Boxing fans will get special access tonight of Floyd Mayweather and his training camp for his May 5th clash against Miguel Cotto. Thanks to his video feed setup through Ustream, fans will be able to watch live video from his gym in Las Vegas of Mayweather training. The live Mayweather training video will be available at 7 pm Eastern, 4 pm Pacific, tonight.
You can check out the feed by visiting Mayweather’s official site.
It’s not the first time Mayweather has done with, and while you can criticize his tendency to be media-hungry and do things just to get attention, you have to love the kind of special access he’s giving here to his fans. It’s the kind of savvy-marketing tactic that has made Mayweather the biggest star in the sport right now, whether you love him or hate him, and it’s the kind of thing that boxing should be doing more of to establish a better connection with its fans.
So if you’re curious to see how Mawyeather is looking in training camp, what the atmosphere is like in his gym as he trains for Cotto, what he has in store with his workout or anything else, you can watch it straight from the source tonight, weeks before HBO’s 24/7 premieres.
