Thread: Broner-Maidana is no longer PPV.. GBP's Christmas present

Ortiz will be fighting Alfonso Gomez now.. Im glad GBP decided to be reasonable about this cuz Broner-Maidana on PPV didnt make any kind of sense.

Much agreed, it's a fight I want to see but never would have paid for. I think it was far to early to put Broner as the main draw in a ppv. Hopefully he gets his ass kicked and never makes it to ppv.

I'm not that interested in Broner-Maidana. With all the big fights GB has around that weight for Broner, it seems like they are feeding Maidana too him.

Maidanas performance against Alexander doesn't inspire much confidence against Broner, but then again look how EASY Broner was to hit against Paulie.

Maidana has real power and a great will. He is a live underdog.

Gotta agree. Really surprised how easily Maidana is being overlooked and hopefully Broner is doing the same. Devon is levels above Broner in defense and backfoot. I see Broner hit way too much and having struggled when he actually did step up to blow off a major hitter like Maidana.

Me neither.. this is a gimmie fight for broner really and gbp changing this to a non ppv event kind of shows that. They figured people arent going to pay for this mismatch so they backtracked.

Broner-maidana is a Boxing after Dark level fight..

Easy fight for broner..

Maidana should be tailor made for broner but honestly if gavin rees can tag ya so can maidana, so hopefully broner doesn't tighten up his defense and eats one he doesn't seem comin but don't see it happenin.

With Broner I think with Broner he needs to have a bit longer in his own weight class to hone his craft before moving up, I feel he's made a move for the money too early by fighting at welterweight.

this kinda reminds me of mayweater v gatti. i think that might be what golden boy sees as well. but broner ain't floyd and marcos ain't arturo... hopefully it ends differently.

i feel like both fighters are fighting a bad style for them. maidana has a hard time with speed and broner has a hard time with pressure. i will go out on a limb and say that maidana is the one who overcomes the adversity.

Broner is about 180 at the minute. He's not living the life and if he doesn't take Maidana seriously he could lose. He's only had one fight above 135 and that was Paulie. He hasn't exactly had his chin checked at 147 and he's going in with a guy who can punch. Maidana is going to be looking at how out of shape Broner is and thinking about tickling those ribs.

There is no way Broner will fight Maidana the way he fought Rees. There will be plenty of separation for most of the fight.

Maidana is a tough dude, but styles make fights. Maidana is a mauler who leaves himself open. In my opinion, this is a fight to make Broner look good after the sour taste left in people's mouths from his last fight. I think they'll stay away from boxers for a while with Broner. As far as outcomes, I could see something comparable to Alexander - Urango.

This means they could not sell it as a ppv fight so making out they are doing us a favour. Cunts.

When did Maidana suddenly become considered a pushover? He's a dangerous guy with a lot of wallop behind his punch.

The last few fights, all anyone could talk about was how Broner was fighting guys (Rees and Paulie) who he knew couldn't punch worth a shit and wouldn't be able to hurt him. Now he's fighting p4p one of the nastiest bangers in the sport who is also a legit top 10 WW, and people are still talking shit.

I'm not saying Maidana is a Pacquaio, Bradley or Mayweather. But come on, he's not a pushover, especially for a guy like Broner who loves to stand in the pocket and throw bombs himself.

This is a potential great action fight for free... stop complaining!
