What really is going on behind the scenes at Saul Alvarez’s camp in Big Bear, Calif. ? (Photo: Instagram.com)
By Chris Robinson
As the Sep. 14 Floyd Mayweather-Saul Alvarez super fight inches closer to reality, there is no shortage of buzz or exposure for this year’s biggest event.
The latest rumor that caught the sport like wildfire was of the reports of ‘Canelo’ destroying his sparring partners in his Big Bear training camp in California ahead of his challenge of Mayweather.
Stories of guys being knocked out, broken ribs, and injured shoulders were coming from Canelo’s training bases, but people, especially those close to Mayweather, seemed skeptical.
Add Mayweather’s father and head trainer Floyd Sr. to the list of those unconvinced.
“It’s a bunch of BS,” Floyd Sr. stated recently. “That’s all it is, a bunch of BS.”

IBF junior middleweight champion Ishe Smith with Floyd Mayweather (Photo: Chris Robinson – www.HustleBoss.com)
By Jose Moreno
The alarm went off at 5:30 AM in the house of the IBF Light Middleweight Champion Ishe “Sugar Shay” Smith (25-5, 11 KO). It was time to get up and get ready for a segment at Channel 5 Fox News in Las Vegas, followed by a quick breakfast and then a stop at Channel 13 ABC News at 11 AM. It turned out to be a busy day for the first ever Vegas Born World Boxing Champion.
You could say that being crowned a champion is by far the best thing that could have happened to Smith at this stage of his career. After all the ups and downs that life had thrown at him, you know he cherishes every media commitment he is presented with.
With his first title defense scheduled to take place on the undercard of “THE ONE: Mayweather vs. Canelo” a four-fight SHOWTIME PPV event that will take place Saturday, Sept. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and because the fight will take place in Smith’s backyard, he needs to do promotional segments. Not only to promote the fight but also to promote the community events in the area happening because of the generosity of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation.
Smith is no stranger to the media though; he was after all a contestant in the popular reality show “The Contender.” So he welcomes every opportunity to showcase his city and as a true lover of the sport of boxing he is excited to talk about his passion and share his story with as many people as are willing to listen.
To end the day and after a very intense workout in preparation for his fight, Smith paid a visit to Cantina Deportiva ESPN 1460 in Las Vegas. Jesus Lopez, the host of the show, has always been a strong supporter of Smith. Smith spent an hour at the station and talked about everything from camp to the back to school drive put together at the Mayweather Boxing Club over the weekend.
The day was long and full of media appearances. But don’t ask Smith to take a break just yet, this is what the champion had dreamed his life would be like after “The Contender.”
His break just happened to come a few years later than expected.

Floyd Mayweather doing some light training inside of the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas during MAGIC Market Week
Article and photos courtesy of Chris Robinson (www.HustleBoss.com)
On Monday, Aug. 19, MAGIC Market Week once again invaded Las Vegas, in both the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Mandalay Bay.
Regarded as one of the premiere trade events in the international fashion industry, you can never be too surprised who you will run into during any given MAGIC event.
Scheduled to appear at Noon, but running about an hour behind schedule, undefeated, pound for pound superstar and five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather (44-0, 26 KO’s) played host to onlookers with a light training session inside of Project Movement.
Mayweather is presently getting ready for a Sept. 14 date at the MGM Grand with Mexican superstar and junior middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Set to take place on Showtime pay per view, Mayweather-Alvarez is by far the biggest boxing event of the year.
Following his workout, a noticeably relaxed Mayweather took time to interact with fans by signing autographs and posing for the occasional photo for the most ardent of supporters.
While Mayweather’s workout inside of the Mandalay Bay was surely entertaining for those watching, it is just a snippet of the kind of work he has been putting in inside of his personal gym ahead of the Alvarez clash.
