After four-division world champion Adrien Broner’s victory on Friday night in Miami, “AB” and Hall of Fame Promoter Don King discussed the win with Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini.
Adrien Broner: It was everything I wanted but it wasn’t everything I needed. Right now I need some pussy. This was my first time on Don King pay-per-view, so anyone CAN get it – AfriCAN, AmeriCAN, DominiCAN – no disrespect to no law firm out there, but an attorney just got it. Anybody CAN get it.
What’s next?
Broner: Anybody with a title – I see, what’s his name? Romello? Retardo? Rolly? I like the winner of Teofimo and Josh Taylor, and whoever has a belt. I want all the belts. I don’t want just a Louis (Vuitton) belt or a Gucci belt, I want the WBA belt, the WBC belt, the WBO belt, and the IBF belt too.
Don King: Well, you know right now there is this fellow by the name of Oscar De La Hoya. He sent out a waiver and he wants to meet us so we are going to talk about it.
Broner: Let him know that if he wanna come over here, we got a fishnet for him. Come on over here and get that fishnet and I’m going to kick whoever’s ass you put in the ring with me.
King: Did you hear that Oscar baby? We’re not fooling around. We’re going to take care of business. And we got the WBC here who is going to get us a title fight. We are going to win that title, then defend that title, then unify the world, because he can do it. He was a four-time world champion before and now the best is yet to come. It’s Return to Glory.
Broner: That’s right, I want the WBC – I love the WBC. It’s green baby and that stands for the World Broner’s Championship.
The phrase “the blind leading the blind” comes to mind. Two deluded fools.
Do boxing a favor, put this clown with Regis Prograis or Subriel Matias to end this comedy
He is a big name and he has a relationship with PBC who has two champions at 140 so it probably won’t take much for him, but it’s been six years since Broner made that weight. I would think he’d at least have to show that he still could before anyone would trust him enough to schedule him in a title fight.
Big name? He can’t sell a local gym arena with 30 seats. No one is interested in watching him anymore
If you don’t like him Slim, fine. I get it; but he’s a former multiple time world champion, he’s controversial as hell and people will tune in to watch him fight (if they don’t have to pay extra for it), even if it’s just to see him lose and you know it. Stop it.
@Lucie Correct. Broner damn sure would be a draw if matched with anybody with a name i would think, and people tuning in to see him get his a$$ kicked would have a lot to do with that. Not sure why the thumbs down there…
They don’t like him USF. If you say anything even remotely positive about him SOMEONE is probably going to have a problem with it. That’s fine. Broner – Romero, Tank, Taylor/Lopez and probably about a dozen other guys between 140-147 would all do pretty nice business imo.
Lucie, when I said “Not sure why the thumbs down”, I forgot who we were talking about for a second. Yes, AB is one of 5 or 6 off the top of my head that people love to hate…
Speak for yourself!! Never wish bad on someone because Karma will haunt you in your future. I wish him the best. I hope he does well and redeem himself. Broner is a good boxer and he can be great.
Very good observation, is a tough situation for Broner because at 147 he will be murdered and if he struggles mighty to make 140 he won’t have a chance against any of the champions at 140. I see Don King feeding him with couple more lawyers before sending him to the lion den
If he’s fighting world class guys, I would think that it would have to be at 140. Like you said, he doesn’t have much chance at all against the top guys at 147, even if you take out Crawford & Spence. King said Oscar called and wanted to talk, I’m assuming Oscar would want to talk about Rocha – Broner. I don’t think that’s a close fight. I think Rocha beats Broner clearly because you know exactly what Broner would do in a fight like that. So I think his best chance would come at 140 and, again, he hasn’t made that weight in a long time and he’ll be 34 (at least) the next time he fights. I don’t think his prospects for being a world champion in his career are looking good, but we’ll see.
The biggest factor for him right now is time. He doesn’t have it. 33.
Trust and believe the titles or secondary. Broner wants to get a couple big paydays. I’m all for it he does bring excitement. Can you imagine Tank going back to 140 and fighting Broner.
Yes, definitely. Tank – Broner would definitely be an event Rodney.
Were there more than a dozen PPV buys?
Once a jerk, always a jerk.
Exactly right!!!! This fool doesn’t deserve any title shot!!! He will once again fall on his face with probably not making the weight or simply being outworked like he almost always is. He is a washed up fighter that just needs to go away!!!
Beat a few more Hutchinsons and we’ll talk.
Don is finishing up a historic career working and being suckered out of money after stealing from so many others; good for him!
Broner & Don what a one-two-punch combo. I love it. Broner always delivers on the post-fight interviews. I would love to see him and Rolly get it one. The press conferences alone would be insane. Please make this happen. The winner of Teo vs Taylor would be good also. Now that he has Don King by his side its possible.
Won’t be long before Broner implodes again….funny how a lot of Americans seem to talk the same crap,must be scripted
You mean how white Europeans like Tyson Fury talk to same crap?
Replying with skin color, lame.
Yeah,they copy the American script
There’s not enough special handling and match making that could make him undisputed. He’s got no chance at becoming unified. He’s just a gate keeper now to the top contenders at this point. Nothing personal, but I doubt he ever had the mentality to maintain at the highest levels.
Has a Kenny Powers comeback vibe to it.
imagine a Rolly Bronner press confrence…I will pay!
Broner is a has been and will never be an elite champion again. His time has passed.
Let’s see if it’s 3 months or 3 years before we see this guy in the ring again. My bet is Broner will screw up outside the ring before anyone gets a chance to kick the crap out of him inside.
If he’s serious about this, then he needs to get back in the ring every 2 to 3 months against a few tomato cans to sharpen his blade and get back into fighting shape. If he’s disciplined enough to to make that first part of the journey, he should be able to not only get a few great paydays and maybe even pull an upset.
He’s older now and is sitting on his shots more so he HAS to let his hands go without fear or he will get out hustled every time out.
This man lost every single time it mattered, as you can see from his comments not much has changed. He is all mouth no bite.
Gang gang….
I think that this may be the start of something special. If Broner really dedicates himself to the sport with the diligence, discipline, and intelligence required of a true champion, he can make some real noice and also make some good money once again. The man is a four division world champion. They can’t take that away from him. It is not easy to do, no matter who you are. I’m giving him a second chance, and I believe that he’s going to make the most of it. He needs to let “AB” stand for “About Boxing,” not “About Billions” though. It all starts with the right mind state, baby. Let’s do this, brother!!!
This PPV lost a lot of money. Don is going to take that money out of Broner’s cut. How many fighters with King ended up pushing shopping carts with their belongings in it? And Broner thinks he’s smart enough to avoid that? He’s already signed contracts with King, which mean King now owns him and all his past/future property and earnings. Idiot.
Broner looked great and I wasnt expecting it. He threw and landed some good combos and you can see why he was a champion. If he starts taking this more seriously he might get another run as champion.
I wonder if Don King used the Black Brother argument to influence Broner to sign with him. In my view, if Mike Tyson had not fallen for this ruse and stayed with a promoter who kept him active he may well have been the greatest heavyweight of all time.
Lots of replies here for someone out of favor.
Well this is last time for Broner to get s belt and king at 91 looks like he’s lost his mind when he speaks,he probably thinks he’s in the nursing home. I hope he has a different mindset or is he planning one more robbery from a fighter? Either way they both are done,Broner struggled with Hutchison but Broner will beat rolly but him and Ryan will be interesting either way Don is looking for a chance back at glory
He didn’t look good at all last night. He has a long way before he even has a chance of beating anyone he mentioned. 10 rounds with someone with no potential!!!Get real!!
God only knows how many brain cells I lost reading that. What an absolute MORON of a human being. Just another low IQ clown who can throw punches. If it weren’t for boxing he’d probably be dead or in jail like the rest of them. It’s a shame people even pay to watch this lowlife. Quit giving him money and let him rot!
When is Boxing going to be done with this Thug? His attitude and skills are both lacking. All the belts? Seriously, the only belt this clown needs is the one on his ass his momma obviously didn’t use. Don’t waste anymore of Boxings time or energy on somebody that can’t or refuses to stay out of trouble. He clearly would rather be a Career criminal than have a Boxing career. He’s simply NOT THAT GUY!
This dude is delusional! He’s done! He struggled against a lawyer who’s hobby is boxing! He was supposed to tear this guy appart in two rounds! Not even the shadow of a pre maidana bout boxer! This fight makes him looked like a crackhead desperate asking for money in a bus stop! It was so boring, after 7 rounds, I switch the channel to watch a movie instead! The othe fights were decent, though! The ring card girls were spectacular specially, the tall blonde girl with the thick thighs!
Completely agree with you. I was there live at the fight. Couldn’t get my eyes off those girls
This Broner-Don King pairing is odd and revealing. It’s odd because Don King is no longer a major player. He’s 91 now, and not long for this world. He’s worth $150 million now after scamming and taking advantage of so many fighters in the promotions. He loves the attention though, and it sustains him. He also loves to take advantage of desperate fighters, and it’s revealing because this is where Broner comes in. Broner is 33 now. Even though he’s won titles and seemed like a promising fighter at one time, he’s now a has-been and disappointment, even to himself. He’s also broke and needs Don King more than King needs him. It’s a recipe for disaster for him, and I think he is one loss away from another free fall. Once that free fall happens, he won’t find Don King there to slow the descent or lessen the impact. After this predictable win, he tells the audience he “needs some pussy”, so he’s still in a troubled state of mind. Tragic, but I don’t see a good ending for this very troubled, internally tormented young man.
The heck is he talking about?
Broner’s body looks old. what’s wrong with him? And he wants all the belts? That dude is delusional.
Lol at Broner trying to be as offensive as possible. When your fights are dry, you gotta get creative to put butts in seats.
i always felt like broner was always trying to be the next mayweather instead of trying to become a better fighter for himself. that was fine until maidana showed him how great he wasn’t. it was downhill from there and unfortunately for him it doesn’t look like he’s recovered.
Like him or not a fight with Rollie because of their styles would be competitive and entertaining to watch. Press conference would be a comedy and I think they can build that fight up enough to get some viewers. I’d watch it, not just because of the entertainment from both their personalities but I imagine their styles and egos producing a fan friendly/competitive fight.. With knockdowns
A Real Scumbag .
What’s the odds in Vegas on Broner going to jail before his next fight?
really he should fight the urge to fight in another boxing match where humans are watching for any reason whatsoever..
Lmao..why TF is he call out DLH! The only reason would be a Ryan vs Broner match up. That’s like a step back for Ryan but a name in his resume. Not that Ryan sees the A side anytime soon. Shouldn’t he be Prograis?
Broner’s a lowbrowed, feckless clown – 34 in another couple of months – he’s pipe-dreaming if he imagines that a bunch of titles wins are in store for him.
I want all the bears too but it ain’t gunna happen.
Let’s beure let this to refs again….not!
The can man , got to love the energy and catch phrases he brings.. regardless..AB never ducked just wish he let them hands go during his time… But I see the hate is real for hmmm… Stay safe and blessed bro
It’s said he can’t talk without disrespecting somebody name or talking about sex knowing his kids will be watching. He will never get endorsements or sponsorships talking and acting ignorant. Even though him and Rolly are friends. He won one fight against a nobody, and he act like he won a belt. No class or professionalism at all. Tank could have clowned Garcia for his performance. He shows he’s more polished with every big fight.
Broner needs to go sit down he’s done and will be finished after he gets knocked out.
