I like andre ward. Hes a great guy.
But pretend he had an identical twin with the same skillset.
The twin that acted exactly like broner or fury will get the most money everytime.
@imp I def. see your point but hear me out on this from these names tell me which fighters behaved like Broner to sell tickets or become stars?
ODLH
Pacquiao
Holyfield
Lewis
Trinidad
Hatton
Cotto
RJJ
Wladdy

Go ahead take your time...
You have got to be kidding me Mick. It will take no time at all. Several of those listed have less then stellar backgrounds. Before them. Greb probably got into more bar fights then he did pro fights. And what of Ketchel's past? Robinsons womanizing and Ali's? Have a close look at Dixons career or Jimmy Wildes. None of the above and I could list many more had to deal with this micro second reporting on living. Thank whatever god for that.

This guy manufactured this shit and made a video flushing cash. He then has a photo circulating of him at a strip club? Does anybody actually believe that this was some chance encounter of seeing Adrien Broner at a strip club? You are being played. Haymon is buying property based on Broner demand. Half of which is probably people that want to see him starched on the canvas.
@IamInuit so let me see if I understand this correctly. You are saying that those guys like Greb, Ketchel, SRR and the rest did those things to sell tickets?

My response to @imp was in regards to him saying Broner was doing that to sell tickets.

I'm well aware of all the things some of these boxers did on the side. As well as Jack Johnson, JCC Sr. and Monzon to name a few. However you can not tell me they did these things to sell tickets. Which is what my response was intended for.

I don't think it's an act I've been around him several times now and see how he has treated fans already. I really think it's him he's trying to be like his big brother PBF.

What I'm saying is they don't sell him in this "form" to the people in order to be successful because there have been many successful boxers who sold huge numbers on PPV without having to resort to those antics.

It's more about being between 20 and 30. IMO
I agree with @beenKOed it's not a race thing but a mindset/age thing...
He's living the life.

Look at Danny Garcia he's not black and he does some wild shit from what I've been told. @Beanflicker

funny you're the one who ignored exactly what CutMeMick wrote, and listed fighters that he didn't even mention as examples, get your nose out of Broner's ass, call me old fashioned but a fighter's marketability should be based on how he performs in the ring, the rest of his antics and bullshit behavior out of it doesn't make him a star, it just shows what kind of a person he is out of the ring, Broner's behavior every time shown portrays that he's an arrogant stuck up self entitled little bitch, not even an original one at that, even the man whom he tries to portray (Mayweather) shows a clear difference between Floyd the person and Money the character, all it sounds like to me is we have a new Taeth =/
I never ignored squat. I said that many listed had less then stellar pasts be it Oscar wearing nylons, coking out with hookers or Holyfields 30 kids with about 8 different women. I merely assumed that most knew what "less then stellar" means. I listed the others because many many fighters throughout history make Broner look like a boy scout.
@IamInuit I'll say it again as far as selling tickets/big numbers ODLH or Evander didn't do those things to sell tickets. Which is what my response was about...
I know boxers have a life aside from boxing and most aren't perfect that's not what I'm debating. I'm saying is that this is not an act. Broner really is an idiot.
And you don't need an "act" to sell tickets if you are as talented as you claim to be.
Go in there get the job done and that itself will sell tickets.
