Re: mallinagi v broner
There's a reason for broner that its this fight at this time with a guy who's past his prime, still holds a belt but got dropped by some lunch pail type fighter in his last fight. Broner overshot the weight before and didnt even try (once) to come in under. He made it in the last fight but was probably ready to move up for a while. This is probably a fast track for him to get money defenses. maidana and thurman are in the top five in line for a shot though if he beats paulie.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
