Floyd Mayweather is going to bat for Antonio Brown.

Mayweather joined “The Pivot Podcast” and guest Alex Rodriguez for a deep conversation about athletes and business. The conversation turned to Antonio Brown, who is friends with Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather put on his athlete advocate hat when speaking on AB.

“AB, he’s still young, so I feel like, AB, he’s got a lot left in football; at least four more years. Super fast, he works out on the regular. But, you know, we out in Miami. Of course, I’ve been out here so long. Alex (Rodriguez) been out here so long just building, being smart, but you know, just being around other great athletes and guys that’s pushing to be greater and not just on the field or in the ring.

“I’m happy for guys like Alex, AB, great people, great families. I had the chance to meet AB’s mom, a great woman, and I think AB is just misunderstood, and he just want to be treated fair.

Mayweather proceeded to make a commitment to any NFL willing to take a chance on AB.

“This is for any team that’s watching right now, we’ll make them a deal if they sign AB and AB go through the whole season no problems at all, and then they got to give us $20 million, but if he mess up then we’ve got to give them $20 million. So if any team want to match that then reach out to us.”

Mayweather also dished on how both Brown and he have to respect their respective games even when they do them professionally dirty.

“I’m a straight shooter, meaning a lot of times your talk about fans — and we love our fans — but you’ll have a fan that will come up to Alex [Rodriguez], me, or AB and say, ‘Oh, I love you,’ and when a fan goes over to AB and tell AB, ‘Oh yeah, that was f**ked up, f**k the NFL.’ No, he’s not going to say ‘f**k the NFL’ and then take a picture with you; that’s not cool because he knows you from the NFL.

You know you’re screwed when Floyd Mayweather is making pleas to NFL teams.  AB is not going to get any job based off a commitment from Floyd Mayweather.

Antonio and Floyd are birds of a feather…
