It's been a bad week for Adrien Broner. Last Wednesday, the boxer appeared to imply that he was going to commit suicide in a series of social media messages. Fortunately, that didn't happen:
But Broner's cry for help—if that is indeed what it was—was answered by Floyd Mayweather, who invited Broner to Las Vegas so that he could take care of him. Mayweather did that by letting Broner drive one of his expensive cars around Vegas and getting him back into the gym for a workout:
But at some point, Broner also made his way to Drai's nightclub early Sunday morning and reportedly found trouble while he was there. According to TMZ Sports, Broner was given a citation for misdemeanor battery after a waitress at the club accused him of choking her. The waitress told police that Broner wrapped his hands around her neck and said, "Bitch, I will knock you out."
Broner has denied the woman's accusations. He was not arrested at the scene, but he was given a citation and ordered to make a court appearance in the near future after at least one witness spoke with police and confirmed the woman's version of what took place. Broner posted a video of him speaking with police on social media a short time after he was cited:
