As Broner was talking about Mayweather, he mentioned that if they switched places, he would offer a fight to him. Broner stated, “As me being his little brother, ‘Hey lil bro, we do 10 rounds, and we both gonna get 100 plus million for it. And we ain’t never gonna box again. Well, I already been getting these back, but, now it’s time for you to get your just due. And ain’t never got to box again.’ That would have been done. But I don’t know if he wanna see me with that type of money.”

Brown was playing for The Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he removed his uniform and pads as he walked out of the game. This certainly made a lot of headlines, and subsequently, the NFL team dropped him. The alleged reason Brown walked away during the game was because he refused to play with an ankle injury.
Following this, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather mentioned in an interview, “This is for any team that’s watching right now. We’ll make them a deal. If they sign AB, and AB goes through the whole season with no problems at all, then they gotta give us $20 million. But if he mess up, then we gotta give them $20 million. So, if any team wants to match that, reach out to us.”
