It's rumored to be the co-main event to Mayweather-Maidana II. So apparently now Broner is fighting on 9/6, one week prior to the PPV.
Haven't seen one with a poll yet, so here it is.
Rumors below:
Broner could face Matthysse in co-feature on Mayweather vs. Maidana II card
Broner vs Matthysse listed on Boxrec for 9/13 as of 7/9
Broner on points. Should be a very tough fight for him, but I think he can pull it off. Matthysse isn’t as scary, and intimidating as he once was.
Broner has no foot work comes forward taylor made for a hard puncher. You don't lose your power just because you lost your last fight so yes he's still scary cause he will land on Broner

agree, i strongly believe broner has humbled (inside) and learned much from the maidana fight. the key will be broner's feet...
and if matthysse wins, itll be by points. he not ko-ing broner who survived maidana.
MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH, WHY THE **** DO YOU HAVE THE SAME AVATAR AS ME U ****.
No truth to rumors of an Adrien Broner-Lucas Matthysse fight, per a source close to the fighters. Told emphatically that rumor is bogus.— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) July 7, 2014
Makes sense. Why would they risk one of their money makers who's only one fight from getting the ass whooping of a lifetime from Maidana. Not to mention he wasn't all that impressive in his last fight.
Lucas deserves this fight after the crap Broner was talking about him and Danny beating up and eliminating the Argentinian's. Broner isn't anywhere as skilled as Garcia. Lucas would spark him out no doubt about it.
They will put Broner in with Rod Salsa's cousin.

Wow that sucks!! Well Broner makes it clear he has something lined up for 9/6....
I wonder who he's fighting.

Hmm maybe I spoke too soon.

I did hear that Golden Boy wanted to stage a show 1 week prior to the PPV. So I would assume he's headlining that card. Hopefully it's still against Lucas.
