I will tell you this Broner is a cool guy. If you go out with him he picks up the check all the time. No kidding. He is very loved by Al and Floyd and Co but dude basically too stubborn. Even his pops can't talk him outta trouble sometimes. I wish there was a 24 7 for Broner so you guys could see the petty stuff he fights people on. Even his diet and schedule are an issue. It's just you can't tell where his focus is on at times.

When he's on point and focused and sober dude is like a completely different guy.
It seems like he is a guy who can't leave his past life behind. You have to realize you are a business now. Broner turned his potential into star power and has million dollar pay days steadily in front of him. At that point you don't have to leave your past life, but you have to adjust and make decisions to protect yourself. You can still be part of where you came from and avoid the shyt that will actually get you in trouble. Dude needs to find that balance. I think my largest fear for the Broner story is when his talent is no longer needed he won't have those paydays to fall back on. Life will become a much bigger hustle to keep up. Be wiser now, so you don't have to struggle later.

I think everyone is worried about Floyd going broke, but Floyd seems too smart for that. He spends a lot of money, but it seems like he is smart enough to know what he has to do to keep that lifestyle. The Broner story (Pacquiao too) likely will have bad endings. When you can't hustle million dollar pay days and haven't been smart with it when you had it, what do you do? :sadcam:

Canelo says, who has GGG fought, fight someone else so you can fight me.
Khan says, if I beat Canelo, then I need to heavily consider fighting GGG.
:jbhmm:

If you want to fight above 154 and hold onto a MW belt, we all know who you need to see. You will have fought Khan and Cotto, both bigger names than GGG. Fair. After that there is no one else who is a bigger name. Unless you want to drag Pacquiao up who doesn't even come in at 147. But we'll give you that, he is the biggest name out there. Still leaves May, 2017 with your next biggest name and biggest challenge.
:ufdup:

Khan wouldn't have a choice...he would have to agree to fight GGG immediately (within 15 days of winning) or be stripped.


As far as Canelo's options? He could always rematch Cotto at 155 too with the Lineal Middleweight Championship on the line:sas1:



Remember, GGG can have all the organization titles, but without the Lineal Championship, he'd never be The Man at Middleweight. That title will stay belong to Canelo:sas2:

I think it could do 300-400k on PPV right now...but down the line it could double that
