Robert Guerrero has become more well-known in the last week by having his name associated with Floyd Mayweather Jr than he's ever been before. Unfortunately, he's now well-known as a guy who was supposedly in talks to fight Mayweather, to which the public responded with a very loud, "NO!"
But that fight's not happening on May 5, so don't worry.
Guerrero's team has become incredibly aggressive in getting his name out there, though, and you can't fault them for that. "The Ghost" has attended a bunch of celebrity functions in recent months -- I'm not exactly sure what the purpose is, or if it's really going to help advance his boxing career, but there are certainly worse ways to spend an injury recovery process than taking pictures with Patton Oswalt and Gollum.
I know my tone here seems like I'm kind of making fun of this, and, well, I'll be honest: I am. I don't know what else I would do. How would one take this "seriously"?
There's no news on when Guerrero will fight again. He's been out of the ring for nine months now and is coming off of shoulder surgery from August.
Anyway, the photos are after the jump, featuring Robert Guerrero standing by the likes of Jason Segel, Bret from "Flight of the Conchords," Busy Philipps, James Cromwell, Andy Serkis, and some people I don't know.

Honestly, this is sad. It reeks of desperation. Oswalt’s face seems to say: who the fuck is this guy?

The worst is the one with Busy Philipps, I think.

Although Serkis also looks a little…I don’t know.

This is so hilarious. Oswalt looks like “I don’t know who the heck you are but oh well”.

i don’t know why you guys are making big deal of these? if guerrero was there it’s because he was invited or not?

Yeah, it’s a real big deal we’re making of it. Look how seriously we’re taking it.

If we didn’t talk about this, we’d be forced to pay attention to really silly things, like Pacquiao-Mayweather.
Wait … I think I got that wrong.
Anyway, I’m one of the few who said YES!!!

BTW, who’s the blond with the big … lipstick?
At least Guerrero got his picture taken with James Cromwell. That’s something.
DrRck - January 16, 2012
Busy Philipps. One of my favorites, although I’m not into awards show dress.
Scott Christ - January 16, 2012
You probably wouldn’t look very good in it. Not your color.

Theres definitely a joke about beavers in there somewhere
