Comments Thread For: Broner vs. Theophane Formally Announced By PBC, April 1 in D.C.

Cash out on Theophane, fulfil his obligations as a promoter by getting him a world title shot.

A decent payday for Lil' bro.

Plus, if Theophane does the unthinkable and wins he's got another world champion made to his name.

Floyd can't really lose here.

Well I understand the politics surrounding it, but I guess its the way I worded my post

What I wanted to know is where the casual interest is in this fight, or even the hardcore interest in the matchup itself? Essentially, you have top 10 (7 by TBRB) Broner facing a completely unranked opponent. I guess its just the way i've perceived it, as to me it looks like they're claiming it as a fight of significance, when it clearly isn't

Btw, I love how the WBA ranks him no.15. A guy who hasn't fought at 140 for 3 years. The organisation of integrity

Oh yeah, from that standpoint Theophane defintely does not deserve a title shot.

Man, all the sanctioning bodies seem to just be getting worse and worse as the years go by. Crazy rankings across every one of them.

You can't lose if you don't watch it.

Lame fight.

One of the greatest cities in the world and this is how boxing repays it?

Broner and Spike TV is perfect and BET is better

Broner has no boxing career and is despised in all of boxing. Spike TV is made for Broner.

This is a horrible fight. Broner really needs to step up and fight a contender at 140. Very disappointing.

Oh yeah The Problem baby! Big 2K16 for Broner, Theophane can fight so looking forward to this, some big names at 140 for Broner, Crawford or Postol unifications, Provodnikov oh yeah!
