    Just go walk up to a gym and tell the person in charge (if they ask) that you just want to sit and watch, they will all allow it. Basically you can go an watch known fighters training all the times. I'm talking names like Peter Quillin, Abner Mares, De Leon, Brando Rios, Maidana, Martinez etc.

    Its easier than you think.

      well in that regard it was a serious question because obviously you cant see them work but there are places where you can see a ton of top fighters going in & out and they will speak to you on the outside.

      I did get to see Pascal spar in Vegas but that place was like Fort Knox. You werent getting in there without a hookup but they had cameras there too since it was so close to the fight so maybe it would be different on a normal day. Roy was there too. Pascal looked ready so I know he was upset that the fight got postponed
      Well I know when it comes to sparring it gets a bit more stricter.

        To be more clear, I'm going to Florida next month and I just wanted to see if I could check Rigo out in the gym. And I know when he spars its easy work so idk if they would really he that strict about it.

          If they are in training camp you won't be able to talk to them. But just on an average day at the gym and they are running the treadmill or something of course you would be able to talk to them

            EDIT: (that was kinda obvious thing though..)
            I lived in Las Vegas for 6 years and I frequented Top Rank, Johnny Tocco's Gym, Richard Steele's Gym, and Las Vegas Boxing (Jeff Mayweather's Gym). I also used to do my regular workouts at Las Vegas Athletic Club. Visiting these places I'd always see champions, top ranking, and up and coming fighters all the time. Just living in Las Vegas I'd run into fighters in different places.

              This is what I was thinking.
