The footage and sentencing drew strong opinions from social media users. Here is what some had to say:
@LastKingMal wrote: "Having enough money and influence/power to do whatever you want in life has to be an insane feeling like the only person that can stop you is actually you."
@carternguessan pushed back at the coverage: "Sky, do us a favor n make a post where you tell people to genuinely stop messing with Chris Brown. He didn't just react out of Nowhere. So please just !!. Never knew new broadcasters can be this STUPID!"
@Im_K1992 questioned the outcome: "Smashing glass bottles over someone's head & you get a suspended sentence. The rich carry on getting away with things. A normal person is going to jail for 2-3 years there."
@SteveKingsleyy was dismissive of the case: "So basically a fight? Lmfao yall wasting resources on club rights now."
@Elda67169243 added: "So basically a fight? I see why he got handed a suspended sentence. He's also beating his co defendant in the head missing his target. 💀"
