The Nevada State Athletic Commission is trying to get to the bottom of what goes on at boxer and promoter Floyd Mayweather's Las Vegas gym. Officials are concerned about activities purportedly taking place per Money May's reality show All Access, such as unsafe training practices, gambling, drug use and the like. Floyd says that those scenarios aren't real and were merely constructed for dramatic effect. Officials want to know: was that a lie?
According to Francisco Aguilar of the NSAC, several scenes in Floyd Mayweather's reality show All Access contained disturbing images such as a 31-minute "dog fight" sparring session and shots of girls smoking weed (via Huffington Post):
"I watched the episodes when they were sent to me by another commissioner. Our main concern is the health and safety of the fighters, and not just on fight night but also in sparring and in training. We want to get a clarification about what happened on All Access."
While it's common knowledge that so-called reality shows often share little connection with reality. Many times scenes are fabricated for heightened dramatic effect. But that also makes a very convenient excuse for Mayweather, someone who seems intent on playing by his own rules.
He swears, though, that the allegations made by the NSAC are baseless (via ESPN):
"With All Access, we're able to edit and chop footage the way we want."
