    Why would Mayweather care?

    Broners not promoted by him. They're friends but that's about it from what can be seen

    Broner's fight was promoted by Mayweather Promotions, meaning Mayweather Promotions promoted Broner's fight.

    Haymon should get really angry and throw Broner in with Beterbiev.

    I don't think Floyd likes Broner all that much to be honest. Floyds a bit of a Machiavelli character imo. He's not as bad as Haymon though. :scaredas:

    Please, please. I'm begging people who say that "[insert fighter] fights like Tyson", that if you're going to compare a boxer to Tyson, watch his early and in prime fights. It will save you from using an inappropriate comparison :D

    Porter is NOT a slick, defensive fighter either. The way Porter fights (and I'm a fan of his) he'd struggle with someone like that. Broner has talent but he never puts it together and as a result, gets disputed wins or "exposed".

    Still i do agree that Broner was fed to Porter as I think Haymon sees Porter as someone with more upswing (and less of a headache to deal with).

    Broner cant hang with the bigger guys. Broners career could have been managed better. I know its easy to say after he looses a couple fights. But he could have gradually moved up in weight fighting guys moving up in a similar way like peterson or garcia. Only reason broner skipped 140 in first place was probably because he has trouble keeping weight down

    By that logic, he also promoted Porters fight.

    Doesn't make a difference who wins to him

    Broner is too lazy to make 140 he blows way up between fights. He also thought about chasing money fights at 147. If he was smart and dedicated he would have never skipped 140 there were good fights to be had there. Broner needs to fire his trainer get a nutritionist leave the rap game alone the partying and dedicate him himself to the sport.

    Clearly. Mayweather promotes a one off Broner fight, and apparently he's upset over who wins/loses.

    Only thing he cared about was how well that one fight card did. Broner is not a Mayweather promotions fighter.

    Next fight Broner has will probably be promoted by DiBella or Goosen etc

    So you think Mayweather would rather promote fighters who can't even draw a flies to turd?

    If you cannot see how Haymon and Mayweather were coddling Broner for his fight with Shawn then there is nothing left to discuss considering how obviously corrupt last saturday's fight was.

    He DOESNT PROMOTE Broner or Porter!!

    Which part are you not getting?

    He promoted this card because he had a couple of guys on the undercard and someone needs to promote these cards for Haymon.
    Like Di Bella does, or Warriors or Goosen etc
