Comments Thread For: Broner-Theophane Trends Upward, Second-Most Watched of '16

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Whether boxing fans love him, hate him or are just drawn in by the sideshow factor, Adrien Broner has re-emerged as a bonafide draw. Final ratings data for the April 1 edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike TV saw a positive - and expected - trend upward, placing Broner's 9th round knockout of Ashley Theohpane as the second-most watched cable TV fight of 2016. The main event - which played to a sold-out crowd at the D.C. Armory in Washington D.C. - boasted a final average of 1.141 million viewers, peaking at 1.3 million viewers, Spike TV spokesperson David Schwarz informed BoxingScene.com on Wednesday.

That boy sold out DC and pulls in big TV numbers. Love him or hate him, you want to watch him. Still not a fan though. Crazy thing is I am not sure a few more losses will change his appeal because he is pretty damn entertaining.

Broner will always be relevant because he has personality.

You can have all the skills in the world but controversy and personality puts butts in the seats and eyes on the tube.

If you want to be a star in boxing, slap a police man and **** a Kardashian sister.

Adrien "Money" Broner

Broner deserves credit. He fought a garbage opponent and still got good ratings. This is exactly why Haymon won't feed him to the wolves.

i can't wait till he catches another fade, preferably by a latino.

That ain't gonna happen anytime soon amigo. Broner has already Mexicuted all the relevant foes around his weight class.

If he was still undefeated he'd be headlining PPV's by now. Chino derailed that. Fck that fat argentinian prick

Maybe Broner is a lot more like Mayweather than he gets credit for.

As in, people will tune in hoping that he gets KTFO.

He's playing the heel role quite well.
