Are boxing fans blaming the wrong people for Broner and Rios missing weight?

I'm going to try to be fair in this one. Yes that Broner gets more hated on but a lot of it is self generated. Broner didn't try hard enough. He tried for 130 but he didn't even try for the rehydrate clause. When Rios misses weight, you can see it on his face, he looks guant and zombie looking. You can tell that he went through hell trying to make weight. Plus Broner is all happy about missing weight while Rios is disappoint. Put on a sympathic act if you don't want people slagging you for it. That is all.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl You're killing me.

 

It's not just that, it's also the fact that he's tweeting pictures of junk food.

 

Cant argue that and thats exactly how I feel...He had an obligation to meet and didnt try his best to meet that obligation...He deserves some of the flack he's getting.

 

Of course not. I'm the biggest minority in here :yep

 

It's the casual and biased fans that **** it all up. Casual fans talk like they KSAB and biased fans just talk out of their ass and can't be neutral when making a comment. They will say ANYTHING to justify thir fighter's actions.

 

There is plenty of blame to go around: promoters want champions, trainers want advantages they can exploit, fighters realize all of the above equals dollars.

Ultimately, it is the fighter's responsibility to do all in his power to make weight and to ensure that his team in allowing him to do so in a healthy manner.

Broner failed to even try. He then insulted his opponent and the fans by continuing to miss weight clauses. He acted like an unprofessional ass (like Mayweather vs. JMM) and deserves the heat.

Rios fails in another way: he sacrifices his health and ability to perform. While admiral that he will do every thing in his power to make weight, he is also acting unprofessionally as the paying fans deserve to see him at his best.

 

It would not have mattered much.

Broner whoops Escobedo at anyweight. Simple as that, but Broner really needs to step it up. We are tired of the hype.He's had easy fights back-to-back.Plus all these hypes for beating bumz is outrageous.

 

As unprofessional as it is, it doesn't stop you from trying to make excuses for Broner...with a thread saying, "are boxing fans blaming the wrong people?" ****ing joking me? That's like saying it's wrong to hate McDonalds if you got food poisoning from there because an employee ****ed with your food.



Then again, with Broner wearing a "Free The Woman Beater" shirt in your avatar, it's obvious why you're taking this stance.

 

I ain't mad at Broner for not making weight. But this hype is just something, the hype is off

the charts. Amazing! keep up the good work.

 

No one else to blame on Broner's part. His management didn't provide him twinkies and twix, asking him to snap pics and post them on twitter. He's just over confident in himself because he has been feasting on no-hopers.

 

You're deflecting blame onto others involved with Broner rather than just putting it squarely on his shoulders. Does the management team cut weight too? Was Haymon carrying an extra 1.5lbs on him? How is that NOT making an excuse?


From a Broner / Mayweather fan's viewpoint, it would look like a bad analogy. Anything that makes sense to most people, to you guys is automatically classified as horrible.
