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.
    Yup, 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.

      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.

        I've always been a fan of broner. He can be a clown sometimes but he's good for boxing and he is a True Warrior. Thanks for sharing jack.

          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.

Plus giving a grand to a homeless dude is stupid. Most homeless people are in the position they are through their own faults and will just waste the money in any case.

              I agree with this.

              Broner is still a bytch.

                Well it's still a good stunt. That man can turn his life around if he's wise enough to do so. He can get a proper shower, he can shave, buy new clothes, rent a room, go to a job interview, get a job if he really wants to turn things around.

                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.

                  Good post. Who cares if it was for publicity he just gave that guy a second chance to get his life back on track, its upto him now.

                      Broner is an idiot but you have to remember that he's just a kid who has got too much money far too soon.

                      I'd expect him to become more humble & less of a jerk when he eventually grows up.
