Adrien Broner Gives $1,000 to Homeless Man ... Gets Incredible Reaction | TMZ.com
Ain't he the bestest?
It is called a publicity stunt, his PR team came up with the idea..
It's damage control after the controversy he created with the mexican comments..l
Rather have him give it away to a guy than watch him post videos wiping his ass with $20s in a Popeyes bathroom. Def a stunt, but eh
I liked when bunce was talking about broner doing that and pointed out when floyd was throwning money in clubs and so on around he was using hundreds instead of twentys :S......Quote:

We know its a PR stunt... Broner probably set up the robbery afterwards, cuz he is a mean and cheap bastard. But, lets talk about how good it was!!
It had been reported the homeless man took the money , bought a nice hot meal ,a hot shower , got a pay as you go phone , rang Broner and said to him -
" You are still as classless cunt ".
No, it is called "attempts to please God", his pastor came up with the ideaQuote:

Doesn't change one thing about Broner but you go ahead and make shit up in case one person thinks it does. I'm sure someone buying your BS is going on to great things like one day taking the helmet off.Quote:

Sounds like u about to go down on the short monkey right now..
Homeless guy takes money to local drug dealer for a fix. I would have rather seen him take that money and feed the homeless or buy some clothes. bullshit stunt, probably asked for it back when the cameras were off.
Well done Broner, he needs to be encouraged to do positive things perhaps then he will become a better person.
Its hairbrush boy who is homeless.
I've never understood people who hand large sums of money to a person just grateful for a bologna sandwich and 5 bucks. Really. It has everything to do with making it about you only, its another twisted way of throwing money at the camera
Don't tell Ron Swanson- he hates analytical thinking.Quote:

Unless the guy is crippled and mentally challenged. I don't think you should be giving homeless people money. Btw did oscar rape a lady? @cyclone
Maybe you should be a better poster. :)Quote:

I have no problem with people helping the less fortunate. But when you have a camera running and post that shit...it reeks of publicity.
Your post reeks of hatred.Quote:

If Broner were somebody you liked you'd be talking out the other side of your neck.
No..Oscar raped a 15 y/o child....and payed her off when his death threats failed.Quote:

You would be a moron to think this "will inspire others to be more understanding and generous." This guy was flushing cash down the toilet a year ago. People who are kind and generous don't need their good deeds broadcast for attention.Quote:

Better than handing large sums of money off to Arum and KronczQuote:

There was a program in VB where instead of large cash contributions were handled in gift cards, pre paid public transportation, Taxis, Wal Mart or Cosco. Half of that could see a couple of weeks in a Budget Inn or the like. 1k when you have absolute jackshit can create foundation and stability enough to jump start. It is of course all moot if there is the underling issue of substance abuse, mental illness etc. Its a decent gesture but its manipulative at the same time and until the empty pair of boots that is Broner stops whipping his ass with the same amount it falls flat to think him some saint.Quote:

When I was in my teens (like 10 years ago) we did charity events and raised money for the homeless.
We donated anonymously to the place we aimed to help. We at no stage involved a video camera.
Good gesture, but wrong reason.
Listen, I'm not a fan of Broner, almost everything he does out of the ring annoys me in one way or another plus he plays the clown in the ring, too.Quote:

If Broner had given this person anything under one hundred dollars everyone would de talking about what a cheap prick he is. If the cameras weren't around that's what he might normally do, of course it's anybody's guess what normal is for Broner.
What I'm trying to say is that if a camera is around Broner will be trying to do something over the top, it's his nature.
Broner can't win, if he gives too much or too little he's screwed and that's probably ok with him because his name is being mentioned.
The money card is an excellent idea!
