    The only reason he isn't finished is because he's popular. Take that away, and he wouldn't be getting any big fights in the future.

    But you're right. He'll get some wins over a few top 15/20 guys, talk a bunch of sh.t, and fight Amir Khan for another pay day.

      We're slowly transitioning to an age where social media impact has a presence on contracts and opportunities. Similar to the fashion world where all these 'supermodels' are mostly given victoria secret spots because they have 10mm followers.

        Also like some else said it’s not like broner is getting pulverized he just not throwing enough and is getting out worked.

          His beatdowns haven't even been entertaining or interesting since Maidana anyhow. I really don't care to see him at the elite level again but against B level guys he can make some interesting fights.
          I'd rank Zab above this dude. It's actually disrespectful to Zab to mention this guy in the same sentence

            I agree. Seldom do we see someone change that around if they've done it for a few fights though. It happens, but rarely.

              A reality show wouldn't be a bad idea for him to earn some cash. But that would almost definitely cost him his freedom. When Broner is trying to impress people out of the ring, he is bad at it.

                Yeah he will always talk his way into big fights...and the guy is only 29. He won't get away any time soon unless he gets locked up or something.

                  Nah it's more than 'just not throwing enough'...he got outclassed vs Mikey and Pacquiao, he is just not on their level. They knew exactly how to neutralize Broner

                    Like Aaron Pryor, he needs to go to 140 and STAY at 140! The different is Pryor wisely went back down to 140 after suffering 1 Defeat at 147. Broner is in denial I guess or maybe because he can make more money at 147 but looking at his career at 147: Malignaggi, Maidana, Porter, Granados, Vargas, Pacquiao that is actually a strong Resume but the only problem is that he is 2-3-1 as a Welterweight and those 2 Wins are Controversial over Paulie and Granados

                    Yes he will still continue to be a Main Event and make big money and draw ratings absolutely but he does need to go down and take 2 Winnable fights at 140 while waiting for a shot at maybe the WBSS 140 Winner (if it doesn't get canceled). Broner vs Prograis, Broner vs Josh Taylor over in the UK, Broner vs Jose Ramirez. Broner is a BIG FIGHT and Big Payday for all of those guys!

                      I agree.

                      But he would help himself out, if he really lived the life like Floyd Mayweather. Just for the reaming few years of his career, how hard is it? Other athletes do it in other sports. Boxers seriously need to sort their mindsets out, and live like Olympic athletes.

                      I was just watching Adrien Broner vs Shawn Porter, and Broner performed well in that fight and looked very strong physically.
