    Why was there no fight night weight for Broner? He shouldn't get special treatment. Floyd used to do this all the time. Im guessing he put on 15lbs to Pacquiao's 3lb.

    They need to announce both fighters weights or neither. This is bull****.

    He could be 247 lbs. in the ring. What difference does it make? He made weight for the weigh-in.

    If the opponent has an issue with it, he should move down a weight class. Problem solved. And guys like Manny and Floyd don't seem to have a problem.

    I'm not blaming Broner, this is Showtimes fault they should put both fighters weights in.

    Some of Broner's previous fight night weights

    Adrien Broner 157 - John Molina 154 contested at 140

    Adrien Broner 144 - Daniel Ponce De Leon 136 contested at 130 (leprechaun Ponce De Leon was robbed even though Broner had 8lbs on him lol)

    Adrien Broner 150 - Gavin Rees 150 contested at 135

    Adrien Broner 147 - Vincente Escobedo 142 contested at 130 but Broner came in at 133½

    Adrien Broner 154 - Carlos Molina 155 contested at 140

    Adrien Broner 156 - Marcos Maidana 161 contested at 147 (Broner was either 156 or maybe half a pound or even a full pound more IIRC)

    Broner had a 5lb weight advantage over Tony DeMarco but I can't remember their exact weights
