Former three-division world champion Adrien Broner was handcuffed and detained by police in Las Vegas Thursday evening after going to Tao nightclub in the Venetian with several members of his posse, where Broner did not meet the club’s dress code, which Broner remonstrated against, refusing to abide by orders to leave. A security guard called the police, who cuffed Broner and took him back to his room for 20 minutes. He was then released and left the hotel with his crew.
In a video released by TMZ, Broner was heard saying, “They’re mad ’cause I’m rich.’”
Broner was in attendance at MGM Grand for the Mayweather-Pacquiao weigh-in held at 6 PM ET. Eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao weighed in first at 145 pounds. Floyd Mayweather Jr., the undefeated champion of five weight classes, weighed in at 146 pounds.
