Floyd Mayweather news reveals the Nevada Athletic Commission's questioning of "Money's" antics during the "All-Access" reality series on the Showtime network in preparation for his fight against Marcos Maidana. The pound-for-pound boxing king, however, claimed that everything that transpired during the entire show was staged in an attempt to sell pay-per-views.
Mayweather, who continues to hold an unprecedented 47-0 win-loss slate, appeared before the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Tuesday to answer some questions regarding the second episode of "All-Access" of the Showtime network.
In one scene, a sparring match between two boxers of "The Money Team" was featured, and was reported to have lasted for 31 straight minutes. This in turn, drew concern from the Commission, whose main priority is the safety of fighters.
In a report by ESPN about the Floyd Maywether news, however, the fighter's camp was quick to defend their methods of training.
"We monitor every training session at Mayweather Boxing Club. I don't take breaks during 15-minute rounds, but we allow other guys," Mayweather answered. "I am there to monitor and watch every 'dog house' fight."
Floyd Mayweather news also reveals the statements of the team's legal counsel Shane Emerick defending the boxer's methods, adding that the entire 31 minutes of sparring was composed of several fighters who took breaks in between.
Mayweather also further defended his "dog house" rules, wherein fighters engage in hard sparring sessions, as opposed to lighter sessions for practice.
"Guys fight to the death," Mayweather added. "It's not right, but it's dog house rules."
Another issue raised by the commission was a scene depicting Mayweather's female companions rolling joints of marijuana and smoking them afterwards. While the boxer did not partake in the smoking, the drug use was still an eyesore for some members of the commission.
However, the Mayweather camp nullified what transpired, adding that everything that happened in the said episode was staged for promotion purposes.
"With 'All Access,' we're able to edit and chop footage the way we want," Mayweather said.
"That's all for the reality show," Emerick added. "It does not happen."
