Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner: The Boxing Game Isn't The Same Without Me!

[JASON SHAW]

i agree adrien broner is a polarizing figure in boxing he generates alot interest when he does fight because people hate him so much. His post fight interviews are interesting because you never know what he's gonna say lol and he can sell a fight which is key... For all the idiotic comments, legal trouble and antics he does sparks interest in the sport while other fighters bore you to sleep with dull personalities. I don't agree with allot of the things he's done but win or lose i like watching him fight to see what happens.

very well said..... He gave spike tv their highest rated show in channel history and showtime their highest rated fight last year also..... Controversy sells...

[JASON SHAW]

that may be true, but i think that the real frustration with broner is that despite his accomplishments, he's fallen short of his own potential...and he's to blame for that.

But you're right...the rest of us typing away can only dream of having his career.

i agree he has shot himself in the foot more than a couple of times..... I thought he could have won the porter fight if he was focused but he didnt seem ready....

adrien broner is not suited for pbc primetime. People don't get to see his showboating antics, which are part of his attraction. I really don't know why he's being restricted when shows like wwf are far bolder.

yes thats why haymon put him on spike tv..... Spike loves him though because his fight was their most watched show in their channel history..... His fight on showtime was also the most watched for them that year.....

With proper dedication broner could be special because he definitely has the skill. His chin is good also. He just needs to cut the crap and get on with it. I think it all happened too fast for him and it went to his head.

Broner the boxing game is doing just fine without you, go raise your 14 kids and make sure your 3 pregnant side chicks are ok.

he is a 4 time world champion in 4 weight classes buddy... Thats more than what thousands of other fighters have ever accomplished......

And how many times did he successfully defend any of those belts he won?

If he could win all 4 titles in one weight division, that would be much more impressive.

so how many vacant belts did manny pacquiao win??? How many other hall of famers have vacant belts??? I dont think we want to go down that path lol.......

if we were talking about any of them, and the criticism was valid, I'd bring it up. but our topic of convo is Adrien Broner.

My point is not that he won a vacant belt. it's that, outside of having a great team able to line up the opportunities and Broner taking care of business in the ring, he never followed up w/ anything noteworthy.

broner's entertaining when he's on point, but lets keep it real. his "4 titles in 4 weight classes" is fool's gold.

well he doesnt have en expert cherrypicking team like manny does... If he did he would have fought an old legend and drained him at a catchweight like manny and arum did with oscar...... Broner went up to fight a big puncher like maidana and lost..... Then he went up again and fought a naturally bigger man in porter and lost again... So i cant bash him for not taking big risks.... He needs to hire roach so he can drain fighters for him and cherry pick them at the right time like roach does with manny and cotto sometimes....

Broner should stop worrying about these racist boxing fan boys and their hate..... He should act belligerent all the time just like conor mcquitter does....... Hate is what sells these days...... TREAT THE PRESS LIKE DIRT LIKE RHONDA DROWSY DOES AND GET HEADLINES....... THEN EXPOSE THE RACIST SCUM FANS FOR THEIR RACIST COMMENTS....

You are right! Hate sells. Bigotry sells. Racism sells. Just look at Donald Trump. He is now King of the World.

Does he have to win all 4 belts or can he get 2 in the board room and 2 in the ring?
