Adrien Broner reiterated once again that he wants to face Manny Pacquiao once he gets past Carlos Molina in their upcoming showdown on the undercard of the Mayweather vs Maidana fight on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
In a recent interview with BoxingScene, Broner jokingly said that he will cancel his fight against Molina if Pacquiao wants to fight him, while also calling out Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions.
"Hey, Pacquiao? Where they at? Top Rank, Pacquiao's promoter, where they at? I'll stop this fight to fight Pacquiao," Broner said.
The 24-year-old former champion previously said that he is not afraid of Pacquiao, who recently reclaimed his WBO welterweight title against Timothy Bradley, saying that he is willing to fight the former pound-for-pound king at any weight any time.
"I ain't scared to fight that m**********r. S**t, tell him to come on. I'll fight him. I don't care where we fight if I fight Pacquiao. S**t, we can fight at 115 if I can make it," Broner said.

It is still unknown, though, whether or not the Pacquiao vs Broner showdown will be considered at all since Broner is with Golden Boy Promotions and Al Haymon, while Pacquiao is with Top Rank Promotions.
Broner lost his WBA welterweight title to Marcos Maidana in their title showdown in December last year. Boxing analysts are not sure how Broner will react after absorbing his first loss, but the Cincinnati, Ohio native played down speculations that he was discouraged after losing to Maidana.
"How many times you lost and got millions for it? No, I'm great. You know, some of the best fighters in the world, in the universe, have taken a loss. This is just my first loss. I just took my first loss on this Earth, so it's big. It's bigger than what it really is," Broner said.
Broner added that the good thing about absorbing his first loss was he became aware who his real friends were, saying that he did not receive a lot of calls after losing to Maidana.
"You hear things, but sometimes for a guy in my position it takes you bump your head one time. I'm happy. This is the biggest thing and greatest thing to happen to my career. I'm happy it happened. Now I see the ones who love me, the ones who was doing it for they own good. But it's OK. We OK," Broner said.
