Can't stand Broner. It's not even an image thing, he's just a twat of the highest order. No respect for anybody, hasn't even made the Mayweather dollars yet. Floyd didn't become Money until he was actually on Pay Per View. I hope Malignaggi gives him a boxing lesson, fat chance though.

The writer of that article has his tongue right up Broner's crack, doesn't he? When he says:

I noted a lot of people on Twitter were aghast. I can say this as someone who's been around athletes and artists that this isn't uncommon behavior. And as far as boxing goes, the sport's greatest figures (Ali, Johnson, Dempsey etc.) have also been womanizers/promiscuous. And some of their personal predilections tilt to the bizarre side, as evidenced by Oscar De La Hoya's cross-dressing exploits.
Well, sure, those guys may have been promiscuous, but that doesn't legitimise what Broner did. There's also a WORLD of difference between dressing up in women's skimpies and full-on eating out some stripper skank in public.

As for this bit:

Broner's a flashy 23 year old bachelor (with a gang of kids), is coming into a lot of money quickly, and is in the age of big social media where nothing misses the camera. This type of fuckery is to be expected from him
Reminding us that while Broner's out acting like a classless jackass, he's meant to be a role model to his kids, and that's without mentioning his other half. 'It's to be expected from him'? Well, yeah, 'cause the guy's a prize prick, it seems.

the first quote hes simply pointing out the other famous boxers that where known for being promiscuous , hes not trying to legitimize anything, and what he pointed out is relevant to story of broner getting freaky on stage with a stripper...

and for the second quote i dont know where you think the writer said broner was suppose to be a role model lol hes simply saying with all the social media out there watching, like camera phones etc this sort of video showing broner acting out isnt surprising...

i think you misunderstood the whole article pal...

Adrien Broner has today released a video of himself flushing money down the toilet. Literally, that's not a euphemism. In the video, Broner and his crew can be seen driving through Miami to their hotel where he is filmed on his balcony counting hundred dollar bills.

"I don't take change back!" Broner announces to camera. "If it ain't Benjamin…or Franklin…or-Benjamin Franklin? I don't carry it!"

Throwing the hundred dollar bills to the floor around him he tells us that "This is for today! We gon' drop it. We don't count what we spend!"

But what's this? Horror of horrors, Broner has run across a denomination other than Benjamin or Franklin in his bankroll!

"Aw hell naw! Mothefucker got me! And there's three of 'em!"

He flashes the three twenty dollar bills to the camera in apparent, yes, surprise.

"Let me show you what I do to these little motherfuckers right here," he tells us, moving back into the apartment from the balcony, "I don't keep these bills!"

To the surprisingly tiny bathroom we go where Broner lectures us on the conduct of a gentleman before tearing sixty dollars in to twenty pieces and flushing them down the toilet. "Motherfuckers had to sneak into my pocket!"

Celebritynetworth.com says Broner is worth $1million. The same site says Floyd Mayweather is worth $115 million. Perhaps someone ought to point out this difference to Broner-and remind him that boxers even more talented than he is have ended up with nothing.

I personally can't decide if Broner has done something very smart or very dumb. On the one hand, he has filmed himself apparently committing what I believe to be a felony-a law that is enforced by the secret service, no less. The maximum penalty is a six-month prison sentence. Filming yourself breaking the law is usually a dumb thing to do.

Additionally, although this video has yet to go wide I get the sense that it will. Even with limited distribution it's generating a lot of hate. Choice quotes from the YouTube video linked below this article include "I hope you die in the ring" and "u making it hard for other young black men." Broner may be crossing the line given the current state of America's economy and, as another YouTube poster comments, "given all the starving children in the world."

On the other hand, I suspect that this sixty dollars, presuming it is real and not fake money, will pay for rather more publicity in terms of dollar value. If Broner believes no publicity is bad publicity he could be onto a winner.

And maybe he's aware of the macro-economic rule that says destroying money has no overall effect on the amount of money in circulation because that money becomes slightly more valuable to compensate for the loss.

Maybe.

What a bell end.
