‘I Was Like That at One Particular Time’: Adrien Broner Declining Floyd Mayweather’s ‘Grueling’ Offer Left 50–0 Boxer Reminiscing About Legend Sugar Ray Leonard’s Advice Once
Follow Us
Floyd Mayweather, the pound-for-pound king, has been one of the most polarizing boxing personalities in history. He wasn’t just a great fighter; he also knew how to sell a fight. Mayweather was known for mocking his opponents in and outside the ring, which made him popular among fans. Yet another boxer desired to be ‘Money’ both inside and beyond the ring by speaking in the same vicious and razor-sharp manner as Mayweather.
Back in the day, Adrien Broner, a former boxing champion, was establishing himself in the sport. And defeating his erstwhile idol Floyd Mayweather would open the way for him to attain that aim. Mayweather once reminisced about telling Broner to team up with him to help promote his 2013 fight against Canelo Alvarez, so the latter could learn something from the ‘grueling’ tour. Nevertheless, Broner rejected the suggestion.

Mayweather stated, “Sometimes when you’re young, can’t nobody tell you nothing. I was like that at one particular time.”
Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard once became enraged at the ‘Pretty Boy’ because he disregarded some advice from Leonard. Now that a younger Broner is making the same error as him, Mayweather is able to make sense of it.

While talking about why he is upset with Mayweather, Broner stated, “If I were Floyd, I’d know I’d never have to fight again. That exhibition, me being his little brother, would give us a lot. ‘Hey, little brother, we’re going 10 rounds and we’re both going to generate over $100 million for that. We’ll never have to box again.’”
