Two weeks ago at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Last Vegas, Shawn Porter handed Adrien Broner the second loss of his professional career. Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs) had hoped to catapult himself into a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) on September 12th at the MGM Grand.

Porter's hopes were dashed when Mayweather rejected his advance and advised him to face Errol Spence on the pay-per-view undercard. Porter has no interested in fighting on the undercard, he wants Floyd in the main event.

Kenny Porter, father and trainer, is not surprised by Mayweather's position. He says Mayweather has avoided young black fighters, in their prime, for his entire career. Mayweather has mentioned Andre Berto and Karim Mayfield as the candidates for September.

“We want Floyd,” Kenny told hustleboss.com. “Floyd doesn’t want nothing to do with us and I fully understand. Floyd would never fight a young black African American in his prime. He never has. He doesn’t have any on his fight record. He would have never stepped to ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley when ‘Sugar’ Shane was 25, 26 years old.  He would have never fought Oscar De La Hoya [in his prime]. Andre Berto [in his prime], Paul Williams; I can name them, all down the line."

“Floyd picks who he wants to fight and he already said he doesn’t want nothing to do with Shawn."
