    Wow never saw so much hate for one man since floyd mayweather on esb. Broner doing something right that's for sure.

    True, but he's moving up. There are some great fights that can be made at 135, not many, but then again I don't see him staying at that weight for long anyway.

    Who are all said apologists? I see a lot of comparisons to other fighters, but not many if any defending his actions...

    HBO or showtime won't show his fights anytime soon with that fiasco.

    I am sure you are talking in the future tense, like 5 years from now.

    You would be wrong Hbo just found themselves a star once pac and floyd leave. Someone that will get people talking whether it be negative or positive as long as you are talking you keeping boxing relevant.

    I said who.. All that could be from one poster or a troll or a poster obviously trolling. Some could be defending him, but I've honestly just saw a bunch of comparisons and nobody actually defending what he did. Some of those things above are just statements. I'm quite sure everyone who's said the things above also said it was wrong for him to come in overweight and not even try to lose it after seeing he's overweight.

    All those examples are just ways for his fanboys to defend Broner and "lessen the blow" of his infractions. Why else would they bring it up instead of the issue at hand which is Broner being a weight cheat?

    and I don't want to single out anyone but just check the RBR thread and the "Broner didn't make weight" thread for the answers if you really want to find them.
