    Why does everyone keep expecting him to change?? And Everytime he does something dumb people act so surprised!! I don't understand how after he's been doing this for years people keep expecting him to be a role model for their kids to look up to!! Don't watch him fight trust me there are better fighters to follow.

      I agree we don't need all that to enjoy the actual fight.

      That said, when you are a fighter that is 25-0 with 22 KOs in fights that have taken place at 135 pounds or lighter, but 8-3-1 with 2 KO victories at the higher weight classes (per Forbes article) then you have to do something to get people to watch.

      I don't think anyone would buy "quiet greatness" from Broner because he isn't great.

        You know he's gonna clown in the buildup so you watch. You know the entrance is going to be flashy so you watch. You know post fight will be vintage clown ignorance so you watch.

        I submit the only part of a Broner fight you don't need to watch is the 1st 3 rounds where he barely punches. After that, you know he's gonna fight like hell to try and win and you know he wont quit. He is a mediocre fighter above 130 that seems to realize this and generates buzz in other ways.

        Sure, we all wish he did it in a different way but he isn't good enough that he will attract the fans that are drawn to "quiet greatness".
        serious hardcore boxing fans care about that kind of crap? go watch the wwe

            If I’m keeping track of his comments correctly, he offended every civil rights leader, gays, Mexicans, used foul language repeatedly, disrespected his elders, disrespected his trainer, and he made me look up what a Coney is. This guy is a national treasure. Either he intentionally does this for people to show up and see him knocked silly like Maidana did or he needs real help. He isnt box office, he is an a..hole! He makes me watch though

              Broner is nothing but a hype, all the fans that like the WWE ***** are behind him. Broner has never being an elite fighter, he creates excitement for his tactics inside and out side the ring. Vargas and him are on the same level, this is why it was a good fight. Broner never was this way against Maidana, Porter or Mikey. He knows he has only a good run, and that is against mid level boxers. We know it, and he knows it!

                I wonder which banned regular this account belongs to? I watch WWE also.

                As for being a hardcore fan, a hardcore fan knows the most important thing in the sport is to get people to watch and put asses in the seats. If you can't sell seats/ppvs or attract viewers, how is the sport helped?

                  I'm not excusing Broners behavior but numbers don't lie. His methods yield results which is why he continues headlining and making M's without a signature win on his resume.
                  You’re absolutely right regarding Broner. He’s an idiot. You either like him or hate him but you tune in.

                    Their have been boxers, forever, using this tactic to garner attention which equals more money. But NOW its outrageous, Connor does it and its exciting.....AB does it better and its awful? He made 1 million dollars for this fight, and he's supposed to listen to the people that hate him? So HOW is the IDEAL boxer supposed to act? He's supposed to be HUMBLE? GTFO Boxers arent humble and successful. He has social media, which gives him tons of promotion, and attention. STOP ALL THE CRYING AND WHINING, this is the "hurt business" and all of you nancies are crying about how a specific boxer wont ACT like some idea you have in your head of what a professional boxer acts like, but numbers dont lie (ratings/money). He's doing something right, I bet his ratings are higher than the AJ vs Parker fight. So who is a boxer supposed to model themselves after? Because WARd epitomizes CLASS, and you see how people on this very board talk badly about him

                      How is everyone overlooking vargas' back acne? He had no acne when he fought Pacquiao and now it looks like a 2nd puberty
