    brush my hair mother****er is at fault for not making weight but why wont this other mother****er take his money and hbo shine and title shot. he will not get the opportunity again illuminati hayman will make sure of that. definitely now when he tried to make it rain on him and he still said no.

    If I were Escobedo I'd take the money but then, I want to see Broner in trouble with HBO just for the lulz.

    If Escobedo was really confident of beating Broner they would take $350-400k what ever is being offered and go collect that WBO belt, the 3lb Broner weighed in extra will not have any bearing on the outcome of the fight, by Escobedo pulling out he will loose money for training and travelling and theirs no guarantee he will get another chance on HBO he is getting poor advice from his managment, at the end of the day I know they have pride but their on the B side of the equation and don't have much drawing power so sometimes you have to accept getting screwed over but same time they have been compensated pretty well for 3lb, for Escobedo to be offered $300-400k, Broner must be making less than $100k

    Gotta look at this through Escabado's eyes. It's his life, his health, his career, his choice. Only takes one punch to change a fight or a life, or even if you have life.

    is there not 10lb weight differences on fight night all the time. difference is broner had a 3lb head start and more than doubled his purse for it. that other dude can get his weight up to right.

    He knows he has them by the balls. He can probably get them to quadruple his original purse. I'd be doing the same thing if I were in his position.

    MF just take the money. Broner screwed up but no need to screw the fans and everybody involved over 3lb.
