What a piece of **** broner is, yeah i know its nothing new, but it still boggles my mind people think ots cool to act like a fcking ******.

Alas, our second meeting goes a whole lot like the first.

“No interviews unless it’s me AND Robert!” Broner declares this time around.

I don’t understand what his words mean right away, but eventually determine that Broner is now demanding that I agree to devote half of any article I write to Robert Easter, who fights for About Billions, Broner’s fledgling promotion company. I then confess to Broner that I’ve never heard of Easter, whom I learn from subsequent Googling is an undefeated but little-known lightweight, and that because of my ignorance I can’t promise that I’ll write anything about him. Easter is sitting nearby and seems very nice and wholly embarrassed by being roped into the boss’s **** act, which kicks into another gear after my confession.

“Go!” he says, waving his hand toward the exit. “Go! Brendan, take him out!”

I’m in awe all over again. A flack for PBC, the powerhouse outfit run by current fight game kingpin Al Haymon and the main promoter of the Broner vs. Theophane fight, comes over to offer help after seeing me leave the locker room. It turns out that she was tasked to the gym after getting wind of Broner’s “No interviews!” shenanigans earlier in the day. I tell her that I’ve been tossed from the locker room, and she tells me she’ll get him back on board. Within minutes, I’m told that Broner is now stipulating that he’ll talk if I “ask one question” of Easter, though his demand that Easter get any mention in the story has been dropped. Sure, I say, and I approach Broner one last time.

“Exclusive!” Broner says. “You know you’re getting an exclusive?”

I spend the next half-hour talking to him about changing weight classes and feuding with Mayweather and blah blah blah. When it’s over, I’m still thinking Van Morrison and the roadie, and that maybe Adrien Broner acts like this because even he now knows that everything else about Adrien Broner is far less fascinating than what a **** he is.

Ain't that the damn truth.

Once you look past the personas of guys like Mayweather and Broner you realize there just average ****** trash, completely incapable of saying anything intelligent, or worth listening to.

This is why athletes don't talk to the media. 30-minute interview and zero quotes. No chance to defend himself. https://t.co/rMVmIF8vls

@MikeCoppinger Zero insight from interview, all while wasting reader's time in his own desperate efforts to make himself part of the story

both of those writers are pro PBC, being paid by PBC. These guys will defend PBC to the end.

I don't even know what there complaining about anyway.

When has broner ever gave us insight or quotes that weren't just ignorant bs?

The deadsoin writer didn't waste our time quoting his bs, instead he called him out for being a complete unprofessional piece of **** who has nothing to say. I liked the article.

Mike didn't get his job at the newspaper until PBC became a big advertiser for them.

Newspapers don't cover boxing anymore. He won't have a job without that PBC advertising $. Of course he is pro PBC, PBC wouldn't advertise with someone who wasn't pro PBC.

Haymon has been notorious for shutting out all media who went against him.

the word PBC was said one time in the entire article. Mike just said its a bs article, its about broner not pbc..

So mike said article isnt professional hes defending pbc.. but when he said enough of AB you still somehow equate that to being pro pbc lol ok
