Adrien Broner gives a homeless man $1000.

[Evol]

Could it be that he was simply stunned by what seemed like an unreal gift?

yeah but the video kept rolling and he went right back to standing there holding the sign LOL.. dude was not an actual "homeless"..

I'm surprised people are so easily swayed by this. He clearly did it for one reason only...PR. The camera was actually turned on specifically to record this. Adrien has realised his 'bad boy' schtick is no longer doing him any favours and he needs to repair his image. If he was truly charitable it would be a rumour going around that he gave a bum $1000. In this case its more like, 'Hey dude, Imma give this bum a grand. Get the camera out and make sure you put it on youtube.' That isnt real charity, it's a PR investment. smh

It could be viewed as both though, in this case.

where im at theres a lot of these people now.. and they know which area to post up at too.. u'll see atleast 4 of them at a stop light in a intersection across from eachother holding up signs. and its always in a nice area and u barely even see actual homeless with dirty clothes, etc. these guys have sun glasses on a hat a backpack and a bottle of water LOL..

Its hard not to be impressed by this. You can moan all you like that he did it for the benefit of the cameras, but I'd rather see film of him being a good dude than film of him being a bellend on WSHH. That money could help this guy get his life back together and thats a big deal. Well done Boner!

That's your opinion but not a fact. I don't see him going right back holding up his sign in that vid. It's more like he's standing there in disbelief of what just happened. He doesn't even know what to do with himself, the experience is that surreal.

or it can ruin his life even more.. 1g can buy u a lot of crack. i dont resally feel sorry for people standind at the corner of an intersection holding up a "please help sign".. if u're capable of doing that then go get ur ass a job!! aint nobody said u have to go apply for a office job, theres plenty of labor type work that they can still do.

and u dont either. so im assuming, and so are u LOL. what we do see is that he didnt walk away from the middle of the streets like a normal person would have if someone handed me a grand.

I am defo a fan of Broner, he is one of the most entertaining fighters in the sport today

im from southern california and there is a lot of illegal immigrants here but u dont see them standing at the corner holding up a please help sign.. they are out looking for labor type work, standing outside of home depo looking for any type of work. i can respect that more than the lazy people that just wanna stand there and hold up a sign.

If that homeless dude is a hardcore drug addict thats willing to rob and steal to buy drugs than Broner giving him money is a good short term solution

I've seen The Wire and dudes that are junkies will rob you for anything that they can trade or pawn for drugs
