broner has a much more fan-friendly style than Bradley or Marquez also...

I'd say Pacquiao by late stoppage.

P.S. I will boycott and stream Pacquiao v. Alvarado...I have no interest in ordering that fight..will be the first Pacquiao fight I stream ever...

[Snake4380]

Guerrero won two WBC eliminator fights and Ortiz vs Berto did 1.5 mil on HBO. Rios was beaten easily by Alvarado at 140 before he fought Manny.

You have to be a real Floyd-worshiper to try to act like Guerrero or Ortiz was a much better fight than Rios lol...I mean seriously both fights are tune-ups...only difference was Pacquiao was coming off a knockout loss against Juan Manuel PEDinimita Hulkquez...

Soto Karass beat Berto too...did he deserve a Floyd fight too? You would have justified that as well I imagine...if Floyd fought Rios right after he beat Alvarado you'd be hyping that fight too I'd imagine...

As long as the fighter is coming off a win even if it's against someone like an overrated Berto...it's justified to Floyd-worshipers

If Floyd fought Khan next, you'd be saying...he came off a win against Collazo though!

[Snake4380]

Ok so Broner is mediocre. So what? Has that ever stopped Arum from putting those kind of fighters in front of Pac? David Diaz? Rios? If the cold war ends up being over I'd love to see Pac smash on that clown.

Bob Arum is responsible for keeping boxing at a limited level of popularity with horrible undercards and in-house fighting. Yes, he's worse than GBP. Donaire was schooled by Rigo...was Donaire exposed also now? Is Donaire mediocre too? If Donaire was on GBP and lost to Rigo and Donaire wanted a fight with a Top Rank guy...Arum would say Donaire was exposed and is mediocre. Maidana just gave Floyd the second toughest fight of his career that's the guy who beat Broner smh @ this arrogant pos of Arum...

I wouldn't be upset if Arum died js...

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Thanks bob for stating the obvious...


I don't think there is a knowledgable boxing fan alive that thinks this would be a competitive fight

[SugaROIDS]

If Anyone here says that Broner have a Chance Against Pacquiao, sorry but you don't know **** of boxing and need to watch another sport

[downklown]

Another lame excuse by Arum.
Broner vs. Manny, outside of Floyd, would be his biggest PPV fight and no one can possibly argue that. You would have the most liked boxer in the world versus arguably the most hated boxer in the world right now.
Simply put, he doesn't wanna do business with Golden Boy/Haymon/Mayweather and that's the reason the fight will never happen.
