Former four division world champion Adrien Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) is giving high praise to his good friend, Floyd Mayweather Jr., for finalizing a fight with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

The Showtime Pay-Per-View fight was made official last Wednesday, for August 26th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner mentioned on Monday that's interested in appearing on the actual undercard, potentially against UFC fighter Nate Diaz, who himself obtained a license to box last year.

Broner appearing on that card is a stretch, because that's less than a month from his upcoming fight with three division champion Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs).

The fight with Garcia takes place on July 29th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. But Broner feels he can make that quick of a turnaround - provided there are no injuries, and provided that he wins the bout. Garcia, who never fought any higher than the lightweight limit of 135-pounds, is as high as a 5-1 favorite to beat him. Broner has captured world titles at 130, 135, 140 and the welterweight limit of 147.

Mayweather has been getting a lot of heat for the bout with McGregor - who undeniably is one of the most popular athletes in the world, but he doesn't have any pro boxing experience. Mayweather, who is 40-years-old, has been inactive since announcing his retirement in September 2015.

Broner loves the idea of the fight - because Mayweather is going to make over $100 million for what most believe will be a one-sided domination of a fighter.

"What can I say? [Mayweather] a f---ing genius," Broner told CBS Sports. "Hell, if I don't take any punishment after my fight, I would like to fight the next UFC star on the undercard. F--- it. After this podcast, I'm going to call [adviser] Al [Haymon] and tell him to make me a fight with Steph Curry."
