What was it like working with Adrien Broner?
Roger Mayweather
It's like working with anybody else. I thought this motherfucker was small. Motherfucker is big. He's bigger than I thought he was. I thought he was small. When I seen him on TV, I thought, man, that motherfucker small. He ain't that small.

Did he just come up to you and say, hey, I wanna work with you today?
Roger Mayweather
Well, a guy, his friend wanted me to work with him. I said, yeah, I'll work with him. One of his little friends asked if I would work with him.

He says he'll be here for a few weeks, are you guys gonna keep working together?
Roger Mayweather
Yeah. He's been here before when Floyd fights. I'm sure. He's been here before, so I'm sure.

What's it like working with him? What qualities do you see in him?
Roger Mayweather
He don't work on things like my nephew, because he hasn't been taught that. He has physical strength. You can tell he has physical strength. He can box. Thing about doing it with my nephew, it's much easier to do it with him, because I work with my nephew all the time. But Broner, I ain't worked with once. He don't get off like my nephew do, and he ain't even throwing that many punches.

What are you going to work on to kind of make him sharper?
Roger Mayweather
My thing is, I worked with him one time. I thought he was small. I thought he was small, so my thing is working on his hand movement, his head movement, and box. Because I thought he was small but that motherfucker bigger than I thought he was.

In two months. November.
Roger Mayweather
Oh, yeah. But I mean as far as his friend, he said, can you work with Adrien Broner? I said, I'll work with him. But I didn't know that he was fighting out here. I didn't know. I just assumed he was out here because I knew he'd been in the gym before.

Do you think in the coming years he's going to be one of the op fighters?
Roger Mayweather
He's a well-schooled kid. When I looked at him, I thought he was smaller. That motherfucker -- he ain't small.
