Ryan Burton was front and center for the final press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, for Saturday's Premier Boxing Champions card on NBC - which features Adrien "The Problem" Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) taking on "Showtime" Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) and Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) facing Phil Lo Greco. During the press conference, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe accidently announced Adrien Broner to speak the podium - out of turn. Broner jumped out of his seat, visibly annoyed, and complained that he was being treated like the B-side with Porter being allowing speak last. Floyd Mayweather Jr. started calming Broner down as Ellerbe admitted that he made a mistake and announced Broner out of turn, and then directed Porter to come up.

Broner, Porter and Others Reflect on Father's Day

•Jun 17, 2015

LAS VEGAS - Boxing's storied history of close familial relationships will come to life this Father's Day Weekend as Premier Boxing Champions returns to NBC on June 20 and CBS on June 21 live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fighters featured on both of these stacked cards have close relationships with their own fathers, are fathers themselves or have found a father figure in the boxing gym. Moreover, fans of the sweet science are often born into a longstanding love for the sport that is passed on from generation to generation as fathers share the tradition of watching boxing at home with their families. As Premier Boxing Champions continues to bring great action to network television, this Father's Day Weekend of back-to-back fight cards is another opportunity for fathers to continue to pass this tradition along.

Shawn Porter believes he’ll incorporate more than one approach against Adrien Broner when they fight this Saturday in the main event of “Premier Boxing Champions” on NBC. “I think this fight’s going to go everywhere. I want to dictate everything. I want to dictate the pace. I want to be the commander in the ring,” Porter said on a June 15 media conference call. “So with that being said, we’re versatile, which is great. We can box him from the outside. There will also be points where we look to move in and get very physical. We’ll take it one round at a time, obviously. We’ll look to box and we’ll also look to punch and put it all together … the boxing, the punching, the pressure, the countering, all of it.”

Shawn Porter claims to have always been indifferent to all matters relating to Adrien Broner, from their amateur days in separate parts of Ohio through the past seven years together—but separate—in the pro ranks. Leave it to Broner to help change a simple in-state rivalry into a budding grudge match, if only for the next few days. The pair of Ohioans will collide this weekend at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (Saturday, NBC, 8:30 p.m. ET). The venue is just one of several matters on which Porter willingly co-signed for the sake of making the fight happen, the 144 lb. catchweight marking the greatest concession made.

It’s a win Shawn Porter wants bad enough, that he was willing to match his career-lightest weight in order to make it happen. The former welterweight titlist insists he is on course to make weight for his upcoming showdown with fellow Ohioan, former three-division titlist Adrien Broner. The two collide at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (Saturday, NBC, 8:30 p.m. ET), with the fight to be contested at a maximum catchweight of 144 lbs.
