Earlier today Floyd Mayweather Jr. conducted an open media workout at his own personal gym in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Mayweather was fashionably late, arriving around 3:45 pm as
opposed to the scheduled 2 o’clock time but the buzz in the air
and the characters in the building kept everyone’s interest until
then.
Arriving in a sleek white Ferrari, Mayweather’s presence
was instantly felt. As he entered the gym Floyd immediately headed to
the southeast corner of the facility where he conducted an in depth
interview with several members of the media. Not holding anything back,
Mayweather spoke of his flamboyant lifestyle, his god-given abilities,
and of course his May 1st clash with ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley.
Taking
place at the MGM Grand, the Mayweather-Mosley contest could very well
be this year’s most anticipated fight. Mosley is considered by
many to be Floyd’s biggest challenge to date and if
Mayweather’s training regimen was any indication he is surely
going into this contest with much focus and determination.
After
speaking to the press Mayweather made his way to the ring and started
shadowboxing with much vigor. Looking extremely fit, Mayweather rattled
off combinations in mid-air at a lightning quick pace for the better
part of ten minutes. The gym was chalked full of fighters, members of
the media, and several people from Floyd’s entourage. During
Mayweather’ shadowboxing there was probably thirty or so
photographers and people filming Floyd’s every move.
Mayweather
returned to the sport in September of last year with a whitewashing of
proud Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez. It was Mayweather’s first
fight since his retirement from the sport and today’s media
workout showcased the fact that Floyd is right where he wants to be as
he is again the center of attention fighting in the sport he loves most.
