Adrien Broner: Make Numbers Right - I'll Fight Burns in The UK

By Edward Chaykovsky

Former four division world champion Adrien Broner (32-2, 24 KOs) is prepared to pack up his luggage and fly over to the UK for a showdown with Ricky Burns (41-5-1, 14 KOs) - if the money is right.

The two boxers were slated to face each other at 130-pounds, but then Burns moved up to lightweight. After Broner moved up to the lightweight division, there was more talk of them facing each other, but Burns once again moved up to junior welterweight. Broner skipped 140 and went all the way up to welterweight to capture a world title. After losing to Marcos Maidana, he dropped down to 140 to capture another world title.

Last fall, there was a lot of talk that Broner and Burns would finally collide in the early part of 2017 in Las Vegas. Their negotiations fell apart when Broner decided to go in another direction, but it's not exactly clear what prompted Broner's decision.

Broner is now scheduled to fight on February 18 against Adrian Granados, while Burns will take part in a WBA, IBO, IBF junior welterweight unification with Julius Indongo on April 15 in Glasgow.

Broner has no problem with entertaining a fight against Burns, and he's willing to give up the home advantage, if Burns' promoter Eddie of Matchroom Sport comes calling with the right financial package.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Broner said: “It’s going to be an enormous year for me and I’m at a much more positive, great stage and on a real good path now. My fight is on February 18, but before that two of my fighters, Rau’shee Warren and Robert Easter Jr, are fighting on February 10 defending world titles so big things are going on.

“I would love to face Ricky Burns and most definitely you could get me to the UK. Make my numbers right and we will have one hell of a fight.”

I don't know man, I don't confute you cause maybe you know something I don't but this one is not a proof cause Floyd said that before that pot not after

He got the MC Hammer syndrome







Dude out here LITERALLY buying Airlines and Mansions:




Just read this, and you will see why this dude is STILL fighting....http://www.businessinsider.com/how-...horts-for-40000-to-support-typhoon-victims-14


He runs through cash like a Central Park Jogger (Mariah Lynn quote)


He is basically Michael Jordan in SpaceJam after losing to the Monstars status.







Arum has that man indebted to him for the rest of his natural born life....... Arum won.

I didn't know about that

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Nothing wrong with Crawford building up his star power. Dude is a couple exciting performances over top dudes and a outspoken post fight rant away from being that dude.

If him and Broner fight now on ppv that shyt prolly does 300k

If they both get another top win or two against respectable guys and start talking shyt, that fight can do 500k if not more.

Boxers just need to get back to nationwide press tours for some of these fights to get more than just their hometowns or hardcore fans buzzing.

How can you laugh at this breh when you told me Crawford's #1 victory......was boring?


We know Crawford vs Broner is a PPV fight, but it wont sell due to people always calling Crawford boring...meaning that AB would have to carry the promotion

Also Bradley said similar to what AB said about Crawford...he just said it about Errol Spence

Will reply when home. Don't brig BATB into this breh.

Happy Bornday to Muhammad Ali !


Would like to see Lil Charlo vs Lara, at some point these guys need to unify. Plus they aren't in the same camp so it's a go. If he beats Hatley


Shakur riding with Ward and his boy Tank not really surprised it's nice to have the recognition from Floyd but most people can see the fukk shyt he be on.

At the end of day (AB voice) I'd still have Floyd in my corner, no need to pick a promoter if he had got with Al, he'd have a flexible promoter depending on the card (like Errol Spence), whether it be Schaefer DiBella Hearn etc etc.

Roc Nation don't do it

Top Rank re consider read some liter....

No, I am.


He was asked about fighting Spence and he said "for what?" then when someone said it's a payday, he responded with "fighting Errol Spence is a payday? It will be a payday for me to fight Errol Spence?". Then when informed Spence may be fighting for a title, he responds with "that don't mean nothing".


Same thing breh...he doesn't want to fight Spence because it's not a big payday for him. Same for Crawford vs AB. There's no huge payday in those 2 fighting each other, because it would be lucky to reach 150-200k ppv buys imo. Hell, KKKovelev vs SOG couldn't sell and Crawford was only able to do 50k vs Postol while AB has never even ventured into main event PPV land.


There's not a big payday in a fight between those 2, the public isn't even asking for the fight, so AB wants him to get his name up to make it a bigger fight.


Why fight each other on PPV for $2-2.25 million....when you can get $1.5 million to face the John Molina's? When you can get $1 million to face the Theophane's?


Crawford vs Broner is a great matchup, PPV type of fight, but it wont sell so nobody would put that fight together, casuals don't care about that fight, and neither does the media

Nobody clamoring for Spence/BATB, but like he said he'd fight anyone (proven). However isn't T Craw//Broner the best fight at 140 rn that lots of people want to see? Or am I mistaken? Is there another top dude at 140? Besides Burns obviously

Lipinets Awaiting Mandatory Shot at Burns vs. Indongo Winner - Boxing News

Who Crawford's gonna beat then?

He's gonna go through his opponents like a Mortal Kombat ladder asking "who necks"

 

[Black_Jesus]

Dude got $1.5 million to face Jessie Vargas, but wants $20 million GUARANTEED for Crawford




^^^Note that Arum is saying those type of gurantees ($20 mill) are no longer an option for TT, due to the fact that the Bradley fight performed so poorly on PPV




Then he goes out and spends $1 mill on tickets HIMSELF, in order to not make the venue look as empty as it would have had he not purchased half the seats (), then after all the numbers came back.....................he ended up only making $1.5 million dollars, which means the PPV didn't sell at all


But yet he doesn't need AB



Broner got $1 million to face Theophane The Bum.

Crawford got $1.5 million to face Sugar John Molina.

Garcia got $1.5 million to face Ghost.

Thurman got $1.5 million to face Collazo.

Pacquiao got $1.5 million to face Vargas.

nikka in here telling straight

It's the best fight.....but who's clamoring for Broner/Crawford breh?



Nobody in the boxing media, and you are on twitter just as much as I am, aint no fans asking for it either.
