Won't lie, that gave me goosebumps. I have a soft spot in my heart for people in need of basic things and animals. It softens me up in a heartbeat. Nice gesture from Broner even though I'm not a fan of recording and sharing these type of things though. You do it from the heart to help, not to get recognition for it.

Yeah, maybe he did it for a little recognition, but he still did it. He's human, it had to feel good and you could see it did. Maybe it opened his eyes a little in regard to wasting money.

Most homeless people are in the position they are through their own faults and will just waste the money in any case.Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostDon't tell me you suckers are falling for this. This was the most inexpensive PR he could have bought himself. I've been involved in numerous charitable fundraisers over the years for orgs like Doctors Without Borders and other global efforts and I'll tell you first hand, when people truly do a deed from the goodness of their heart, they don't do it on camera and make sure it's posted on YouTube. Most of the big donations we've received were very discreet. This is a stunt intended to manipulate your feelings about AB. I'd even venture to guess that his manager put him up to it.Originally posted by Anderson Silva View PostYup, plus the fact he post's it on his twitter just for exposure. What a shallow person, but he gets the dumb asses to believe it.
I agree with this.
Broner is still a bytch.

I didn't 'fall' for this and I still don't like Broner at all, but that was a good act of his and certainly showed me that there's a good side to him sometimes.
