    Very true, but Floyd also wasn't a mega draw until he got some limelight and started to behave like a chimp. Sadly his prior accomplishments didn't have anything to do with people starting to take notice, and really he's never been quite as impressive as he was before anyone hated him. Broner is obviously anything but smart, however he is going to bank a lot more coin being such a turd. IF his antics are just for show and he trains as hard as he would in any case, it'll only help him, and a lot. That's not to say he won't blow all of his money or wind up in jail or something, but that's a distinct possibly no matter what with people like this.

    Regardless of Floyd's antics...and the quality of his resume now vs. early in his career...he is still a tremendous fighter. Also, with Floyd...despite his "Money" persona...there is no questioning how serious he takes his craft. There is no one as disciplined and skilled as him in the fight game. He also has a much stronger foundation than Broner...having had an accomplished amatuer career and possessing incredible pedigree. Broner has been able to get by B level competition. But i am far from convinced that he can handle bigger challenges both inside and outside of the ring. We shall find out.

    For sure, I'm only coming from a marketing standpoint. If Floyd were soft spoken or humble he'd probably never have become the biggest draw in the sport, Pacquiao would've eclipsed him despite barely speaking a word of english and having 0 personality. On the same token Broner will garner a lot more attention behaving like he does regardless of how he fights. Thats why he's already probably making more money than Floyd did at a similar age despite not being nearly as good.

    Look at Andre Ward. Now I understand completely his style isn't for everyone and he can make for ugly fights, but there's no denying it hurts him financially to be civilized and respectful of his opponents. Sucks but it's just the way it is.
