ADRIEN BRONER does not take kindly to talk of Manny Pacquiao possibly rematching Floyd Mayweather. Broner has every intention of beating Pacquiao when the two fight on January 19 in Las Vegas.
โNo disrespect but I donโt care at all about Mayweather andย Pacquiaoย or any other fights people are talking about.ย Iโm focused on Adrien Broner andย Pacquiao. Iโm focused on getting this victory.ย And then Iโm going to go to the drawing board with my team and make bigger moves,โ Broner said.
โPacquiaoโs a legend. Heโll always go down as one of the best in the boxing business. But I just feel like itโs my time to take over this sport and Iโm coming to take the throne fromย Pacquiao.
โMy dedication to the sport. People who have seen me would 100% vouch for me. I know whatโs at stake. A win overย Pacquiaoย could take my career somewhere that I can only dream of.ย So Iโve got to take it seriously and I just really feel like itโs my time.โ
He insists legal issues wonโt derail him ahead of the contest. โNo, thatโs just something Iโll take care of after the fight.ย Right now Iโm 100% focused on this fight and Iโm just ready to come to the ring January 19 and get a victory,โ he said.
Broner added, โWhere I come from, man, we barely have seen someone to come out and be at the top level where I am today.ย So thatโs why Iโm doing this for the โhood to give back hope and show the young kids that they can follow their dreams.
โThat motivates me to just go in there and do my best.ย Weโre going to go in there and get the victory.โ
