    How is it possible boxing and promoters forgives guys like Broner? It was only one year ago since AB KO'd random dude who was just passing by. And all the other things he has done? I just don't get it. Boxing and promoters gives acceptance everything he does. I would never hire a guy with that kind of reputation. It is combat sports number one rule that you NEVER use your skills outside the gym if not necessary.

    And this guy is a professional boxer who does stuff like that outside of the ring and hey boom, here you: fight Manny Pacquiao.

    That is so twisted. He deserves to get this kind of fights and money? To fight boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao? How is this possible?

    I hate Broner. Imo you should never be licensed to fight again if you hit someone without any reason. Guy went out cold ffs.

    Broner is VERY well known. The 19 year old receptionist at my work knew who he was from TMZ and other hip hop radio shows. She didn't know he was fighting, but she knew who he was.

    Not defending Broner or saying he deserves to be there, but he clearly has star power.

    Hes American, hes loud and is actually a better Boxer than he often shows us. Manny sells this show but Manny vs an American helps it alot and the casuals dont care that he punched a guy or did other things and they likely dont even know he did. They like the fight. So if they got a guy like Broner who is a total unlikable bellend to us but can help make them money from casuals then they wont give a **** what hes been doing.

    Im actually really looking forward to this one, Pacquiao is a faded star, im not sold on the claims hes feeling young again the man is past it now, forget Crawford and Spence but somebody like Broner? I think its a good and possibly balanced match up. And if im wrong and Pacman gives Broner a proper pasting then all the better for me. If Broner does the pasting then atleast Pacqiaou will know where he really stands in the division.

    Wouldn’t call this a megafight, not even close to one really. Broner is a punk, but is there a better willing opponent for Pac right now?

    Neither did Danny or Mikey (though he gets a pass because he is fighting Spence).

    Greedy promoters can maks all the PPVs they want but the fans have the power to make or break the events.

    It’s 2019 and we dont need to pay for boxing. Watch it some other way and it’s easy.

    What i find insulting is that his last three fight have been a narrow SD win against journeyman Granados, a shut out to Garcia and a draw (which i and many others thought he lost) against Vargas yet he's now got a big fight against a (ageing) ATG for mega bucks??? Disgraceful!!
