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.

Khan - Broner IMO would be a good fight, I'd favour Broner but if Khan could box him he would cause problems for Broner, Khan would cause problems for any fighter but as we all know his chin might not hold up. I personally was hoping would move up to fight Garcia or Matthysse or Peterson, they would be great fights.He's ducking Khan

Re: Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title
Lol@ ducking Khan.
This is not a done deal and Broner has also stated in the same week that he wants Burns. If he cant get the Burns fight in this distorted market place they he might as well jump up into the money. That is what Mosley did, Floyd etc etc. In addition many fighters prefer the more prestigious divisions or those from the original 8. Hell I do as a fan.

Re: Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title
Schaefer on Broner-Malignaggi Being Done, Burns Not - Boxing News
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is expecting some fireworks in the ring, and during the pre-fight promotions, when Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KOs) leaves the WBC lightweight title behind and jumps up by two weight divisions to challenge Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KOs) for the WBA welterweight crown in an HBO televised main event on June 22 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
"Two real exciting talkers, two of the best talkers in the sport and I think it's really going to be an exciting fight. Each one deserves credit here. We have some media members who are picking Paulie here, saying it's too much, too soon for Broner - that Paulie is too big. And then you have others who are saying that Broner is just going to walk through Paulie. It's an evenly matched fight. Some people called me when we were thinking about that fight and were telling me 'Broner is never going to do that, Paulie is too big.' So I have to give it up to Broner for stepping up to the plate and to Paulie for taking on one of boxing's youngest and most talked about stars," Schaefer said.
There was some talk of doing Broner on June 15th against WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns, but Schaefer states that Scottish boxer missed his opportunity and also has contractual issues with current promoter Frank Warren.
"No [we are not considering Burns], because we have agreed to terms with both fighters [Broner and Malignaggi]. We have been chasing Ricky Burns for a while, offered him a lot of money and he didn't want to do it. Now he says he's a free agent but its not so easy to just hold a press conference or make a statement that you're a free agent. It doesn't work like that. I think Frank Warren thinks a bit different and Frank Warren sent me documents that clearly shows that he still has him under contract," Schaefer said.

Re: Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title
For those who hate this kid I suppose there is nothing he can do.Count me out of watching that happy horseshit, somebody else will have to do the fight/chat thread.
He's tried for Burns twice in two different weight classes.
There was hope that it could be done after Ricky split from Warren. It appears now that the split was not as clean as it seemed and that Warren may have legal standing. Burns could be in court and in limbo for the next year or more. Gamboa is on the slow boat to irrelevance.
No rule exists that he must stop at every half division along the way. If he wants to bypass 140 then so be it. He's still moving up 2 divisions to a direct title shot. Not unlike guys like Armstrong, Floyd, Manny and countless others. Yes its a trinket and I share your pain in that regard but they are all trinkets. To bad Paulie cant crack an egg yolk because his movement and speed could possibly bring Broner out of his comfort zone.

@IamInuit - That's another reason the fight is unwatchable for me, besides Pauli having no power, his fights are snoozers. Pauli vs. broner? That's a horrible matchup.For those who hate this kid I suppose there is nothing he can do.Count me out of watching that happy horseshit, somebody else will have to do the fight/chat thread.

But to tell you the truth, I just can't stand looking at broner and I won't do a fight/chat thread no-matter who he's fighting. The only broner fight I ever plan on watching is a re-play of a fight when he gets his puny ass kicked.

Broner is doing nothing different then many that have came before him.

With respect. Just because it's the same doesn't make it right or agreeable.
I'm not arguing, just stating the obvious.

Broner is hard to take, I'll be the first to admit that, I find myself thinking bad thoughts when he pulls some of his BS, but I'm looking foreward to the next thing he does to keep things stirred up.
Is he really following Floyd to SHOWTIME or doing some hardball negotiating with HBO for three or four mil a fight? There are probably some folks at HBO who are losing sleep. I hope!

Re: Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title
Broner is not fighting Floyd...EVER! They are grooming him to be the next Floyd...both repped by Al Haymon...and they are even hamming up the big bro/little bro angle in public. Not to mention...why would Broner go up against the best fighter in the world when he has not even been tested this early in his career?! He would get schooled and his people don't need that for him at this stage. As for the Paulie fight...if Malignaggi had pop in his punch...this could be an interesting fight...since Broner's defense is VERY overrated. There are better fights for Broner to make at 140...oh well.

Seriously, i'd rather attempt to fuck a cactus, then watch one of boner's fights, even with the sound muted.
