Ryan Burton catches up with Argentine puncher Marcos Maidana to discuss his upcoming fight with undefeated WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner.

Luis Sandoval catches up with WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner during the afternoon, and then later at night. Broner discusses a potential fight with Marcos Maidana, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul Alvarez, and more.

A fight between Adrien Broner and Marcos “Chino” Maidana is being worked on to happen December 14th in Las Vegas, NV at the MGM Grand but both men almost fought before the contracts were signed as they had an altercation at the Thursday night Fox Sports fights. Both men had been going back and forth on Twitter the past couple weeks and things got physical when they ran into each other. I spoke to Maidana’s manager Sebastian Contursi after the incident to get an explanation as to what happened. Contursi informed BoxingScene that Maidana was upset at Broner for referring to him in a derogatory manner using a gay slur on Twitter. Maidana had told Broner that he would confront him on the weekend of September 14th to see if he would make the same comment in person. The always cool and calm Maidana went up to Adrien to confront him as Adrien was with Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. According to Contursi, Broner put his hand on Maidana’s shoulder and Maidana then slapped Broner’s hand down as things escalated and got physical as both men pushed each other. Contursi himself was surprised at Maidana’s reaction but it was fueled due to the comment made by Broner.

Welterweight contender Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31KOs) was a little fired up when discussing his dislike for WBA champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 24KOs). A deal is close to being wrapped up for the two boxers to face each other on Showtime Pay-Per-View, on December 14th, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. During Thursday's Fox Sports televised card at the MGM Grand, the two fighters were involved in a minor confrontation.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 24KOs) is fully confident that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) will defeat WBC/WBA junior middleweight Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and he says WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16KOs) will score a knockout over Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32KOs) in the co-feature.

Having a conversation with three-division world champion Adrien Broner can be a trying process. To say that the Cincinnati native is a little brash would be an understatement, and the fact that Broner seems to find his own kind of humor in even the most straightforward of subjects means you might not always get the answers you want from him. Last month in Indio, Calif., the dialogue with the 24-year old champion was deeper than usual, as our conversation covered such topics as a possible bout with Marcos Maidana, the Floyd Mayweather-Saul Alvarez event, his love for his kids, cherishing the spotlight, and dealing with critics. Having temporarily relocated to Las Vegas as he dives back into training, with a Maidana clash likely on his horizon, Broner has again been brief and whimsical when interviewed.

As reported by HustleBoss.com/BoxingScene.com recently, Cincinnati-based trainer Mike Stafford is entertaining the idea of training his core group of fighters, which includes three-division world champion Adrien Broner, temporarily in Las Vegas within the coming weeks. Stafford will arrive to Vegas next week, as two of his fighters, Jamel Herring and Robert Easter Jr., were lined up with bouts at the MGM Grand on Sept. 12. It actually turns out that Broner is already in the city, as he was spotted getting a workout inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club on Tuesday afternoon.

Trainer Robert Garcia likes Marcos Maidana's chances to derail undefeated WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 24KOs). Maidana (34-3, 31KOs) is potentially going to face Broner on November 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Maidana, one of the hardest punchers in boxing, has been at welterweight for his last four fights. Broner moved up by two divisions, from 135 to 147, in June when he displayed some struggles in winning a twelve round split decision over Paulie Maliganggi to win the WBA belt.

Ryan Burton and other media members catch up with Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer of Floyd Mayweather Jr., to discuss the fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, boxing history, Adrien Broner, and more.
