Mayweather Mosley 24/7 Episode 1 Recap
Published: Apr 11 2010 by: Jake Emen
The first episode of the Mayweather vs. Mosley 24/7 Reality Series
The first episode of Floyd Mayweaher & Shane Mosley 24 7 premiered on Saturday evening, and the episode starts with an explanation of how these two fighters had never met in the ring despite their long and storied careers but finally it's happening. Mayweather says Mosley is lucky to fight him, and Mosley says that Mayweather is backed into a corner and isn't the best like he says he is.
Mayweather says that everybody can have their own opinion about him, but if you don't really know him then maybe you should just take a step back and look at your own life and your own situation. Mayweather drives to the gym and gets to hitting the pads with uncle Roger to some old school Nas in the background. Floyd Sr. is in the gym, and we see that Floyd maintains a 7-person security detail at the gym.
Then we look back at the Mayweather vs. Marquez bout from last September. Mayweather says he worries about nothing in the ring, and that he made $30 million for fighting Marquez. He's happy the fight went the distance because he got rounds under his belt, and he says that Marquez is a great fighter.. regardless of if he drinks his own urine! Then we flash to Mosley and Hopkins coming into the ring after Mayweather's fight, and Mayweather's anger over the situation.
Now we're in Big Bear taking a look at Mosley's camp, and the peaceful town setting. Mosley is angry that people are still talking about Pacquiao vs. Mayweather - because he doesn't believe Mayweather will win the fight against him. He says he's just as fast as Mayweather is, he has longer arms and can hit him first and that this is a real fight and he knows it. Naazim Richardson is in camp and we flash back to the Mosley vs. Margarito bout, the first time the two had worked together.
Of course, Richardson discovered the illegal wrapping of Margarito's hands. He thought the fight would be canceled and that Margarito would be hauled off to jail for attempted assault. Of course, by the end of the evening Mosley gave Margarito his due punishment in the ring, and in the process rejuvenated his career once again. We hear about the cancellation of the Mosley vs. Berto fight due to the Haitian earthquake, which paved the way for this bout to get signed and sealed after the implosion of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather.
The two sit down for the initial interviews and Mosley says that when Mayweather was just getting started in the sport he told him that when he got up in the ranks he wanted to be just like him. This pisses Mayweather off, he goes off for a while about how he's the face of boxing, he's the cash cow, he holds the PPV record, he made more money in the last two fights than Mosley has made in his career and so forth. Mosley says that as a partner of Golden Boy, he signs Mayweather's checks.
Then we hear about how the Olympic style drug testing will be used in the Mosley vs. Mayweather bout. Both because of the Pacquiao negotiations and because of Mosley's past with BALCO and what he says is his unknowing use of designer steroids before his second bout with Oscar De La Hoya. Mayweather says he's always done it all natural and without help, and Mosley is clearly bothered by the continued accusations and mentions of this past incident.
Members of USADA, United States Anti Doping Agency come into the gym. Mayweather is happy to be taking a test today, and says he is truly trying to take a stand for what he believes is right, because too many fighters are dying, getting brain damage, getting hurt in the ring. Mayweather gives his urine sample, but he's dehydrated and needs to fill it up completely. He also has to wait 2 hours for a cool down period before his blood can be taken.
In a somewhat hilarious scene, the two USADA agents have to accompany Mayweather to his house and hang out with him until they can finish taking his blood. They seem less than comfortable hanging out at Chez Mayweather while he runs his mouth about a basketball game on TV. The entire process for Mayweather to fill up his urine sample takes 5 hours because of how dehydrated his body is from training.
Back to Camp Mosley, we see him relaxing a bit and taking a part of a local bowling league in Big Bear. The other residents say how much of a part of the community Shane is. He's been on the same bowling team for 4 or 5 years, and he enjoys being a part of everyday Big Bear life. The USADA make their third visit to Mosley's camp in the last 10 days. Mosley says it doesn't bother him, he could do it everyday if they wanted to. It's something that needs to be done so he'll do it without problem. He says it's also good for the public since it was played up that he was a steroid user and that's what his career was built on. Of course he says that's not the case.
Back to Vegas, it's the 1st annual Floyd Mayweather Foundation Gala that Mayweather is hosting at the MGM Grand, to help give back to the community and those who need it most. Mayweather Jr. and Sr. get into a dancing competition and we hear a bit about Mayweather's childhood. Floyd says he got his trash talking from both his mother and his father.
We're back at Camp Mosley, where his 19 year old son Shane Jr. is in his camp. Rock Allen is in camp, the 2004 Olympian and undefeated pro who is Naazim Richardson's son. We hear about the stroke Richardson suffered three years ago, and how bleak things were looking. He was in the hospital for a month, and they said he would never walk again or speak again. He's made a dramatic recovery that few would have believed.
We go into montage mode with shots of both camps, both guys training, and both guys talking about the fight. Mosley says Mayweather can say anything he wants as long as he shows up May 1st. Mayweather says of course he fights for money, "ya fucking dummy, I'm a prize fighter!" Some Rocky music is playing in the background as the men train, and the fight is just 21 days away. That wrapped up the first episode of Mayweather vs. Mosley 24/7.
The second episode airs next week, where we'll take a further look at their training camp and preparation. Keep checking in with ProBoxing-Fans.com for recaps of Mayweather vs. Mosley 24 7 and all of the coverage on the big fight coming up in a few weeks.
After looking at that episode and the attitude of the character of Mayweather I am no longer interested in watching his fight. I have been a boxing fan for over twenty eight years and I am genuinely apathetic as to weather he fights even if it is Mosley. He has gone over the top with this whole fake drama and it just a big turn off.
I don’t care about the drama outside the ring.
24/7 we getting that cash we getting the cash!
It was great the first episode
Floyd is the most overrated boxer today!
GREAT MY ASS!
In the beginning of the episode, Floyd was talking about how he was disrespected during the post-fight interview. He is the king of disrespect and here he is crying about being disrespected. A true hypocrite. Gotta give it to him though, he really knows how to play the role of the villain. By the way, if he really wants to “clean up” boxing, he would take this up to the NSAC, not just his fights. Too bad so many fans fell for his mind games.
These guys are Modern day Gladiators. They aren’t Alter Boys or Barney Fife understudies. You can’t choose your parents, nor their actions. May the guys that have PERFECT families please throw the first stones.
And those that are throwing stones, I bet have familes much worse than the Pacquiao’s or Mayweathers.
mayweather who? mosley who? are they pacquiao’s sparring partner lol
On May 1 the whole world will see that it only takes the like of Mosley to beat the world’s most overrated boxer in history. Floyd and his delusional fan base will realize that their idol is nothing but a big-headed, egomaniac raging fool that went over his head in hyping himself to the public. Now he is on his first test against real welterweight, a 38 years old veteran who will show him that speed is not everything. After beating up blown up lightweights Floyd has got to be on the edge noted by his usual trash talking and non stop praising of himself. His “illusion of his own grandeur” will come crashing down on his sorry pathetic face.
GO SUGAR!
LOL Floyd beat Oscar, Fatton and the bloated Marquez and suddenly he is the greatest! Wow!
Floyd is fighting a 38 years old senior citizen for crying out load give the guy a break!
Mosley is gonna try to push the fight most of the time and be aggressive; mayweather is gonna come in there in top shape and do what cotto did to mosley but better. It is gonna be a close fight and a great fight, but mayweather will win. Mayweather is gonna fight just like he described, which is great like always, he has tricks up his sleeve, and there is “no blueprint”. He is too sharp to lose to mosley. He will defend great like always, and will hit mosley in the face enough for 12 rounds and get a decision.
MAYWEATHER is the TRUE P4P KING. 40-0!
are you retard? Record this days doesnt count anymore,, P4P throne, measures of how great and how you beat a threatening opponent… quality over quantity – based on ATG Boxing Analyst Bert Sugar
This espisode was all fake . you can see in gayweather eyes that he talking BS. Saying that boxers are dying because we dont know what they are taking. With all this usada crap. staying with gayweather until after 10pm. all day. the scene was kinda funny and annoying. The USADA people i think were biased. they took shne blood 3 times already against gayweather once.and all off sudden gayweather has a fund raiser. it was all for show. did you u noticed ther was was only about 17minutes long.What does that tell you.they did not have really a good story about this two. sorry shane i like you as a fighter but let us boycott uds boycott this fight because give my hard earned money to this cheat, lying sob LET BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
