His story won't end well.

Nobody's fault but his. There are many fighters I root against, but him flushing money down the toilet made him one of the few fighters that I actually think DESERVES to wind up in the gutter.
Re: Adrien Broner posts $10 million ultimatum to Haymon and Showtime, wants Hearn to call
Moneys too hard to come by to disrespect it like that.If someone has that much money they definitely don't need it.
He thinks he's Mayweather but he ain't fit to tie Mayweathers shoes.I enjoyed the Maidana loss especially after his prefight shenanigans.Let Broner fight Chuck Liddell and see how that works out.
Re: Adrien Broner posts $10 million ultimatum to Haymon and Showtime, wants Hearn to call
Broner does not deserve $10 million or any other windfall.
If he can work his fists rather than his mouth maybe he'll win a few fights
and get back into the big money.
I don't think he will. He's a big bag of hot air.

I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you?

Adrien Broner still says he won’t fight for under $10 million
Recently there have been some reports and rumors that Adrien Broner would be coming back to boxing after retiring to become a full-time rapper, and in fact he even spoke directly with Brian Custer recently about those plans.
But Broner has now posted on Instagram that he’s still demanding $10 million if he’s going to get back in the ring.
“I’m not fighting if I don’t get my $10 million and I’m standing on that, so Al (Haymon) and Showtime got some shit to talk to me about, or I will stay retired,” Broner wrote, adding that he was “Dead Serious!!!!!”
The harsh reality — actually, it’s not even that harsh — is that the 31-year-old Broner simply is not getting $10 million from PBC or anyone else to fight right now. For one thing, only the true tip-top draws could get into that range or higher at this point, what with there being no live crowds and thus no live gates, and even viewership diminished on every platform or TV channel for the time being. (FOX just got over 1 million again for Ugas-Ramos, of all the fights, and Showtime, which is where Broner wants to fight, are really struggling to draw audiences for boxing right now; Lubin-Gausha averaged 150,000 viewers on Sept. 19.)
Broner (33-4-1, 24 KO) does still have some name value, but it’s diminished from the peak of his popularity/notoriety. There’s good reason for that, too, as he’s 0-2-1 in his last three, 3-3-1 in his last seven, and he doesn’t have what most people would call a really good win since 2013, depending on what you think of Paulie Malignaggi at that point, or 2012 depending what you think of Antonio DeMarco. Once touted as the future of boxing, Broner has floundered in his toughest matchups over the years. And the last time we saw him fight, he was routed by Manny Pacquiao, despite his protests that “everyone knew” he won the fight.
All of this could ultimately be a way for Broner to keep drawing headlines, but if he’s really serious, then no, he’s super not going to be fighting again any time soon, because he’s super not getting $10 million.

I don't think he even made $10 for the Pac fight.

Damaged goods and generally an assh*le. Next contestant.

Quiet mouths don’t get fed. And Broner has one of the loudest!
That’s the reason why he attracts sizable audiences and oversized purses. He’s clearly proven that sporting success isn’t a prerequisite of commercial success.

Broner had mental health issues, no doubt about it
Regardless I CANNOT stand the crap that’s put up on boxingnews24, it’s just vile. I’ve not been on there in a few years now, it’s made me wanna vomit in the past.
Broner, is just blowing smoke, he’s a wanna be rapper and desperately wants fame, for fames sake.

Has.
Getting worse by looks of it, having just checked his insta.
Feeling a little sorry for him really
Is Maidana still fat and s along fat cigars after the tremendous whopping he dished out?
