if this fight does not happen, broner may end up fighting 3-4 fights for free just to settle with hbo, gbp and escobedo.
Give him all the purse. If you're going to get your ass kicked by a guy 2-3 weight divisions above you, you might as well take big $$$.
I don't think that there is enough in the budget for him to make 4x his base or 3x times his base, that's 450K plus 30K for the fine 480K Broner would have to fight for free It's Risky not to accept 360K at this point its 3:32 PM EST A decision has to be made by the suits, soon, and they might just pull the plug and take their losses and move on If i was his accountant I would be telling him to take the offer, get his ass in the ring and fight your ass off
You never know...he's best off pushing his luck. The card will cost more than a few hundred grand if it doesn't happen...
Please tell me all you ****ing idiots claiming it's "only 3lbs" have at least READ the fact that Escobedo is almost completely rehydrated.. while Broner is STILL rehydrating.. meaning he could have quite a few more pounds to go.. ADDING to his 143lb weight already. If you ignore this post and continue to rant, I salute you.. for there is always a need to ask the question "Would you like fries with that?"
Steve Kim‏@stevemaxboxing Ok, someone in Cincy with HBO texted me that Haymon is making one last ditch effort to persuade Esco into the fight... #boxing Is Al Haymon going to make it rain? - stay tuned lol
