HBO replaces mayweather with.....

[Mars_ax]

Floyd has a huge fanbase, some love him, some hate him, but his PPV's make a ton of money. Broner will never come even close to being as popular or as successful as Mayweather.

If you look at Mayweather in the last decade you'll see that he was actually very offensively minded fighter. His destruction of Corrales and Gatti are a testament to that.

2005 and 2001. Those are the fights you use as an example? Yea a decade ago......he was very offensive minded. Fans are not thinking about what he did 10 years ago, pre-mma. People want action not decisions.

Yes I very much appreciate Floyd's skill in the sweet science, but how many fans do? People want ko's. right know Adrian is giving people that. Hbo is banking in it.

I'm also not saying Adrian will be better than Floyd, but he is replacing Floyd at hbo.

Broner will be a big star in boxing if he stays on course. He's just so goddamn exciting.

He is probably 3x more obnoxious than Floyd is (which is really saying something), but Floyd proved that you don't have to be beloved to sell tickets.

People will pay to see Broner fighter, whether it's because they wanna see his athleticism or they wanna see him get KTFO.

I saw the racism.

I strongly protest that the thread starter is banned.

I completely agree!

I think Floyd moving to Showtime could be a good thing for HBO

I'm hoping now that they have a little loose change around they'll concentrate on putting on fights people want to see

I can see them starting to develop a group of stars & hopefully making excellent fights...

Agreed they should spread the money around on a number of rising stars.

You don't "replace" Floyd just how Oscar wasn't replaced.
You use the next best option.

If Broner continues to win his fan base will continue to grow.

Spear Chucker...Ignit...sounds like we have a race to the short bus brewing

Look, even as a 'kid' Floyd was many times over the skilled boxer to Broners gimmicky copyright infringement with no backfoot. Just the way it is. Floyd didn't care what fans thought...Broner is thinking boxing-fans need him to save it ffs . The fact that Broners selling point is him barking to be in someone elses spotlight (while losing rounds to a 81-1 underdog) says all you need to hear

HBO is shitting its shorts and should be because they put the eggs all in one or two baskets.

That's a big 'if', when Broner moves up to 140 he'll get his first loss.

[ruthless rocco]

broner will lose within the next 23 months...

wtf is up with the thread starter using the term spear chucker. We all are entitled to our own opinions but I don't find that shit cool at all. You can make a point to note that you are black all you want but if a fellow African American or a man of another race called me a "spear chucker" I wouldn't appreciate it much.
