In a different role than his usual one as boxing's pound-for-pound king, President of Mayweather Promotions Floyd "Money" Mayweather helped run the press conferences alongside Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe. Mayweather had this to say about being on the other side of the table for Saturday's fight between Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter.
"Mayweather Promotions has always done record-breaking numbers and our ultimate goal is to find the next Floyd Mayweather. With all of the talent out there, it will soon happen. I want all of the fighters out there to keep working hard, stay focused and know that there is no limit to what you can do. With all the media here talking to him, it's obvious that Adrien is doing something right. He's entertaining and people like it. There's no limit to how far Adrien Broner can go in this sport. He can fight. I'm in the gym with him and he's boxing top guys. He's pushing himself. Shawn Porter is a really solid competitor. It's not an easy task for Adrien, he's going to have to fight. Mayweather Promotions wants to continue to work with all fighters and help build their careers so that they can get to that top level."
