Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title

[TigerFan]

Here's a good Malignaggi interview. 14 minutes long but it's worth watching.

Malignaggi Unleashed: Jabs Broner, Thurman and HBO - Boxing News

[Master]

Very silly fight which leaves Broner way out of his weight class should he win. They have slowly been developing Broners career and they then do this.

147 is dumb I'm saying this won't happen, but if it does you can't say nothing, a fighter has the right to fight in whatever division he wants, people don't complain when their fighter does it but it's a problem when anyone else does. Really Broner should fight 3 times at 135 move to 140 and than fight there for 2 years than be at 147 for good, GB can't be this dumb.

I have predicted that Broner would be at 147 by xmas of this year so a fight with Paulie is not out of the question sooner if they cant get Burns. Broner is a massive freakin lightweight and would be much bigger then Paulie at 147 if they ever fought. Drop the size thing right off the bat. Malignaggi is not bigger then Broner.

Wow Schaefer says it's set what garbage, let's be honest people will always dump on Broner but this is legit the dumbest fight humanly possible.

[Hulk]

This match intrigues me. Its a bit out of left field and you certainly have to favor Broner.

However, I've come to like Malinaggi as he is a slick boxer and one tough SOB.

I believe Broner will discover his KO power will be considerably diminished at welterweight. Paulie has a chance to put him in his place. Then I recall how much Paulie was outclassed and outquicked by Amir Khan and I start thinking the same thing may happen....

Do you think he's chasing Floyd?
I have no doubts about Broner beating Paulie. If this fight happens who are you picking?
Yes, great and all knowing Inuit person, you are the man again because you did pick Hopkins over Cloud. That seems like 10 of 11, right?

I can't see Broner fighting Mayweather, the contract he wants to sign with HBO will give him 2 million a fight, why would he risk so much when there is no way he will get a huge payday from Floyd, Mayweather seems to have found money in fighting Mexicans and I don't think that will change.

If he wants to make a billion dollars in boxing, like he has stated, he will have to fight for more than two mil a fight. LOL
Look, he is going to wind up promoting, his goal is to be bigger than everyone in boxing.
Have no idea if he would ever fight Floyd, but all he has to do is look like he wants to, and his name will be linked to Floyd's.
After boxing Broner will probably begin the rapification of the known universe. You have to admire Broner, he's no piker, he dreams BIG.
I do think that Broner believes he can beat Floyd.

Honestly my first question is whats the undercard? I half feel bad for Paulie as hes been playing musical opponents for months now. No Cano rematch who beat him, no Hatton, thankfully the ghost of Mosleys ghost fell through, and now Broner who frankly has been a jr/welts in a lightweight body his last couple of fights. They are banking on Paulie being battle worn with no punch and whos legs have grown iffy. A shortcut to grab a trinket with high profile to bigger paydays. But Paulie is a very smart boxing mind also and Broner still makes mistakes.
