Dick head got of the scales and immediately started necking water like it was cool.
Esco's camp want a second weigh in today with extra penalties to keep Broner from topping 140.
Broner has already been $60,000 for this - half going to Esco and half for the commission.
everything about Broner screams douche :-\Quote:

just a bunch of cheats.:mad:
One has to ask: "Are the penalties severe enough to discourage this?"
What about the poor opponent who's left holding the bag? Who has spent months training responsibly only to find the opponent has made a sham of the whole process. Who has sacrificed to make the weight only to be told: "So sorry..... fight's off, unless you want to fight an opponent who outweighs you."
Time to add a little more accountability for fighters who don't make weight.
Those weight loss tablets innocently taken take on a whole new meaning when fighters cheat to make weight.
Broner weighed in at 143.5 diz mornin at 5am meanwhile Escobedo weighz 133.5
143.5 shows he just doesn't care. He weighed in at 133.5 yesterday and all he had to do was not gain anymore than 6.5 pounds overnight and he gains 9.5 pounds. So Escobedo is left with the options of calling off the fight and losing out on a payday that he and his team trained hard for or getting in the ring with a welterweight.Quote:

How shit-thick do you have to be to realise this the eve of the fight?
does escobedo get any money if the fight doesn't happen?
i doubt he does.
if he refuses to fight it will mean the hbo card falls apart? if this happens will he ever be invited to fight on hbo again? will hbo throw some extra money his way to ensure they have a show tonight?
Broner said this was to be his last fight at this weight. It normally means they are struggling at the weight.
That's not even close to the weight though! He must have known for days he was going to be coming in heavy.
Is the fight still happening?? I've heard it's off.
It was suppose to be on Box Nation from 2am.Quote:
