    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 ******. 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.
