Before Adrien Broner made his public plea for help, he was hitting the clubs in Vegas ... just 24 hours after going on a violent rampage on the Las Vegas strip.

We broke the story ... the boxing star shoved a woman and knocked a man out cold late Friday night. Unclear what set him off but the guy was clearly unhinged.

The very next night, Broner hit up 1OAK nightclub in the Mirage hotel where he got up on stage and danced with rap group, Travis Porter.

TMZ Sports published the knockout video on Sunday morning -- and that's when Broner's attitude changed ... he finally began to acknowledge he had a problem and said he needed help.

As for the victim, he was in bad shape after the incident -- no word on how he's doing now.

The LSU Police Dept. has opened an investigation into a crazy tailgate brawl on Saturday involving a man with ONE ARM IN A CAST who brutally punched the hell out of several people ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The video, shot by Zac Hall, went viral minutes after he posted it online -- showing a man with his right arm in a purple cast up to his bicep unloading on several LSU fans, knocking at least one guy out cold.

The victim appeared to be trying to diffuse the situation when the cast guy struck. The unidentified man proceeded to throw more punches at the victim and anyone else who tried to step in.

A rep for the LSUPD tells us, "No arrests at this time but LSU police are investigating."

Adrien Broner is making a public plea for help ... this after the boxer was seen in a frightening violent outburst on the streets of Las Vegas.

"I know I got problems I just want help," Broner posted on social media late Sunday night ... "Just need someone to talk too."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Broner erupted while walking on the Vegas strip on Friday night -- forcefully shoving a woman before clocking a man in the face and knocking him out.

Broner says he can't get any of his friends to talk with him -- it seems like a message to Floyd Mayweather, who essentially took him under his wing the last time Broner needed help.

Add Sly Stallone to the list of people who thought Mayweather vs. McGregor was a farce ... with Rocky himself telling us he's over the hype and moving on to the "REAL" fight -- GGG vs Canelo.

We got Cobra (watch it, it's a forgotten classic) leaving the Palm Beverly Hills and asked if he thought the GGG/Canelo fight would be more interesting than Floyd and Conor.

Stallone didn't hold back (just like he didn't in "Over The Top," another freakin' gem from his resume) and told our guy it was obvious which bout would be better, cause only one is legit.

Listen to this guy ... he was able to clear his name after being framed in "Tango & Cash" ... (buddy cop staple on a "Lethal Weapon" level, just trust us).

Boxing star Adrien Broner went ballistic on the Vegas strip Friday night ... violently shoving a woman and knocking a dude out cold.

TMZ Sports obtained the video, which starts with Broner taking pics with fans. Moments later he snaps, but it's unclear why. The former world champ appears enraged as he walks near the MGM.

A female companion tried to calm him down, but Broner isn't having it and shoves her, sending her flying backward. Then he uncorks a ferocious knockout blow to a guy who went down for the count.

It's unclear if Broner knew the guy, or if he just got in his line of fire.

We're told security talked to Broner, but let him go.

We've reached out to Adrien's camp ... no word back so far.

Broner has had numerous outside-the-ring issues over the years. His "big bro" Floyd Mayweather tried to step in and mentor him earlier this year ... but it doesn't seem to be working.

It's time for TMZ Sports boxing smack talk ... grade school edition ... 'cause one of the best 8-year-old boxers in the world is calling out TWO of the best 9-year-old boxers in the world, and he ain't playin'.

The little tyke making the challenge is Nijee "The Future," the pint-sized boxing star who took the internet by storm a while back when a video of his INSANE boxing skills went viral.

Now there's 2 new youth boxing phenoms on the scene ... the Grandy brothers from Philadelphia ... 9-year-old twins who've been all over the place for their pugilistic prowess, and Nijee wants a piece.

In a video provided exclusively to us, Nijee calls out BOTH brothers, saying he's down to fight, proving once and for all which phenom is the phenomiest.

Here's the thing, this could happen ... Nijee has been live sparring now for around two years (dominating), and both him and the Grandy bros are over 8, the required age to compete as amateurs.

Adrien Broner has some career advice for Conor McGregor -- don't EVER try boxing again!

We got AB at 1 OAK in L.A. ... and the superstar boxer didn't mince words when it came to the idea of Conor hoppin' back into the ring.

"If he want this work, I’ma f**k him up," Broner told TMZ Sports. "But other than that, I want him to stay away from this sh*t."

Adrien says McGregor should go back to where he belongs -- the UFC -- cause a young hitter like him would do way more damage than Floyd Mayweather.

The former 4-weight champ wasn't done there ... telling us boxers could conquer MMA better than Conor did boxing, "cause we fight better than them."

AB did have one other idea for the Irishman -- just call it quits!!

After banking $100 MIL ... why not party forever?

Calvin Pryor's stint in Cleveland is over -- the former 1st-round draft pick has been CUT by the Browns after allegedly fighting one of his teammates before practice this week.

The Browns had traded for Pryor during the off-season -- grabbing him from the NY Jets in exchange for linebacker Demario Davis.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says the fight was with WR Ricardo Louis. Coach Hue Jackson says the issue is an "internal matter." The story was first reported by Ian Rapoport.

Jackson says there are no plans to release Louis.

GGG's got stamina ... gotta give him that.

The boxing superstar broke out his favorite pen and ripped out HUNDREDS of signatures on Everlast boxing gloves during a marathon autograph session this week ... and it's all for his richest fans.

We spoke with Life In Motion CEO, Thorsten Meier, who says the gloves are a perk for fans who pony up for the special ringside "platinum package" seats for the September 16 fight with Canelo Alvarez.

It's $7,600 for 1 ticket or $14,000 for 2 -- and each order comes with a glove signed by GGG and Canelo, PLUS a hotel room at the Mandalay Bay, PLUS limo transportation from the airport.

As for GGG, don't worry ... his hands were still solid after all the John Hancock'ing.

There was a mad scramble to protect Conor McGregor's genitals in the minutes before the Mayweather fight ... when he realized he left his protective cup at home!

Conor had just had his hands wrapped -- while still wearing his pimped out suit -- when he realized he was missing his custom jockstrap/cup combo and his mouthpiece.

He immediately remembered he left 'em both at his Vegas home and sent one of his team members racing out of the T-Mobile Arena to retrieve his junk protection, ASAP.

The good news ... the guy made it back with plenty of time to spare.

But why did Conor have a custom cup? We'll just refer you back to the weigh-in ...

Things got downright X-rated in the Legends Football League ... when Chicago Bliss star running back ChrisDell Harris invited a linebacker to prove her skills as a cunning linguist -- if you catch our drift.

It all went down when the Bliss took on the Atlanta Steam in an August 20 match up -- where things got pretty chippy between the two squads.

Harris -- aka "The Ferrari" -- wasn't too happy about getting slammed into a wall during an option play ... and launched the oral attack.

"Straight Outta Compton" star Jason Mitchell's insane meltdown was ignited by an eavesdropping passenger -- who was in the first class seat ... Jason wanted so badly.

TMZ obtained new video of the crazy scene which shows Mitchell actually sitting in the economy seat to which he got bumped. Jason was on his phone telling someone about his ordeal, and a first class passenger overheard and apparently made a comment. That's when Jason erupted on the guy -- "Am I talking to you? F**king racist!"

As a flight attendant approached, things got more intense with Jason screaming, "I'll bat the f**k outta you! Unless you sitting next to children or anything else."

Amazingly, he calmed down after that, took his seat and promised to be good. In the video you see him put on his headphones and chill -- but when a Delta staffer announced he had to deplane so police could deal with Jason ... the rage returned.

As we first reported ... Delta says Mitchell had missed his original flight -- for which he had a first class seat -- and was flying standby. Police eventually detained him, but Delta refused to press charges.

Webbie says he's had another incident with the woman he's accused of beating up -- but this time she's the one facing a possible arrest ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us Webbie filed a police report this week, claiming she trashed his home and jacked some of his property. According to the report, Webbie and the woman had an argument which escalated to her causing thousands of dollars in damage in his GA home.

He claims the damage includes a $10,000 sound board and 2 iPhones worth $800 and $900. She also allegedly stole a $5,000 necklace and Webbie's van keys.

As we reported, Webbie got busted last month for battery and domestic abuse after he allegedly attacked her in a hotel room.

A Stipe Miocic vs. Jon Jones superfight ain't on the table anymore ... but was it ever??

We spoke to the heavyweight champ on the heels of Jon's failed steroids test ... and Stipe says he hadn't heard of a potential matchup with Jones till Dana White mentioned it to reporters.

"I had no idea. I was like, 'That's news to me,'" Miocic told TMZ Sports.

Stipe's not ruling out a fight with Jones down the road -- but with JJ sidelined for who knows how long, he says he's looking to pull a Conor McGregor ... and fight heavyweight boxing champ Anthony Joshua!

Stipe would be a BIG underdog, just like Conor was against Floyd Mayweather ... but tells us he can hang with Joshua, no problem.

Dude was a Golden Gloves champ ... so never say never.

A rally against hate in Berkeley is shaping up to possibly be the next Charlottesville -- albeit in reverse -- since people are already throwing punches and swinging sticks.

What was supposed to be a peaceful gathering of protesters has began to boil over into a clash of Trump supporters and liberal groups, including one called Antifa -- guys in all black that oftentimes get violent at these events. Cops have tried to keep the peace, but fights are still breaking out.

A lot of the Trump supporters are being chased down the street as well ... and even members of the media are being attacked.

It's not Charlottesville quite yet ... but cops have started making arrests and appear to be getting ready to stamp out a riot.

There are no reports of deaths as a result of the Berkeley rally ... at least not yet.

Conor McGregor beating Floyd Mayweather would be the biggest upset EVER ... this according to the man responsible for the most shocking upset in boxing history.

We talked to Buster Douglas with MayMac about to go down ... and he told us that Conor taking out Floyd would be waaay crazier than him KO'ing Mike Tyson back in 1990.

"I think his odds are a lot more tougher than mine," Buster told TMZ Sports.

"Conor is no boxer ... he has no boxing skills."

Buster says Conor's only shot is hitting Floyd with a "Hail Mary punch" -- but he expects Floyd to flat-out dominate.

FYI, Douglas was a 42-to-1 underdog when he knocked Tyson out.

Right now, Conor's about a 4-to-1 dog ... but over 90 PERCENT of bets are being put on him to upset.
