Who knows what Broner is up to? I'm starting to enjoy the way he stays two steps ahead of everyone though.
Could HBO be pissed at Floyd for taking off? Could they be siccing Broner on Floyd in an attempt to embarrass Floyd? Nah, HBO is too big to endulge in petty stuff like that, aren't they?
Whatever is going on, I'm a lot more interested than I was a couple of days ago.
How about you?
Definitely interested to see the next step after this fight
Does Paulie working for Showtime & this fight possibly being on HBO cause any issues?
Looking like some awesome potential fights at 147 in the future...
Paulie said he will ask for permission, shouldn't be a issue
I heard Broner is going to Showtime

He's tried for Burns twice in two different weight classes.
There was hope that it could be done after Ricky split from Warren. It appears now that the split was not as clean as it seemed and that Warren may have legal standing. Burns could be in court and in limbo for the next year or more. Gamboa is on the slow boat to irrelevance.
No rule exists that he must stop at every half division along the way. If he wants to bypass 140 then so be it. He's still moving up 2 divisions to a direct title shot. Not unlike guys like Armstrong, Floyd, Manny and countless others. Yes its a trinket and I share your pain in that regard but they are all trinkets.
To bad Paulie cant crack an egg yolk because his movement and speed could possibly bring Broner out of his comfort zone.
@IamInuit - That's another reason the fight is unwatchable for me, besides Pauli having no power, his fights are snoozers. Pauli vs. broner? That's a horrible matchup.
But to tell you the truth, I just can't stand looking at broner and I won't do a fight/chat thread no-matter who he's fighting. The only broner fight I ever plan on watching is a re-play of a fight when he gets his puny ass kicked.

Broner is doing nothing different then many that have came before him.

So true, does this mean you'll do broner's fight/chat threads?
:bag:
Re: Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title
After his last fight Broner said he was going to stay at 135 for a fight or two them move up to 140. Now he's going straight to 147 and will probably beat Paulie and own a belt at welter. How many fights does he have left at HBO? If he moves to Showtime then probably they're looking to put him in with Floyd at some point. He skips the logjam (and a possible defeat) at 140, gets a Paulie title fight and can then handpick his opponents while running his mouth and creating enough buzz to get a fight with Floyd. Or maybe he stays at HBO, gets a Paulie title fight and then handpicks his opponents at two million a pop ( if this contract story is true.) If he wants to make serious PPV money though he needs to fight and beat Floyd before somebody else does.

Please no. It would be like Lenin being replaced by Stalin. Or Simon Cowell by Piers Morgan. There is no God.

Hopefully somebody does replace him. If Trout bursts Canelo's bubble Broner is the only potential guy on the horizon who could possibly become a major PPV draw.

Trout loses to Canelo. While being undoubtedly very talented I don't think Broner is anywhere near the level of Mayweather. He somewhat exceeds him in the being a dick outside of the ring department which is pretty astonishing, but I don't think Floyd has slipped as much as people are saying. I don't think Trout has anywhere near the amount of ring smarts needed to avoid being caught in a barrage of combinations by the cinnamon kid and so The Canelo bandwagon will march on. I like the kid he is getting better each fight but even with a weight and size advantage Floyd is way too much for Alvarez right now.
Re: Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title
Broner is not fighting Floyd...EVER! They are grooming him to be the next Floyd...both repped by Al Haymon...and they are even hamming up the big bro/little bro angle in public. Not to mention...why would Broner go up against the best fighter in the world when he has not even been tested this early in his career?! He would get schooled and his people don't need that for him at this stage. As for the Paulie fight...if Malignaggi had pop in his punch...this could be an interesting fight...since Broner's defense is VERY overrated. There are better fights for Broner to make at 140...oh well.

If Broner does lose, you'll be pissed you didn't watch.
Broner is hard to take, I'll be the first to admit that, I find myself thinking bad thoughts when he pulls some of his BS, but I'm looking foreward to the next thing he does to keep things stirred up.
Is he really following Floyd to SHOWTIME or doing some hardball negotiating with HBO for three or four mil a fight? There are probably some folks at HBO who are losing sleep. I hope!
No I won't, i'll just gleefully watch the re-play. Since ya'll seem to be big fans, why don't you and Inuit get together and do Broner's fight/chat threads?
Seriously, i'd rather attempt to fuck a cactus, then watch one of boner's fights, even with the sound muted.
