Realistacally what can Adrein Broner do at this point?

He just doesn't have what it takes to be on the pound for pound list. He needs to keep doing what he's been doing-- fight big(ish) names and keep collecting checks. People still like watching for the chance to see him loseComment

he will orobably make it to ppv as an opponent of spence, thurman, down the line. otherwise he will be on the networks and make six figures, maybe even seven, after expenses and taxes, no small amount of money.Comment

Really? I don't see him rising to that level. In fact, he seems on the decline to me.Comment

Naw homie. You see the last fight when they put him on screen and the crowd booed loud and he shot bthe double middle finger? you could hear laughs.
Broner is a clown but you know when he fights you get some sh-t talking and a good fight where there is blood, knockdowns, and good action for most of the fight.
He may not be a HOF'er but lets not take away that he is a top 5 TV draw right now.Comment

he's one of the most popular fighters on showtime, has been for years. he's a name, he's had good and bad press in the past. selling ppvs has a lot more to do with that than it does with how good a fighter is, or where he is in his career. noice how much more money floyd and pacquiao made past their primes? lots of guys don't even make it to ppv in their primes, especially when they lose. but late in their careers they get there as opponetns. berto, ortiz, etc.
has little to do with the arch of his career, he will be an opponent with name value. where else will you find them if spence makes it to ppv? the guy can still sell tickets and he's also a safe win for the A side.Comment

I don't agree, brother. His last three fights for instance: A split decision win, a UD loss and majority draw. The ignorant comments and rude gestures do nothing for his image. Gives brothers a bad look. And he lulls in practically every fight, which is one reason why he'll never rise up to PPV status.Naw homie. You see the last fight when they put him on screen and the crowd booed loud and he shot bthe double middle finger? you could hear laughs.

I don't know, man. I just don't see it. I mean, Spence beating up on Broner would be fun and benefit some because of the name. But PPV? Broner? Put it this way, he'd better not lose any more fights to anyone but the best, if he has any PPV aspirations. And they'd better be good fights too, not whippings of him.he's one of the most popular fighters on showtime, has been for years. he's a name, he's had good and bad press in the past. selling ppvs has a lot more to do with that than it does with how good a fighter is, or where he is in his career. noice how much more money floyd and pacquiao made past their primes? lots of guys don't even make it to ppv in their primes, especially when they lose. but late in their careers they get there as opponetns. berto, ortiz, etc.
