I know many people hate him, but hear me out. Broner came onto the scene and started with a carbon copy of the "Money Mayweather" persona. That **** only works when you're winning fights and unbeaten. This schtick simply won't work for him anymore. Not only has he lost, he got his a$$ handed to him two times. I still think Broner is an excellent fighter and could be a draw. What I would like to see him do though, is act more like Floyd did before all the money. He was very polite and respectful. I think Broner could make it work. Ultimately he need to start winning important fights, but I still think he can be a star. I don't think Broner is actually a bad guy in real life.
It won't work. Right now besides Golovkin and Canelo, Broner is the most popular active fighter in boxing. If being respectful actually worked then Crawfords next fight would be selling a million PPVs. GGG's place in the mainstream media would eclipse Conor McGregor's and Kovalev vs Ward would be the biggest fight of the decade. Broner acting like a picany, Disney level **** has gotten him more money fighting nobody than it got Mayweather before the De La Hoya fight. Sad but true. Look at our society and what fly's as entertainment. MTV has more "reality shows" and no music. TLC ,The Learning Channel is the echelon of middle of the country white trash. BET is obsessed with Black women fighting each other. WTFatsch My apologies for the rant. Respectfulness and success are separate goals in entertainment.
He'd do well to find his own style and reinvent himself, he has obvious talent but his obsession with mimicking Floyd is holding him back.
It would. Honestly though he wouldn't of got the fights he got and the chances he had or people trying to build him up(for a while) if not for that idiotic persona, being polite and respectful unfortunately doesn't sell - like you said look at early Floyd and why he changed his personality. Being a ass has worked wonders for him, no matter what he tries at this point his career is close to over.
