On Wednesday afternoon, Adrien Broner posted a series of social media messages on Instagram that seemed to suggest he was going to commit suicide. "3PM I’m doing it I’m sorry to my family and friends but I don’t want to be here no more this shit too much," he wrote in one of the messages. "I’m going home I love y’all," he wrote in another.

Fortunately, Broner didn't hurt himself, as evidenced by this photo that his fiancée posted on Snapchat:

But things got serious enough for the Cincinnati Police to get involved at one point:

And now, it seems Broner has decided to reach out to an old friend for help. According to TMZ Sports, Broner has been spending some time with Floyd Mayweather over the last 48 hours, despite the beef they had earlier this year. Mayweather's representatives told TMZ Sports that he reached out to Broner and is now "taking care" of him at his mansion in Las Vegas.

On Thursday night, both boxers took in a preseason game between the Kings and Lakers in Vegas before putting together this clip of them cruising the strip in Mayweather's Bugatti:

It's good to see Broner in better spirits than he was on Wednesday.
