    You know if Broner talked sensible like he did in most of this video a lot of people would start to like the guy!
    Why does he have to behave like such a dick when quite clearly hes not.
    Broner ko 5.

    America isn't monolithic; George Carlin, Richard Pryor et al are the best examples of comedy over here - not ******ed Broner. Really only a portion of America's youth (almost exclusively the modern rap & drugs-brainwashed sort) would find him anything but cringe-worthily ignorant and maybe only ever funny in laughing AT him.

    However, Broner isn't much known in the USA, as boxing is a very minority sport these days and he isn't even a big star within it alone, nevermind sports in general like Pac and a few others are. Amongst American boxing fans, most surely see best to ignore everything outside of his actual boxing.

    So, yeah, if you were to ask the average American on the street about him, 90%+ would say "who?" or "I don't follow boxing [some would acknowledge MMA instead]" and if you showed them the relevant video most would certainly say "what a dumbass/moron" and go back to worrying about their finances etc...

    :good

    Broner may not articulate in the proper fashion you Brits are used to, but I'm sure there will be no misunderstanding in that square circle. Rees will truely understand what an ass whoopin is and that's what he is getting put on him in a most vicious manner.:yep

    Well dam, If you'er American, then you shouldn't be complaining because our language can change from state to state, bump that, from neighborhood to neighborhood. Don't hate on the way Broner talks. He probably don't understand you.:bbb

    Your point has nothing to do with Broner's proven lack of education, speaking ability and laughably poor 'comedy' prowess. Add to that his stereotypically shallow/materialistic mindset, and he's just shitty human being. Promising boxer tho! :lol:

    yes, because boxing is known for being a sport full of college graduates from the suburbs :nut.

    boxing will always be an urban sport in america. might as well get used to it.

    Brits mad because Broner is confident and respectful as well as bigging up Rees. LOL.
    Folks have an inferiority complex.

    Broner handled the press conference well.

    His attempt at humour is cringeworthy, that's all.

    :patsch

    If you found that funny you have the intellect of a 12 year old. He tried to do a stand up routine and it was ****ing embarrassing. Pretending he didn't know his name, but then said "Gavin Rees....Gavin Reid? I don't know his name"...the twinkie **** was so try hard...

    I actually cringed watching it. I'm not mad, never been a Rees fan and Broner will beat the crap out of him, but he was not in any way respectful. Continually saying he didn't know his name, calling him "ugly".:roll: Again some ****ing 12 year old ****...:patsch

    The guy comes across as a ****. Perhaps he's a decent guy in real life, but that press conference was hard to watch it was so unfunny and juvenile.

    Like I said, brits taking it a little too hard.

    He was very polite, made some small talk, said he respected Rees and Rees' accomplishments, and then cracked some jokes.

    You brits feeling insecure lash out, ignoring how disrespectful and crass Rees was, but it is typical.
