Floyd Injury scare rubbished by Ariza

"Strengthening coach Alex Ariza has denied reports Floyd Mayweather Jr. suffered potentially serious injuries in the build-up to his May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Ariza, who used to train Pac-Man, played down rumours Mayweather has accumulated lasting damage during sparring and heavy bag sessions, reported by Bev Llorente of ABS-CBN News North America.
"I don't call scraped knuckles...I don't call that an injury," Ariza said. "That's just, sometimes they scrape some knuckles inside those gloves. That sometimes happens, nothing major."
The trainer confirmed there is "nothing broken that would cause any concern or delay of this fight" and dismissed the seriousness of other potential problems Mayweather is said to have faced"

I watched 3 hours of early Manny last night. When he was younger he was a freaky fighter and I mean that in a good way. Who on earth would throw something like 18 body shots in a row? Madness. You swear he would throw 150 punches in some rounds. I hope he doesnt suddenly show his age. He's smarter than when younger but at 38 Mayweather needs to be blitzed. If Maidana can almost blitz him hopefully Manny can seal the show. Or steal the show. Or deal the 'woah'. Pac/Morales trilogy tonight!

Arum indicated the undefeated boxer was "getting hit a lot by his sparring partners and couldn't spar for a few days because his lip was cut and they had to manufacture a special headgear that also covered his lips because every time Floyd got hit, it bled,"

Arum is such a bullshitter. 'they had to manufacture new head gear' lol. If they did need such head gear it already exists so nothing needs to be specially manufactured. Can't stand that lying old git.
Just look at that picture, it makes you want to slap that face.

To survive unscathed this long, there must be some kind of force field around it. Emperor Palpatine stylee.

The fact that Floyd's predictably utter shutout of Canelo is second on the all time list just proves how stupidly boxing fans spend their money.

Remember when it was held up a bit in negotiations the same people as always said Floyd was scared of him? Haha

The same that said he was scared of Hatton, and Shane, and Manny. The same that won't admit that Manny and Arum had a contract in front of them last year that guaranteed Manny 10 million more than Floyd at 40 mill and 35% of upside that they said no to and claimed Floyd was scared haha. No amount of lies from Pacs side can make him the bad guy haha

Where are you from? The lie you spread are hilarious. If floyd is so innocent, why has he been ridiculed by espn for 5 years to fight pac. And why has America mocked him for so long to fight pacquiao. And he is thr American. American company endores pacquiao and makes commercials mocking floyd to fight pac.

Floyd says he does not enjoy boxing like he used to and that now it is just his job

"I don't enjoy it like I once did. It is at a point where it is business," he said Tuesday at an open media workout. "It is my job. I go to the gym. I train. I know what I have to do. There was a time when it was fun but I am at a point now where I am really over all of that stuff."

Admission will be charged for fans to attend Mayweather-Pacquiao weigh-in

LAS VEGAS – In the last seven years, weigh-ins for major fights have become an event unto themselves. Weigh-ins are, by Nevada law, open to the public, and thousands of fans who weren't able to afford tickets to the fight the next night would pack the arena to catch a glimpse of the boxers.

No weigh-in was more memorable than the one the afternoon before the 2007 match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton. Tens of thousands of Hatton fans packed the MGM Grand Garden and sang and cheered for hours, with the strain of "There's only one Ricky Hatton!" reverberating throughout the casino.

Fans who want a similar experience for the May 2 Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight had better be prepared to pay for the privilege.

For what is believed to be the first time in Nevada history, admission will be charged for fans to attend the weigh-in on May 1 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Francisco Aguilar, the chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said he sought the advice of the Nevada attorney general's office before permitting the charge.

"All of the money, every dollar, from the ticket sales will go to the charities," Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said.

Mayweather has designated the Susan B. Komen Foundation as his charity. Pacquiao picked the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health as his charity. Proceeds from the weigh-in ticket sales will benefit those charities equally.

Royce Feour was the long-time boxing writer at the Las Vegas Review-Journal and covered fights in Nevada dating back to the early 1960s. He said he could recall admission being charged by the old Dunes Hotel/Casino for fans to watch Floyd Patterson work out before a fight with Sonny Liston. However, Feour said that as far as he can remember, admission has never been charged for fans to attend a weigh-in in the state.
The charge is not, however, because the fighters are looking to milk every last cent from the promotion. Rather, it's going to be tried as a form of crowd control.

Officials are expecting upward of 50,000 people in the MGM who will be attending the closed circuit broadcast of the fight the next day. The fear is that a large percentage of them will attempt to attend the weigh-in and it could create an unruly situation.

So by charging a nominal fee that has yet to be determined, only fans with tickets will be able to get in and it should make controling the crowd easier, Aguilar said.

"We want to make it as safe as possible for the fighters and for everyone who attends," Aguilar said. "And if fans know they need a ticket to get in, it might prevent people lining up way earlier or any disagreements as people attempt to get into the arena."
