I think NBC just wants Broner not do anything to destroy the network and it is a 50-50 chance that might happen.
But according to Broner they have bigger plans for him now that he & Al Haymon are coming to NBC.
“It’s bringing the world back into boxing,” Broner said. “Right now, boxing only reaches out to certain people. That’s why certain people, when I walk around, don’t know me. They might know me from certain antics I do, but they don’t know me from boxing. With NBC coming back, it’s people that don’t follow boxing that can come back into boxing. This is definitely great for the sport, and they want me to be the LeBron of boxing.
“… This is what they needed. They needed me, and I needed NBC. It’s ‘AB’ on NBC. I’m definitely ready to put on a great show for NBC. It’s my time. Think about it, Showtime had [approximately] 21 million [subscribers] and NBC got 115 million. It’s the biggest outlet.”
Broner will be the co-headliner on the March 7th debut event.
