Am I the only one that questions Shane's choices of sparring partners?

    And I hear Floyd is sparring with Tim Bradley.
    In the end, it's hard to find a sparring partner that can do what Mayweather does as well as he does it.

      What makes you think that they show and tell everything on 24/7, that's going on in camp?
      It's most likely a distraction, to make Floyd take it easier on Shane, supposedly..

          WOuld the promoter be involved? I thought sparring requests were handled and confirmed by the managers and the promoters do actual fights only. This could be good money for bradley, especially if there was a "bidding" war

            when the promoter and the fighter are good friends then yes they do um communicate with each other about things like this.

                But wouldn't the manager have to handle all no fight business.

                Don't you think they would deny having bradley there to spar? They usually run a very secretive camp.

                    this makes sense

                    Ishe is a LV resident and if I remember correctly has sparred with Shane briefly

                    Forbes has known the Mayweathers forever
