as far as getting insulted by people around the ring, thats important to teach fighters about a form of abuse many dont take into consideration. only difference between the "morons" outside that ring and the actual morons on this very forum for instance is the people at the gym actually know boxing.
funny how its all ****s and giggles when people who never boxed in their lives are talking **** anonymously over the net, but its somehow worse when people who are actually in the fight game does it to someones face. its all meant to let people know, there is no pity in boxing. people will kick you when you are down every time, just like the beating itself you rather take it in the gym than under the lights.
again, this is not good on a day to day basis, but its not done on a day to day basis. its meant as a way to test newcomers, squash beefs and build mental toughness. all of which im sure it does successfully.
personally it made me want to get on a plane and get in there myself
and i did say in my first post in this thread:

These guys are not signed to TMT, i wonder if he would let a TMT fighter spar when that tired - when their defense is likely to be afffected - meaning they get hit more. yea, there is less mustard on the shots when tired but you're still getting punched in the head by a fighter.
However, a tough sparring session like that would toughen a fighter up mentally and give him the confidence in his own stamina and mental strength.
how about taking a rest and telling the fighter what he is doing wrong,
and how it was orchestrated, looked childish to me. and im not talking about **** talking while they are fighting
"settle their beefs" you mean a bunch of fighters wanting to impress mayweather

No wonder what that poster said went over your head.
i'm addressing what sparring is, and how that differs from it. i'm illustrating that those kinds of gym sessisons, if they occur regularly, will deplete a fighter.
it's supposed to be sparring. what that was was an exhibition, mostly put on to entertain showtime viewers, floyd mayweather, and his gym.
let's also keep in mind that i'm not a manny fanboy, or a floyd hater. i paid a lot of money to wathc floyd fight in vegas.
you are a well established floyd mayweather fanboy, and you happen to, once again, be siding with floyd mayweather.

Do you think they took it easy on him?
Do they sound like the type to do him any favors?

just like roy jones sr admitted he would drive behind jr as he was doing his roadwork, whipping him with an extension cord if he slowed down. among other things..
these guys got that joe jackson formula for success, dude. their sons were going to be champions by any means.

Originally posted by New England View Postthis wasn't sparring. i should have said "it was supposed to be sparring." it was more of an exhibtion for the cameras than actual sparring. sparring is practice. you're supposed to learn in a controlled environment.
if they sparred every day in that manner, they'd all be shot by their 20's. they'd have hand issues, and would be punch drunk.
if you think that's what sparring looks like, even at top flight pro gyms, you are wrong.
mayweahter was standing and shouting in the face of a kid who was taking a beating, implying that he was a coward. he was implying that they fight until somebody quits. there's no place for that in boxing. that's not sparring. they should have been sparring.

So now your complaint is that it was supposed to be sparring but it became entertainment? What if it was both? What then?

You saw Maidana spar Mikey Garcia on the same episode. They sparred rounds, and were getting advice from TRAINERS outside the ring, making adjustments and learning from the experience. I did not see one trainer at the Mayweather gym. Maybe they got tougher, but more likely they got brain damaged and did not get better technically.
