MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Kenny Porter, father and trainer of Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16KOs), is convinced that former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-1,22KOs) hired investigators to follow him around.
During Thursday's final press conference, a war of words erupted between Kenny and Broner.
The tense situation began when Broner started describing Kenny's girlfriend, details about his home, specific details about his two cars, and other personal information.
"I started feeling really good about myself when he started talking about my women, the way I dress, my nice car, and my jeep. He sent an investigation team out on me, because we don't hang around those people. We don't go to Floyd Mayweather's gym, so he literally sent someone out to follow me to see what I was doing," Kenny told BoxingScene.com.
Broner even revealed Kenny's bank of choice - which Kenny says was half-true. He named the wrong bank, but revealed the correct Las Vegas neighborhood where Kenny does his banking.
"He got the bank wrong, but he got the right area. Floyd banks with me so I know Floyd told him that. Floyd has gotten out of his line to shake my hand at the bank," Kenny said.
Broner vs. Porter will headline the next edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC on NBC) on Saturday night.
