    exactly how i see it. Imagine if he went on to lose his next fight. Probably be a decision he would regret for a long time. 400 gs id have to say **** it an just go with it.

    What will Broner be by the time he is in the ring. This would be an acceptable risk if Broner keeps his weight at 143 all the way to the ring.

    I'd also push for more than Broner is getting, he is no longer the champ and has broken the agreed contracts.

    that mexi mother****er chavez comes in at 180 for his 160 fights and his opponents all have the chance to make the same weight as him on fight night. mexi mother****er needs to get his weight up take the 400k and punch brush my hair boy in the gut. no way a mother****er getting his hair brushed by another adult man mother****er is that bad and hes fat obviously. take your 400k and try to win or illuminati hayman will have hbo not show you again.

    tell al haymon to put $500,000 on the table and then he'll think about it.

    im sure he can claim something anyway. **** team haymon, **** the ****ing goofy watson twins and **** golden boy.

    It would be at least a 10 pound advantage for Broner come fight time, plus he never had to struggle to make weight, I don't believe he even tried, he will be the much stronger man in the ring.

    If weight doesn't matter, how about this? Double Escobedo's purse, and Broner has to wear 16 ounce gloves. Weight doesn't matter after all, according to some of you.

    He signed the contract & thinks its a risk worth taking.

    Lets have it right Cellz, 3.5lbs at weigh-in will equal a lot more once Broner is fully fed & hydrated. If they fight there will be probably a 5-10lb difference.

    Even if they were exactly the same weight Broner is far superior & would be a strong favourite. He's faster & hits a lot harder than Guerrero or Katsidis, add a massive weight advantage to the obvious difference in ability & its a very risky fight to take.

    Take the $400k he makes from this fight, subtract camp & manager fees & its not a retirement fund if the worst should happen. Go watch Gatti-Gamache & see if having a massive weight disparity is a good idea.

    those 3 pounds mean Broner may be over 150 in the ring
    Escobedo maybe 140
    Broner will always be the favourite
    this fight would have been a decent test but the weight disadvantage will make it onesided
