Here's a good Malignaggi interview. 14 minutes long but it's worth watching.
Malignaggi Unleashed: Jabs Broner, Thurman and HBO - Boxing News
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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
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.
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....
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
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.
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.

Ricky burns?
Silly move, he should wait to fight Burns, why is he skipping 140? There's so many good fights to be made there as well.
Yeah get a grip One Time. Burns would fight Broner. I think Warren wants to avoid the fight though. He criticised Eddier Hearn for taking his fighters to America but it's because he believes in their ability. Warren has no faith so if it were up to him, he'd have Burns defending his World title against as many bums as he could find. If Burns leaves Warren for Matchroom, you can bet Burns will be pushing for the Broner fight.
