Former world champion in four categories, American Adrien Browner (34-4-1, 24 KOs) is incredibly happy that he changed Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Championa company to newcomers to the BLK Prime market, where he is now going to revive his career and return to the ring on February 25 in a duel against Ukrainian Ivan Redkach.
According to the scandalous boxer, PBC did not want to satisfy his traditionally immodest financial requests, while new friends met with open arms.
“The contract I got (at PBC) had nothing to do with the current realities in this sport,” says Broner. — Other fighters take hard fights for some crumbs, and BLK Prime gave me a lot of money. I’m just blessed and grateful and I’m ready to put on a show.”
“No disrespect to Al (Haymon) or PBC and (Showtime Sports CEO Steven) Espinosa. But they said, “OK, for the money you want, you have to go out and fight Godzilla. We’ll pay you, but you have to fight Godzilla.” And the guy from BLK Prime says to you: “Okay, we will pay you three times as much, and you can choose any opponent for yourself.” Moreover, you get 40% of PPV sales. And already on Monday. You don’t wait six months for the numbers to come out. Not eight or twelve months. Monday. This is simply unheard of, ”Adrien is not overjoyed at her transition to a new company.
