Do you consider Adrien Broner as an ‘entertaining’ fighter to watch?

    I think you contradicted yourself there. Nobody but a fool loves narcissistic assholes whatever their "shade" as you put it. Also, your assumption that the people who hate him watch his fights is contradicted by my own statement above that I do not watch most of his fights. I hated Floyd and did not watch his fights for years because I did not find him entertaining and I did not want to encourage and reward his bad behavior. Broner isn't well paid because he acts like a jackass. He's a draw because he has name recognition. From 2010 to 2013 he was being touted as the next Mayweather and had headlined a number of cards. Name recognition, not bad actions drives viewership.

    I forgot to add his fight with Granados, which I thought was a fun fight to watch also. Honestly, he’s not an elite fighter but he’s also not an absolute bum. He’s a loudmouth that no one really takes seriously and yet still manages to keep people interested in watching him.
    Just keep him away from big punchers with good workrate.

    The new manager must be having an effect since he toned down his post-fight interview diatribe after the initial barrage. Seems to me as if he was given some advice from his new manager.

    He's entertaining when he's throwing back. Most of the time he's looking to counter off of that poor man's Floyd patent shoulder roll. He is accurate though, gotta give him props. I do watch all his fights with interest.

    I like his fights but he only fights for 6 rounds these days.

    His talking points after the fight are elite highlights :stirrpot:aaaaa:

    Wonder if he's still lighting up money and flushing it down the toilette.

    Broner is pretty much always in entertaining fights,
    He's a sharp puncher (if not always active), and
    he gets hit and fires back. POS outside the ring,
    but in the ring, he's pretty fearless as far as willing
    to literally fight anyone. (I know of no one else that
    was calling out Matthysse and was dead serious other
    than Broner).

    When he lets his hands go yes, Its so frustrating seeing him have such low work rate, when he lets his hands go he legit has skills, He needs to stop fighting scared and take some risks, such a wasted talent.

    I agree. When he just lets them go, its a sight to see. Guy's got hella talent but I feel is not utilizing it correctly
