did you hear the MIKEY VS BRONER news? fighthype said its in the works! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wobkb9rIsA

??? Isn't Broner at least 2-3 weight classes higher???

Good fight for Mikey. LOL not so much for Broner. Mikey making some great decisions on his comeback. He cleared his head & thought long game like a mfer in his time off I bet.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mikey takes Broner out which is gonna look really good & probably take Mikey to the highest popularity level of his career.

Broker just went to jail

Then Bob Arum should do what Golden Boy Promotions did sign a network deal with a company. So Haymon laid out the blue print and Oscar followed.

So should Arum. Get all that talent TV exposure. Don't wait on HBO or Showtime.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

F#ck yea. War Arum!!!!!!!

I legit think Arum is talking to new players in the boxing viewing market based on some sh^t Steve Kim has been hinting at for a few weeks now as we speak.

I won't be the least bit surprised if Arum is talking to some US Box Nation type outfit or he's talking to players in the streaming world like Amazon, Netflix, FB, etc. Looking forward to finding out exactly what's going on.

will be dope, boxing with amazon prime! hell yea.

No clue whatcha mean saying "this is what happens when you sign with Haymon".

But Haymon for sure isn't done with Broner even if he becomes a top 20ish guy with a name (& you could probably argue thats what he basically & how he fights like already despite most ranking him higher still). Haymon deals with all kinds of cats at all levels of the game. One the guys he signed as an amateur lost a fight this weekend so kid is 4-1 now, but I guarantee you Haymon won't drop him or be done with him either unless that dude specifically wants to be done. Haymon just doesn't seem to operate like that.

Mikey has been on a roll since he signed a adviser contract with haymon.... thats what i mean... Haymon got mikey the wbc fight against his champion zlaticanin and now he is giving mikey a chance to fight a big star.... thats what i mean.... Haymon is replacing broner with TANK thats why they are giving tank such a big push... Under armour has already signed tank also.... Broner wont get any big paydays after this fight if he loses.... GUARANTEED....

Broner has been 140ish for his last few fights although his last one was at WW. Mikey just won a title at 135 & his first comeback fight was at 138. So they aren't very far apart.

I could for sure see them fighting at 140-143ish or maybe even 147 if Mikey is just doing it for a one time thing, for now, with intentions of gaining a belt at 140 still.

NO he can make 140-142 so im guessing mikey said he is cool with that... mikey who is 135 was calling out Thurman a few months ago so this is a good fight

Boxing needs a central organization thats thinking about & pushing forward the sport of boxing not any particular fighter.

Yes, much like professional tennis. The governing body becomes the entity that deals with broadcasters; and offers promotional companies the opportunity to make money by bidding on specific fights. It sets universal rules, ranks athletes, and determines matchups that ensure the best boxers become recognized champions.

LOL replacing? Broner has replaced himself already as far as boxing goes. Haymon didn't do anything. If Broner gets serious about boxing at some point then that'll be the difference in him struggling with the Grandos type cats & perhaps beating the next Porter or Maidana level opponent he fights. Haymon is a manager not a promoter. He's not thinking of replacing anyone. He's getting cats the type of fights they want & giving them their options & likely saying this one or that one is the best option.

Promoters replace mfers like Arum is trying to get Crawford to do with Manny.
