The online feud between Adrien “The Problem” Broner and retired pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather continues to escalate with each passing day. After Mayweather didn’t make a scheduled appearance at Wednesday press conference in Washington DC for Broner’s Friday’s fight against Money Team member Ashley Theophane, “The Problem” took a few verbal swipes at Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe at the conclusion of the press conference.
Upon hearing the remarks, Mayweather said in a new interview with FightHype, that Broner should be called the “snake” and he’s unsure whether the multi-division champion is a promoter or a porn-star and he’s sure Leonard Ellerbe made more money last year than he did.
Adrien Broner, his nickname is “The Problem”. I think he has a lot of problems. Adrien Broner was just an alcoholic six months ago. One thing I’m trying to find out about Adrien broner, is he a boxing promoter, is he a rapper, is he a porn star, or is he a gangster? Like I said before, “The Problem”, that’s what Adrien Broner likes to call himself, if I’m not mistaken. The problem that he really needs to focus on is his problem in Cincinnati.
I’m still trying to find out what AB stands for. Always broke? I mean, that’s what I thought AB stands for. Last year, I think Leonard made more money than Adrien Broner. He gave himself a 10-figure name: About Billions. We know he ain’t never seen 8 figures or 9 figures. He’s barely seen 7 figures. It could be safe to say that just one of my cars costs more than he made in his whole career.
Mayweather Promotions holds the record for pay-per-view and we know Adrien Broner is a free TV type of fighter. We all know super fights happen on Saturday.
I think the best name for him is not “The Problem”, it’s “Snake”. The reason why is because of this, say a snake is hurt and sick. You nurture that snake, you help that snake, you give that snake medicine, and you get that snake back to 100%. As soon as you turn your back, a snake will bite you. Basically, when everyone always went out there and said negative things about Adrien Broner, I still had his back. Always! He called me the other day and I tried to give him some positive advice, and then as soon as I’m not looking or I don’t know what’s going on, what he’d do? He’s gonna bite me in the back.
Broner is scheduled to defend his version of the super lightweight title on Friday night at against Ashley Theophane at the DC Armory. A warrant is currently out in Cincinnati for Broner stemming from a January assault and aggravated robbery charge.
