Broner chooses immediate rematch with Maidana

[FinitoElDinamita]

He's made it loud and clear that he's not going to fight anyone else except for Maidana..

That's exactly what I want to hear from a fighter. It may not be the smartest move but I like his mentality..

[p4pking]

No doubt, as long as Maidana isn't fighting Floyd next I'm sure this can be made pretty easily, we'll see. It's for sure ballsy of Broner to pursue the fight, shit I wouldn't want to see Maidana ever again if I were him.

Have I missed something here? Broner Chooses rematch with Maidana? Didn't Maidana win the fight (and pretty convincingly too!!!) I reckon it will be Maidana making the choices. Who does Broner think he is? Everybody is telling him to go down a weight and he's not having it. Is it because he's a "mini JCC Jr. ?" by that I mean that he says he's comfortable at this weight just so he doesn't have to do a bit of hard work to fight at the next weight down. If he was honest with himself, he's probably just a lazy, arrogant prick!

the reality is tho dude is that Broner is still probably a bigger draw in amarica, a bigger name, probly because he is an arrogant prick but still

Trooos.. Let's not make Maidana out to be some shotcallin megastar just cuz he beat Broner.. IT's not like he's going to get a shot at Floyd next anyways. Who else besides Broner can give him the kind of spotlight and payday..

Broner is still in the position to call the shots. Not Maidana..

I disagree. There are loads of fights out there for Maidana . He's got a world title and plenty of guys would fancy taking that off him and subsequently land themselves a shot at Mayweather. Even guys like Garcia and Matthyse who would see it as a good way to move up and be relevant. The thing is that Maidana probably wouldn't turn anyone down either. I'm not saying he's a great fighter, he probably will lose, but he's gonna make some money. He don't need Broner , and now Broner has lost , he's a little bit harder to market.

[Rantcatrat]

He is second in line for a Mayweather fight right now, therefore, even if he doesn't get Mayweather right away, he may get him at the end of the year. In addition, he already beat Broner so why take the risk in fighting him again? On the same note, as much as I want to see a rematch between Garcia and Matthysse, I completely understand why Garcia wouldn't face him again. Would a Paulie fight pay him as much as another Broner fight, or close, with less risk? How about a Porter fight? etc. He's not in the driver's seat, but he's got options.

I think this is posturing. Broner will heed Floyd's advice and drop down to 140.

Yea you've missed something. Broner brings the money. That's all that matters

"Brings the Money?" How many more defeats before he stops bringing the money? And it's not his name associated with fighting Mayweather, it's Maidana's, and that's where the REAL money is. Just to show I'm not hating on Broner , I reckon he showed a lot of heart against Maidana, but if he fights any of the top Welterweights, the same thing happens .
If he goes back to Lightweight , he rules for years. But a.) he'll never see that weight again and b.) there's no money down there. His only option is to go to Light-Welter and try to win a world title. If he stays at 147, he'll be finished inside 2 years.(unless he manages to get a fight with Khan, because he will KTFO of Khan.)

The sad fact is.... whenever someone is annointed as "The Next (fill in the blank)"..... it takes more than an embarrassing beatdown to take him off that "money-maker" perch. Such is the sport of boxing. The press becomes infatuated with the fighter.... helps build the deserved or undeserved hype (doesn't matter, really)..... and eventually takes said fighter to PPV status.

In an ideal world, it should be Maidana deciding whether or not he gives Broner a rematch. But as you've seen by the responses here, not even boxing fans agree with that.

Broner had an immediate rematch clause and executed it. Its a good sign and a good move. Its refreshing unlike my boy Bute who had one for Froch in Quebec and bailed on it. Damn man now Broner is getting shit on for doing the right thing.

[Kirkland Laing]

I think Broner is delusional by insisting on an immediate rematch and GBP/Haymon have said to themselves fuck it, he's not as good as we thought he was so let's let the fucker sink or swim.

If Broner wins a controversial decision (which is highly likely) then a trilogy is pretty much guaranteed. But Maidanan may just beat the shit out of him again and what then? Maybe Broner says it's just another blip and he continues thinking he's the next Floyd. Which would give us the intriguing possibility that the rest of his career may resemble King Arthur's confrontation with The Black Knight.

He's made it loud and clear that he's not going to fight anyone else except for Maidana..

That's exactly what I want to hear from a fighter. It may not be the smartest move but I like his mentality..

Agreed but I also think it smart.

I think Broner can win the fight if he forgets about standing in front of Maidana while trying to make him miss. Stupid, stupid way to fight!
There was and still is some bad blood between the two camps, I think the fight will happen but I hope Broner is forced to ask politely for it.
Haven't heard a lot from Broner lately (probably licking his wounds) anyway I'm thinking that keeping his mouth shut is almost as bad as getting his ass kicked. LOL
I'd like to see Broner win plus show some respect for Maidana, boxing and the fans. Probably not possible but I can hope.
