    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.
    Yeah I don't want to get too precious about it or see the 'edge' taken out of boxing either. There's a part of me that quite enjoys some of the Broner histrionics. I do find his ring walks entertaining too.

    I guess I like to see fighters show a basic level of respect for each other and the sport at the end of the fight. That's what annoyed me on this occasion. But, as above, don't want to get precious about it.

      Yeah, if you're looking for Broner to show some respect for the sport, his opponent, or anyone other than Al Haymon, you are sh-t outta luck. LOL!!!

        Broner is a goof... and? Is this news to anyone? Is it hurting you? The guy is barely even relevant. Get him in there with Victor Ortiz or perhaps dig up Zab Judah. Those are about the right fights for AB at this point

He still received a ton of racial hatred, and was robbed by a bunch of _____ anyway.....So there is no ideal champion, just a bunch of old myths and tall tales, to make people feel a certain way. Like a ***ish white guy born of arabs about 2000 years ago.

                    Are you related to bonehead? Have you done a article search on Louis? That is utter horse**** what you spewing. There are so many news articles, books, documentaries, and accounts from boxing historians. Gtfo with your nonsense. The hell with ppv. This man fought in ww2, took place in the most social and historic bout ever during the height of the **** regime. Seriously how old are you?

                      AB is a fcking idiot, but at least he actively tries to promote himself and his fights unlike the rest of al haymons stock of useless bums who can't sell a fight for **** but think of themselves as the "a-side" fighter.
