Perhaps even Adrien Broner wouldn’t have thought of the course his Instagram message would eventually take. The former world champion, in all earnestness, shared a few details suggesting legal counsel for varied issues. It featured a short video as well. But after watching its content, perhaps many fans and followers were left with only doubts. A few of their comments touched on almost everything. Only the very purpose—the reason why the clip was put up in the first place—emerged unscathed.

Fans last saw ‘About Billions’ on June 9 last year, when he fought Bill Hutchinson in Miami. As per available accounts, he is expected to make a return next month against Blair Cobbs. Through his Instagram handle, he spoke about the aid provided by a law firm. Tagging their Instagram account, he said, “@pondlehocky is the real deal and taking cases right now. Any case and any state.

Scene I: The Fight

The first sequence of the attached video shows what an airport lounge looks like. A man and a woman had seemingly picked up a fight. A person wearing a black t-shirt and light-colored shorts tries to reign in the man (in a maroon/brown jacket and Gatsby cap). However, the woman comes from behind, slaps the latter, and runs away. The man with the cap gives chase and catches her soon near the doorway. Both go down on the floor. As they get up, the woman tries to sneak out fast but receives a quick hit from the guy. Thankfully, others standing nearby rush in, preventing the situation from going out of control.

A representative from the legal firm then turns up in the next sequence. “You never know when you’re going to need a lawyer. If you’re ever in a car accident, hurt at work, or just need some legal advice, DM me and I’ll review your case for free.

It’s difficult to make out whether the first sequence of the fight was purely promotional or taken from some real-life incident.

Scene II: The Narrative Twist

However, followers who joined in with their comments found it rib-tickling for an altogether different reason.

Laughing out loud, this user pointed out that the way the man wearing the Gatsby cap rolled was way too smart and clever. “The roll that he did after he tackled her. That was smooth,” said the user. Then the next one quipped that the fighting man was probably trying a hand at a defensive drill while at the airport. “That man doing defensive end drills in the airport,” they said.

The next follower simply stated that the person in the heat of the fight was undoubtedly an NFL defensive lineman: “NFL defensive lineman right there.” The follower who came next echoed similar views. Going a bit technical, they said the way the man swiped his hand, stopped, dropped, and then moved following a quick swipe was highly impressive, confirming his position as a defensive end. The follower said, “Definitely a defensive end; his arm swipe stop, drop, swipe, and take move is LT-worthy; the RT tackle had no chance.

Then this user held a slightly different view. According to them, considering the way he tackled the woman, it’s apparent that the man must have had experience as a linebacker during his high school days. “The way how he tackled her, he must’ve played as a linebacker in football in high school,” the user said.

Surely, the comments took off into a new arena far removed from the legal hassles of everyday life.

However, it should be appreciated how someone is willing to extend help for free. The issues highlighted remain fairly common, but often create problems and prevent a person from carrying out day-to-day responsibilities. An expensive legal consultation might be beyond the means of most. Hence, under such circumstances, support such as the one mentioned in the promotion goes a long way in dealing with a tough situation.
