Adrien Broner does more than just take on the world’s top fighters in the boxing ring. He also is ready to challenge the music industry with his own record label, About Billions. The Ohio native has been friends with Rick Ross for a while and, in an interview with AllHipHop, the boxer explains the Maybach Music Group boss’s involvement in the label.
“Ross is definitely coming on board,” he says, wearing an MMG chain. “He’s gonna help us push through. He’s a mentor of mine. Ross just actually hit me up not too long ago. We gonna be hooking up in a minute and we’re going to be doing some big things this year.”
Ross walked Broner to the ring when he fought Carlos Molina on the undercard for Floyd Mayweather‘s first fight against Marcos Maidana.
In regards to his strained relationship with Mayweather, Broner says the two have a long road towards reconciliation. The two have traded shots in interviews and on social media after having a fallout. Money May has called his former mentee a “snake,” “broke” and aired out his legal troubles to the public.

“There’s some things that he’d say about me that I’d never say about him ever,” Broner says. “I don’t give a fuck what we go through. I don’t care if I seen a problem or if he got an addiction, whatever, I would never put it on record, none of that because the love I got for him. Ever, I won’t ever do it. People love is different. To him, he probably felt like he ain’t do nothing wrong. But at the end of the day, I know he really got genuine love for me.”
Mayweather retired from the sport after he defeated Andre Berto in September. Broner is asked if he could bring the champion back to the ring.
“If he wanted to fight me, we would fight,” he says. “If he wanted to spar with me, we woulda been sparred. I been told him I wanted to spar him. If he wanted to get in the ring with me, we woulda been did it. We woulda been did it. Like I said before, I don’t need him. He don’t need me. Would I like for this dumbass shit to be over, absolutely. Because at the end of the day, we’re both African American and the power we both have, we can put it together and do some crazy things, but right now, no.”
