Offering AB 8 million a year flat? :camby:


Plus, we taking Floyd's spot with Haymon when he retires....can't mess that up:yeshrug:
:rudy: AB ain't Floyd B. And already got an L. There is no mysterious around whether or not he can be beat and no arch-rival to pitch either. He was supposed to take that 8 mil a year and run because he wont be seeing that any time soon. Highest purse was 1.2 million and he lost that fight.

He didnt take the money and on top of that was disrespectful to what could be the next great boxing promotion company.

What do you mean?

So, if Broner took that contract but continued winning and eventually picked up titles while becoming a PPV attraction, you're telling me it would've been a good deal still? :shaq2:

No:ufdup:

Broner is betting on himself and a 8 million per year fight contract (because Jay would only schedule him two fights a year while Broner intends on fighting at least 3x a year) wouldn't be enough if he gets to where he expects. ..a PPV fighter.

And Floyd doesn't make his money because he's only undefeated:camby:

He makes his money because he's the best in the sport...plus he has tons of haters. Adrien Broner is a draw who brings in a million views almost every single fight out STILL, even after the loss to Maidana.

And 1.2 million is his career high????

He got 1.5 million to fight Paulie, 1.25 million to fight Carlos Molina, and 1 million to fight Emmanuel Taylor....I don't know exactly how much he got against Maidana, but I'm sure it was at least 2 million and ALL the fights were on regular cable accept against Molina. To just ignore what he could earn as a PPV attraction is nieve...especially since he has the 2nd most haters in the sport who still tune in (obviously by the views he gets every time out) to see him lose, even though he's lost already.

:beli:

Floyd mainly makes money because he's undefeated.

Even before Floyd became a PPV attraction, he wasn't making 8 million a year. It was more in the range of 1-4 million a fight.

Broner isn't and probably will never be the best in the sport. The talent is there, but everything else is not for whatever reason. AB doesn't have the same glamour that he had before he took the L against Maidana. Like it or not breh, being undefeated goes a long way.

Add to the fact that Floyd's haters have and have had in the past the thirst to see him lose. Im talking since the fight with Chico, and he had Manny helping him sell himself to the public. That footage of Broner and Maidana will always exist. There is no mystery around whether or not he can be beat. He can be beat.

Broner isn't the next PPV star. Not because he isn't talented enough, but because he isn't charismatic enough, and even with the amount of haters Floyd has, dude is still pretty charasmatic and has die hard fan-boys, which Broner does not. I like Broner, because I understand that culture, but for the most part dude is pretty unlikeable. :manny:

Also, PBF was all for joking and clowning for the hype, for the fight he was all bidness. Once he got in the ring, all that joke shyt went out the window and he was focused, and had laser accuracy.

5 years from now, Turning down this 40 million is either going to look like a brilliant move by Broner, or an idiotic one, and honestly Im rolling with the latter.
