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.

โ€œNo disrespect but I donโ€™t care at all about Mayweather andย Pacquiaoย or any other fights people are talking about.ย  Iโ€™m focused on Adrien Broner andย Pacquiao. Iโ€™m focused on getting this victory.ย  And then Iโ€™m going to go to the drawing board with my team and make bigger moves,โ€ Broner said.

โ€œPacquiaoโ€™s a legend. Heโ€™ll always go down as one of the best in the boxing business. But I just feel like itโ€™s my time to take over this sport and Iโ€™m coming to take the throne fromย Pacquiao.

โ€œMy dedication to the sport. People who have seen me would 100% vouch for me. I know whatโ€™s at stake. A win overย Pacquiaoย could take my career somewhere that I can only dream of.ย So Iโ€™ve got to take it seriously and I just really feel like itโ€™s my time.โ€

Adrien Broner

He insists legal issues wonโ€™t derail him ahead of the contest. โ€œNo, thatโ€™s just something Iโ€™ll take care of after the fight.ย Right now Iโ€™m 100% focused on this fight and Iโ€™m just ready to come to the ring January 19 and get a victory,โ€ he said.

Broner added, โ€œWhere I come from, man, we barely have seen someone to come out and be at the top level where I am today.ย So thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m doing this for the โ€˜hood to give back hope and show the young kids that they can follow their dreams.

โ€œThat motivates me to just go in there and do my best.ย Weโ€™re going to go in there and get the victory.โ€
