By Jason Kim: If you look at the way that WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner fights with his identical fighting style to his hero Floyd Mayweather Jr. to his total domination of the mostly mediocre opposition at super featherweight and lightweight, it looks like Broner is being groomed by his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions to be the eventual replacement for the aging 35-year-old Mayweather.
Broner fights for Golden Boy, whereas Mayweather has a working relationship with the promotional company. But it would be huge for Golden Boy is they were able to turn the young 23-year-old Broner into a PPV star along the same lines as Mayweather because Broner would be an actual Golden Boy fighter and they would make tons of money in that kind of situation if Broner could keep winning for a decade.
