Adrien Broner: "My Next Fight is on Oct. 3, I'll Be Ready..... "

"..... to lose yet again."

Line those cans up there Bonehead. You're like a small Arreola, except with even more ignorance... PLUS the added bonus of a swolen ego out the wazoo. Cannot WAIT to see you lose again. No class, no discipline, no brains, no chance.

Omar Figueroa would be a decent opponent. Very winnable fight as well.

I know there's only so many weekends in a year, but PBC just had to have a card the same day as HBO? It feels like this is happening more often.

They are doing it on purpose...especially against Golden Boy. Wait until Canelo-Cotto...i bet PBC actually puts on a really good show on that date lol

This actually falls in line with Bob Arum's lawsuit against PBC. You are right this is not the first PBC card that has come out weeks or months after HBO already announced a fight on that same date. But in addition to PBC trying to compete with HBO dates they have tried to block and even steal venu's for fights. Specifically the Matthysee fight earlier this year which is sited in the PBC lawsuit it was supposed to be at the Stub hub. Golden Boy announced a long time ahead that their fight would be there on HBO and then Haymon used his leverage to book up multiple venus for that date knowing this including Stub hub. Forcing the Matthysee fight to be moved to a small New York casino because that was the only venu left available.

Now Golden Boy and HBO ended up having the last laugh as the Matthysee fight killed the Haymon fight in the TV Ratings. But it's clear what PBC is doing. For example HBO turned down the right to air the Lemieux vs Ndam fight because it did not want to compete with the PBC fight that was already scheduled to air that date. But PBC has been going out there way to compete with HBO.

Yup it's blatantly obvious it's on purpose. Also the BJ Flores fight that went head to head in the same city as the Kovalev HBO fight which was announced well before PBC. But again HBO had the last laugh destroying PBC in the ratings last week. PBC is willing to take huge million dollar loses to try and damage it's competition. They gave away free tickets to BJ fight to lure fans from attending the Kovalev fight. It won't be long till Main Events also sues PBC. Duva already made public comments that allude to that.

Broner should do well at 140 if he stays commited and don't gain so much weight in between fights and maybe fight about 4 to 5 times in a year for the next couple of years. He will also have a chance to win a title in another weight division. He dismissed Rios a couple years ago, but now thats not a bad fight at all and he should tailor made for him. With Garcia gone, he should be able to get a title. Im not sure if he'll be the lineal champ in that division, but he should definitely get a title.

Broner can't fight 4-5 times a year because he isn't dominant enough nor does he have the hunger and drive. Also, Rios is with TR and fights @147 so that fight can't happen.

they are going against lucas vs postol they better put him against a big dog or they'll get crushed by HBO

it's annoying really. what immature kids are running pbc, that they just have to pick up the same exact dates consistently? #savingboxingdoe

[Ravens Fan]

For some reason every time I hear Broner introduced as the former three division world champ I get nauseated and I feel as if I'm about to vomit.
