Adrien Broner
Boxer, Adrien Broner, has been suspended by the WBC
for offensive racial remarks he made about Carlos Molina, after
their bout on the Mayweather v. Maidana undercard in Las Vegas,
Nevada on May 3, 2014. Broner won the fight and issued an ungracious
speech calling himself the “CAN Man” stating he is an AfriCAN
AmeriCAN” who “beat the f*** out of a MexiCAN.” As stated previously
on the Judiciary Report, Broner’s comments were disgraceful and
distasteful [

should apologize for his racially insensitive statements. He later
did, but not soon enough, as the WBC suspended him. He is
banned from the listings and all activities.
Broner needed a wake up call, sadly it happened at
the expense of Molina and others, who were offended by his
statements. For several months the Judiciary Report has been stating
Broner is living recklessly, squandering his sporting talent and
needs to rein in his wild behavior. Months later Broner’s mentor,
Floyd Mayweather, went public with statements indicating he has
repeatedly told his protégé that he needs to get his act together.
Broner is young and rich and some singers, actors and athletes from
all over the world, have trouble adjusting to fame and wealth and
the responsibilities that come with it.
Even before this incident that led to Broner’s
suspension the Judiciary Report wrote, “Broner needs guidance and a
makeover. Not his looks, but his lifestyle and mindset. He seems
lost at times, even overwhelmed. You’re a millionaire. Spend the
time and money to expand your mind and horizons. Read more books to
gain knowledge and increase your understanding of the world we live
in. Watch documentaries about politics and world history. Stop
wasting your time on fruitless things that are deteriorating your
life and career” (

Enough).
It was a sincere plea for Broner to become more
serious, composed and sophisticated. It’s not a matter of being
bourgeoisie. The mere fact of the matter is once you become rich and
famous, if you are not smart about it and adopt and more mature and
sensible worldview, it will destroy you. Many newly rich and famous
people have fallen due to this.
Broner has filmed himself in threesomes, running
around his house naked, burning money, wiping his butt with U.S.
currency and issuing detrimental quotes that have damaged his name.
None of this is appropriate or helpful behavior. If you do not
understand how to manage your money, you will be robbed and taken
advantage of by some on your team, in your personal circle and or
con artists. If you do not know how to handle yourself and are
lacking media training, you will issue disastrous quotes (as Broner
did).
If you are promiscuous, you will contract sexually
transmitted disease and sire children you are unable to mentally,
emotionally or financially take care of, greatly damaging your
offspring‘s lives and giving them serious issues in the process.
With fame and wealth comes responsibility and Broner needs someone
to sit him down and get these points through to him before he
self-destructs. You have to learn to grow.
You can be a tough and formidable boxer without
saying and doing things that hurt others. There’s nothing wrong with
humility and being nice to people. At the end of the day, I want to see Broner pull
things together and become the better man I know he can be. I don’t
think he means harm, he’s just in over his head and is overwhelmed
by the fame and money he has accumulated. He has athletic talent and
is in a position to do a lot of good and he should commit his time
to fulfilling his true potential.
