It isn’t often boxing fans are happy with Adrien Broner but perhaps the brash American is starting to win some of them over after his press conferences with Manny Pacquiao this week.
At one point in a media scrum in LA this week Broner responded to media criticism urging the media to keep doing what they do and hoping that he can win some of them over in time.
During the LA press conference Pacquiao was handed his WBA welterweight title at one point to which Broner responded with the following:

It seems to have gone down well with plenty of boxing fans overall:
