Adrien Broner: ‘Manny Pacquiao needs me’

Adrien Broner

ADRIEN BRONER has a fight booked in against Adrian Granados on February 18 in Cincinnati. But he maintains he would be the most appealing opponent for Manny Pacquiao.

โ€œHe needs me,โ€ Broner insisted. โ€œWhat did he get paid for his last fight?

โ€œI just know the status of me and a fight like Pacquiao. I know what it would do. It would do crazy numbers. At this point most definitely I feel like the biggest fight for me in boxing is Manny Pacquiao.โ€

He was unimpressed at the concept of Pacquiao fighting Australian Jeff Horn. โ€œI donโ€™t even know who that guy is, no disrespect to him. Iโ€™ve never seen him fight. But if he got the chance to fight Manny Pacquiao heโ€™s obviously not a bum, but at the end of the day we all know what a fight with Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner would do. So they need to stop dragging their feet and make it happen,โ€ Broner said. โ€œI told everyone make the numbers right and we have a fight.โ€

He seemed confident that he would defeat Pacquiao. โ€œI have the ability to beat anybody. Itโ€™s just up to me. As long Adrien Broner is on top of his a game nobody beats me,โ€ he said. โ€œI have a lot of years left in boxing and the big fights have yet to come for me. My biggest fight right now will probably be a Pacquiao right now. But then youโ€™ve still got boxing after that. Iโ€™ve still got the Danny Garcias, the Keith Thurmans, a rematch with Shawn Porter.

โ€œI got a long career yet.โ€
