A new viral video showing Adrien Broner asking for help with ride money has prompted an unexpected response from Ryan Garcia, who publicly reached out with an offer of support. The clip, which quickly spread across social media, shows Broner speaking to a cameraman and promising to pay for the ride later.
Garcia responded to the viral video directly on X (formerly Twitter), posting a message aimed at Broner that struck a noticeably different tone from the usual back-and-forth common in boxing.
“Sad to see, AB if you see this call me. Let’s get you situated. No need to keep drinking. Let’s be better. Not judging let’s lock in,” Garcia wrote.
The moment adds to a growing list of recent incidents involving Broner, raising questions about his well-being. Once a four-division champion known for his “About Billions” persona, Broner has spent the last several years attempting to rebuild his career following long stretches of inactivity.
His in-ring résumé includes standout runs at 130 and 135 pounds, but performances at higher weight classes—and fewer appearances since 2019—have slowed that momentum.
Concerns about Broner’s condition aren’t new. During fight weekend tied to the Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez fight, longtime associate Blue Blood Sports TV described seeing Broner needing assistance to walk through a Las Vegas hotel lobby, saying he appeared “spaced out” and unable to fully engage with those around him.
Those incidents, combined with the newly surfaced video, have shifted the conversation away from headlines about Broner’s behavior and toward broader concern about his health, and whether he is getting the support he needs.
