Boxing star Adrien Broner recently lashed out at Jay Z and Roc Nation Sports for their offer of a five-year, $40 million contract. Speaking with TMZ Sports about the deal and his decision to turn it down, Broner explained why he felt slighted by the offer.
“I mean, you know, they sent an email whatever,” he started. “You know, Jay Z didn’t do it literally. They shot the email or whatever, I wasn’t happy with it. The capacity of the contract was $40 million for five years, that’s just bullshit.”
“I mean, it is what it is,” he added. “At the end of the day, I felt disrespected. If you gon’ come to me and tell me that I’m gonna fight two times a year getting $8 million a year for five years straight. You got me fucked up. I’m not old. I’m scheduled to fight four times this year.”
Asked to provide his own annual salary requirements, Broner went on to tell Jay Z to “stop sending your workers to come talk to me.”
“I mean, I don’t want to shoot no numbers out there,” he said. “Like I wanted to tell him, and hopefully this get to him, stop sending your workers to come talk to me. I’m a boss, man. Bosses talk to bosses.”
At the end of the interview, when asked if he considered the deal a possibility of getting closer to Roc Nation singer Rihanna, Broner said, “Man, fuck Rihanna.”
“No disrespect,” said. “Listen man, Rihanna ain’t gon’ make me no dollars. She don’t make no dollars for me. At the end of the day she gon’ give me some pussy and that’s it.”

Ain’t nobody paying big PPV $ to see this overrated POS. Nigga = beat a real fighter. Lucky they offered u that much
That was chump change after taxes! Broner can make way more than that doing what he does now, he would make no money off the gate only 5 mil and he must pay his corner and taxes he risk his life for about a million bucks or less ,Jay z aint shit for that wack ass deal, Big ups to Broner for being smart
For a person who’s had 30 fights in they career is only worth $3 million umm $40 millions for 5 years that’s basically $8 million a year for two fights…C’mon people need to get over the egos. He feels he’s a boss and Jay Z suppose to come to him directly, Gtfoh
This guy aint even worth 5 bucks
lol
Idk if him or Boosie more ignorant. Broner say some of the dumbest shit and make Mayweather look humble
what did he say that was so ignorant..that “just because its a jay z brand that im gonna settle for less than whats fair” or “some used up celebrity chick gonna play a part in a BUSINESS desicion”. thats the smartest thing ive heard a athelete say in quite a while
Broner is overrated and thinks he’s a much bigger draw than he actually is. 40 Mil is what RocNation thinks Broner is worth and he should take the 40 Mil and run, since he probably won’t make anywhere near that in his whole career. Dude is good at running his big mouth and hasn’t even fought anyone good except for Maidana and he lost that fight. True clown in the boxing game.
