Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Withdraws From Omar Figueroa Clash, Citing Mental Health; Rest Of Showtime Card To Move Forward

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Adrien Broner will no longer appear on this weekend's previously announced Showtime quadrupleheader. The former four-division titlist took to his verified Instagram account to confirm his official withdrawal from a planned junior welterweight clash with Texas' Omar Figueroa. The battle of ex-titleholders was due to headline a four-fight Showtime Championship Boxing telecast from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida but will no longer include the Cincinnati native. "Man, I'm going [through] a lot at this moment in my life, but I ain't go give up," Broner stated Monday morning on social media. "I set some more goals and I finish what I started but sorry to say this but I'm not fighting August 20th."

Uggh, 1st it was Cryan Ryan and now Broner. I sure hope this doesn’t become a trend.

Absolutely Bonkers.

Well...ok. But seemed like he needed the money.

Suicide watch this guy.

The fight is this weekend, and he pulls this shxt. Showtime is probably happy they get to save the money they were gonna pay him.

This is a hard one. If it truly is mental health issues than nothing bad to say, I hope he takes care of himself first and foremost. That being said the conspiracy theorist in me can't help but think this is a weight issue.......

I was more interested in the other 3 fights anyway! Feel bad for Omar though!

We know this is get-back at Al Haymon for having your press conference ''on a computer''.
