Yeah I agree

I don't like saying it but what happens if he takes the fight and is seriously hurt?

Exactly.

Not saying they should hang Broner out to dry, but at least don't try and put the onus back onto Esco to take the fight.

They should be practically on their knees begging.

Agreed.

Given that Haymon and DLH practically run HBO he'll be shut out now

I hope Broner is stripped of the title and Escubedo fights a nobody for the vacant.

Ideally he'd get that. Can't see it though

[Anaboilc lion]

off / on / off .......

which is it ?

[saintsmike]

Hope it's off. Broner needs a hefty fine and a ban for this shit.

He could sue or while he has GBP/HBO by the balls make it count.
3 fights including another go for the strap on their undercard at the same pay rate.
Fuck em over royally, HBO will be fuming.

I just hope that Escobedo isn't ''bought'' by the promoters/HBO and tells Broner to go and fuck himself, and then sues for loss of earnings as a result of the failure to make weight.

If he's 143 at 9.30am, he'll be close to 150 in the ring.

Ricky Hatton used to get in at 152, and he was a big, strong light welter. A man going in at close to 150 shouldn't be fighting against a super feather. End of story.

Way too big and probably cutting shedloads of water to make weight. He's as big as most welters, who in turn are 150-155lbs

I think he did try to make 130lbs but he would have been very dehydrated at 133 and as soon as he drank some water he'd add those 10 pounds back. He'll probably be 148 in the ring if not more

Pretty ironic you talking about Hatton and a guy going upto 150lbs not fighting against welters, given that's what Hatton did for much of his early career

[Beeston Brawler]

Hatton wasn't trying to fight against superfeather's though....

[BoxingAnalyst]

Broner is a fraud, got comprehensively beaten by Ponce De Leon, only casuals would see him and think he is the next superstar, just like Adam Smith does.

What a cunt.

Fight appears to be back on. Broner currently weighs 148 lbs.

I read 400 gs in the general forum, there was a tweet from Al Haymon that they were going to make once last offer to make the fight.

Original offer I read was 150gs with 30 extra on top for Broner failing to make weight.

The scene also say that a close source has stated that Escobedo's has been offered as much as $400,000 to move forward.

Is OP Brian Badonde?

Don't know I read that he weighed 140 lbs earlier when Broner was also meant too but didn't.

No mention of his current weight.
