RadioOnFire.com - Adrian Broner seems to have received more than an old friend back in his life, with Floyd Mayweather taking to Instagram on Saturday morning [October 15] to share a video of himself overseeing his younger pugilist in a sparring session. On Thursday night Floyd and AB linked up for the first time in awhile, after which a recording of them joy riding through the street's of Las Vegas got out. The video was a relief to fans still concerned about Broner's mental state, following a series of Instagram posts he put up to suggest he was contemplating suicide earlier in the week.
"We got some easy work today," Floyd is shown singing in the camera, as he wraps AB's hands in preparation. The clip then cuts to Broner battering his sparring partner, as Floyd instructs him on punch selection. It is a sight that the boxing world has not seen since their falling out some years back. Adrien Broner was once considered by some to be the successor to Mayweather's throne. As he rose up the ranks, displaying the speed, snap and showmanship many had gotten accustomed to seeing from Floyd, he drew the boxing king's eye, and was taken under his wing along with a host of other talented young fighter's in The Money Team's stable. Broner would go on to win titles in four weight divisions, but at some point along the way a falling out which Mayweather long attributed to a lack of focus on AB's part, estranged the fighters. Broner would go on to lose fights to Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter, thereby losing some of his appeals along the way, but he recently rebounded with a win over Floyd's fighter, Ashley Theophane. After the fight, Broner called Mayweather with hopes of grappling with his former mentor for what would be Floyd's 50th fight.
According to reports, Floyd has taken Broner into his Vegas residence and plans to keep him in his company for the foreseeable future. Prior to Broner's breakdown, he was in talks to fight WBA Super Lightweight champion, Ricky Burns.
