I remember the card presentation stamped with Mayweather Promotions and AB, I hadn't seen any of that for this fight but then again they just settled in the venue

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by About Billions Promotions and Mayweather Promotions in association with TGB Promotions, are priced at $250, $100, $75, $50 and $30, not including applicable fees, and are on sale today at 3 p.m. ET. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

"This is going to be a great fight and a great step forward for our company," said Ravone Littlejohn, CEO of About Billions. "Cincinnati appreciates when Adrien fights at home. Boxing provides a thrill that exceeds other professional sports in our area."

"Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to co-promoting another event with About Billions, as Adrien Broner looks to put on a big show in his hometown of Cincinnati," said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "We're anticipating a big crowd to support Adrien as he takes on the very tough Adrian Granados, in addition to the exciting undercard bouts that should make this a great night of boxing at Cintas Center and live on SHOWTIME."

"Adrian Granados has demonstrated his skill and his ability to compete in this sport multiple times," said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. "This is proven with his record of huge upsets. I am confident that February 18 will be no different. It will be another win and another big upset."

Its because the hardcore heads shyt on his opposition....and JOINED the casuals in bashing AB.

If his opposition wasn't talked down upon, there is no way I would've had as many debates in this thread alone about AB's resume:mjpls:

Let's not act like hardcore heads weren't bashing him even before he ever took an L....and the reason was because of his opposition that everyone talked down on.

Exactly

Hell, weren't we just defending Broner's resume like 2 weeks ago or some recent shyt like that.

i bet you if tank wins then floyd will be all up in the video and shyt talmbout TMT and how he loves like tank like a little brother and proud how he helped him became champ lol

Didn't he do that with Tank already, ain't he fighting for a title arguably before he's due...I see Floyd showing Jack plenty of love he just needs to handle his bidness.

What does B+ mean to you?:mjpls:

To me, it means that you're a really good fighter with the potential to look great on certain nights or against certain opponents:yeshrug:

if we have A- category then we agree if there's only A then what you said is B for me but otherwise I guess we agree on him then... :manny:
still... we argue about Broner time to time, I guess then we value some other fighters around Broner differently.

Adrien Broner vs Adrian Granados official for February 18

Adrien Broner and Adrian Granados have made official their fight for February 18 at the Cintas Center on the campus of Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, which will air live on Showtime at 9 pm ET.

Broner (32-2, 25 KO) hasn’t fought since his April 1 win over Ashley Theophane, a performance that didn’t exactly draw rave reviews. The outspoken 27-year-old fighter, who has won world titles in four weight classes, is not in easy this time, either, as he takes on Granados (18-4-2, 12 KO), a scrappy Chicago fighter whose record does not reflect his ability or his relentless style.

Broner says he’s not taking Granados lightly, particularly after the world saw the underdog upset top ranked prospect Amir Imam in late 2015.

“I’m back at home and excited to get back in the ring,” said Broner. “I’m ready to fight. The boxing game isn’t the same without me. Granados is a solid guy who beat someone that no one thought he would beat. I know him well and I know there’s no doubt he’ll be ready to fight.”

Granados, 27, only fought once in 2016, beating club fighter Ariel Vasquez in July. It hasn’t been easy for him to find fights after beating Imam, but he’s got a big shot against Broner.

“I’m fully prepared to go to war with Adrien Broner on February 18 in Cincinnati,” said Granados. “I’m very thankful to Tom Brown of TGB promotions and my manager Andy Zak for helping me get this big opportunity on Showtime. I’m training hard and I will come out victorious on fight night.”

The undercard has not yet been formally announced, but it is expected that three world title fights will be featured, including Gary Russell Jr vs Oscar Escandon (WBC featherweight), Jermell Charlo vs Charles Hatley (WBC junior middleweight), and David Avanesyan vs Lamont Peterson (WBA “world” welterweight), plus a light heavyweight showdown between prospect Marcus Browne and Thomas Williams Jr.

If he really pulls off this card though... He might be a promising promoter :ehh:

Yep and ESPECIALLY around the Paulie Malignaggi fight, when you made your :whew: posts backing up AB in here with me vs the slander in here bc Broner supposedly "lost" to Paulette:mjlol:, all people were doing was hating on AB's resume.

And yeah, it's like every 1-2 months at this point in here, we have to go over AB's opposition:heh:

Crawford fought 3 times

AB once

Swift twice

Swift took a paycut for the Vargas fight to get his tune up....Crawford got 1.5 for fighting Molina :russ:


Crawford did the best thing for himself N his family staying with TR And staying at 140
I imagine AB is making a shyt load of promoter cash.

Crawford listened to BATB, and stayed with the cash. Even though PBC be sliding brehs cash on the side. I also think TR fighters get a monthly stipend.

Yup. The caping nikkas were doing for Paulie in that Broner fight was just :scust:

I've never seen a guy get so much credit for missing punches or hitting shoulders and arms. Paulie outworked dude for like the 1st 4 rounds, and then proceeded to get swept the rest of the fight by repeatedly getting his head snapped back by vicious counters.

Fight is identical to Swift vs Ghost when you think about it. Once the elite talent downloaded that nikkas CPU commands, he administers a beatdown. :mjlol:

Confiscate ya belt and ya girl in ya own city....
Take that, Take that, the boxing P Diddy........... :takedat:

There are A- fighters...Sergey Kovalev at LHW is an example of one.

u don't think he should leave for haymon next time his contract up?

I heard haymon manager fees is only 10 percent but arum/duva/etc in em take 50 pecent.
Standard managers fee is 10%, Arum/Duva/Hearn etc. take 50% b/c they're promoters. I'm sure PBC splits the promoters fee 25% to who's actually doing the promoting (Dibella/AB/TMT) and Haymon/
