How is Mayweather Dancing and fighting?

[marauder1999]

While watching the game last night a commercial came on announcing the next dancers of "dancing with stars" and floyd was one of them.

He must not think too much of hatton or any opponent for that matter if he has time to dance on t.v. every week. When does he have time to train??

Anyone else think this is kinda nuts?

[lillarry]

I dont know? He will get alot of exposure from being on the show and that may translate into more ppv buys. That is the second most popular reality show behind American Idol. And the workout might be beneficial in that it will keep him in peek condition. I guess we will see on December 8th.

[Thread Stealer]

Maybe Mayweather wants to be like Ray Robinson (who he claims he's better than), but at least Robinson retired before attempting a dancing career.

It may be a good marketing move, but I personally don't think it's a good idea.

From what I hear, that dancing competition is not exactly a walk in the park. It's a lot of hard work and time put in.

[marauder1999]

One of the dancers last year was Ali's daughter and shes in damn good shape but she said it mentally and physically drained her. Floyd and his camp must absolutely think that hatton is a total pushover--I dont know what else they could be thinking.

[Guru_Too_You]

It's "dancing with the stars", not "running with the stars".

And wait until he runs Ricky right into the loss column via TKO.

[Nigel_Benn]

Floyds excuse if he loses is already ready:lol: :lol:

[marauder1999]

You making excsues for this stupid punk losing already? where did you get your bullshit information? They usually practice about 12-15 hours a week on dancing with the stars. Quit spewing BS.

Sorry but I remember ALi saying it took 8 hours a day 6 days a week to be ready to "perform" on national T.V. so that you dont look like an idiot. Not too much training time there.

[The Kurgan]

And the workout might be beneficial in that it will keep him in peek condition. I guess we will see on December 8th.

"This limy isn't going to dance with ya Rock, he's gonna try and break your ribs."

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting serious Foreman-Frazier echoes. Frazier was spending time singing with his band before the fight.

That stupid punk would beat the living shit out of you:yep

[Thread Stealer]

Even if it's 2 to 3 hours a day, I still don't think Floyd should do this.

Hatton's no pushover. Floyd's a gym rat, but still might not be fully prepared mentally for the bout.

If Mayweather loses and the dancing affected him, then it shouldn't be used as an excuse, but rather as a way to fault him for being overconfident.

[marauder1999]

Knwoing Mayweather I expect he would spent a lot more time than 15 hours a week practicing. as competitive as he is he would want a lot more time to rehearse

Exactly what I was thinking MexicanJew. Hes not going to enter the competition with anything less in his mind but too win. With that being said--and being on national live t.v. every week---he might devote alot of time doing this and slack a little on the boxing.

I gaurantee Hatton is happy to hear this though.

All he cares about is the exposure.

[marauder1999]

All he cares about is the exposure.

That exposure will cost him training ring time and im not saying I hate or like him but that will not be good for his upcoming bout. No way no how. Like I said--hatton has got to be rejoicing this news. Mayweather working on his spins and splits then pounding a heavy bag?? Come on now.

[marauder1999]

I am not Mayweather fan, but if Hatton was to win I would like to think he beat a Prime Mayweather, or that at least a Prime Mayweather came to fight. The dnacing with Stars thing is a huge commitment. Emmit Smith, Evander Holyfield, Apollo Ohno, Laila Ali. They all are top professional athletes and they all talked about how hard the training was and how suprised they were and how it was one of the most difficult and physcially and mentally taxing things they had ever done. Holyfield even said that he considered boxing training easier. Laila Ali said it was an 8 hour a day commitment, and she came in third. I know Mayweather is one of the greatest athletes on the planet, but he has never danced before. He may think he is a natural, but it takes years to be a great dancer. Its not something that just happens in 2 months. And know how had he pushes himself, I dont doubt that he want to have six hour rehearsals every day. And if he doesnt do as well, he may end up throwing a fit. he never has responded well to criticism. His mental foucs for the fight could suffer by proxy This was just a bad idea through and through

:good

[Executioner]

Stupid punk wouldn't be stupid enough to get near me. Well, maybe he would. Not scared of his pussy punces.

Wtf :huh

wouldn't be stupid enough to get near you? why, cause you're some big bad ass on the internet? :rofl

[Zhaakal]

:D I love the show, at least the Estonian version. Cool to see Floyd in it but he should have done it after the Hatton fight so that he could concentrate more on boxing.

[MacManJr.]

Floyd is in shape 365 days a year and he sure as hell hasn't forgotten how to box. I'm not worried.

[BeReal]

Floyd said he trains at odd hours, never a set pattern. I don't believe floyd has ever stopped training and besides, he is hitting the nightclubs til all hours of the night. He certainly knows his limitations. Besides, Ricky is probably dropping 25-30 lbs in camp and drinking...........which one is worse??

Ricky does that a lot after a fight, but before his next training camp.

It's still not good to put on that weight and party, but I think Hatton is pretty clean once camp starts.

[kg0208]

No, you weren't right. Both of you are morons.
They average anywhere from 25-35 hours a week. Like it or not you are wrong.

Heavy Workload, Steady Pitfalls

The Sunday rehearsal is a well-organized affair. The stars and their partners arrive throughout the day at 35-minute intervals. They dance on the same stage and with the same music that is beamed to more than 20 million viewers on a Monday night.
The stars have only six days to learn each choreographed dance routine and, as the competition intensifies, this workload will be doubled. Five hours practice a day is the secret behind turning two left feet into sweet feet, though the learning process is not without pitfalls.
"I'm fighting through the mind-numbing pain from Cheryl's heels stepping on my toes," said a smiling Ziering, who uses a digital camera to record the routine and then studies it on his computer when he arrives home.


That's an insert from this article.

And it's from last seasons cast.

[Doc BNB]

Well, how long is the season, and how likely is Mayweather going to remain there? If he's there for the first round only, and still has time for the camp that he wants, this may be an aid instead of a hinderance. If he wins the thing and looks gassed, then he could be in trouble. It's as simple as that.

[Toopretty]

Mayweather is really doing everybody a big favor..He damned for sure is making the fight interesting and by being on the show that is watched by everybody in the US...then he is making a money decision that will dwindle on to his next fight...Shit what if he does good or even wins the shit.. Only thing is injuries and if he works out any different then he has all these years. At 30 you know your body and he knows if anything he has to be in great shape to beat Hatton. The boxing is the easy part...doing it for however many rounds is the key. I watched Collazo/Hatton on youtube to see how Hatton looked...those who say the fight will look nothing like it dont know crap...Collazo did simple things like roll his shoulder and counter and hit Hatton at will and made Hatton miss and his Hatton's only way to score was to clinch and hit on the break and clinch again...If Floyd stays away from the Hugathon Hatton is an easy win.. Hatton cannot win without holding constantly.

[kg0208]

Learn how to read, dipshit.

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Is that your way of admitting you were wrong?

Or in your world does 12-15 hours a week equal 30?

[kg0208]

You know what hyperbole is, you stupid fucking ghetto trash?

Here's a hint:

Five hours practice a day is the secret behind turning two left feet into sweet feet, though the learning process is not without pitfalls.

AKA, if you are a clueless fucking moron, which you probably have a great bit of experience with, you COULD POSSIBLY TAKE THAT LONG.

A better question is where the fuck you got the 30 hours average figure, dipshit.
All that typing and nothing to say:lol::lol:

They have 6 days to learn the routines. 5 hours a day is how much they practice. The hyperbole was only used to illustrate how much time and effort they put into it. Do you know what 5 times 6 is?

We have one poster telling you that Ali said she practiced 6 hours a day already. I posted an article thats says they practice 5 hours a day. You have posted nothing but a guess that has turned out to be wrong. :deal

[kg0208]

Here is another one that says 20-25 hours.

So we have got 20-25 hours, or 25 to 35 hours depending on your sources.

Basic Math: Does Dancing judge Len Goodman know how to add? That's what all of the celebrity and pro dancers were wondering after he admonished the group on the air for not training enough. Goodman said this year's cast is only averaging 13 hours of rehearsals in between performances while last year's cast put in 19 hours each week. An impromptu PEOPLE poll concluded that with the exception of basketball star Clyde Drexler (whom we couldn't ask because he made a hasty post-show exit), most couples are averaging 20-25 hours of training each week.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

I am sure I can find more if you want to continue on this path.

Here is another.

Heather Mills’ chances in the US dance show ‘Dancing With The Stars’ are getting dimmer with each passing day, as she has pulled out of the regular practice sessions for the show. Mills, 39, is experiencing severe back problems and she is almost struggling to continue in the show. The back problem has restricted Mills practice session to three hours a week, while the rest of the participants rehearse for nearly 40 hours.


[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[kg0208]

Ali is a dumb bitch. I don't care what she had to say. She has no idea what the average hours per week are, and you have no idea if she's even honest anyway.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yes, we should believe you instead of the dancers who have put the work in. :deal

Why don't you just say you were wrong. Even saying you were wrong and a fuck you will do lol, but this arguing with your opinion as your only backup against links from articles is pathetic.

[kg0208]

Uhh, that's the important one. The judges know what kind of time these guys are putting in. Not these bullshit "stars" that make a career at being professional bullshiters. Grow a fucking brain.

Yah, the judges are actually at their dancing sessions right?

Lets see.....3 judges, 12 stars. I guess the each can be in 4 places at one? :lol::lol::lol:

:|:|:|:| some more Zuras. Being wrong isn't awful. Just man up.

[kg0208]

Dumb fucking ghetto trash, you just posted a fucking source that said ONE OF THE MOTHER FUCKING JUDGES SAID THEY WERE ONLY REHEARsING 13 HOURS A WEEK. Do they really grow them as stupid as you these days?


:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Yes, and the dancers said he was wrong. Tell us oh wise one, how does the JUDGE know what the dancers are doing?

[kg0208]

Ya, you trust the dumb bitch riding her fathers legacy. I'll trust the judge. You probably think OJ was innocent too.

Answer my question Zuras? How do the judges know how much work they are doing every day?

[kg0208]

Tell me why the judge would lie. Dude, you lost. Go back to your garbage can.

He didn't lie. He didn't know.

I lost :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

You realize that the judge ALSO said that the cast from the season before was training 19 hours a week.

Sure, all the dancers are liars.....they just do this for a living:lol::lol::lol:

You still haven't answered the question. How would he know?

[kg0208]

How do you know he wouldn't know, you stupid ghetto trash? And how did he not lie? He fucking SAID ON NATIONAL TV they only trained 13 fucking hours. MORON, why is your dumb ass still talking?

It's like he can't read or something.

How would I know? Common sense. He can't possibly be in 12 places at once now can he? So he can't keep tabs on them. Some of them don't even train in the same state each week :lol::lol::lol:

If don't know something, and you say it wrong, it's not a lie. Look up the meaning of the word.

[kg0208]

Who do you think pays the fucking trainers? Not the celebs. The show. Does he have access that info? I'd guess so.




Huh? He SAID he DOES know somehting that according to your stupid fucking-moronic-ghetto-trash-ass-that-should-have-shut-the-fuck-up-twenty-posts-ago he in fact did not know. I cannot believe there are people as fucking stupid as you alive on this planet. We really need to bring the whole eugenics thing back to the states.
You can say you know that your wife isn't cheating on you. If she is, are you a liar or misinformed? Damn....you really are as dumb as you type. You have to know something factual then say something different for it to be lie. He didn't know....hell the article says "Can Len Goodman add?" clearly implying he was WRONG.

So you are basing this off of guessing that he may have access to their payment records? You're gonna look really stupid when I tell you they aren't paid by the hour :lol::lol::lol::lol: That info won't help him at all:deal

So lets review. Your basic argument is that the judge, who isn't with the dancers or the stars for most of the week, said they were putting in a certain amount of training and that each and every star and professional dancer LIED when they said they were putting in more. :thumbsup

[kg0208]

Dude, anyone that's followed this thread has written you and tweedle-dee off as such massive fucking retards you might as well make new accounts if you ever want anyone to do anything but ignore your "dipshitry".
:|:|:|:|:|

Get some proof next time before running off at the mouth kid. And get another alias while you're at it.

[Executioner]

Zuras is a douchebag

[kg0208]

I agree. Fucking morons.
:|:|:|:|:|

By the way, they are paid by how many weeks they are on the show. A base salary for the first few weeks, then bonuses for every week there after. So how does that help them find out how many hours they train again?

[kg0208]

Are you fucking 12 years old. How the hell is that supposed to show us up?

He's just a little racist. I remember him now. The one who brought up out of nowhere how Michael Vick shouldn't get special treatment cuz he's black even though no one had even mentioned his race in the thread.

He just goes around tossing in racially charged shit (it seems to be all he thinks about) in threads.

[41fever]

either he's too cocky and thinks he's superman, although Hatton's style may be tailor made for PBF.

or its his excuse for a loss cuz he sees something in Hatton that threatens his undefeated status

who knows!

[kg0208]

You racist cunts don't like people pointing out your racist bullshit, eh? Good. I like it when you fuckers squeal.
Or you're just racist. No one mentioned race but you.

White Supremacist right?

[kg0208]

Trying to change the subject is the smartest thing your stupid ass has done in your entire life, i'd imagine.

I am waiting for you to provide any proof of anything you have said. I don't need to show more proof.

[ripcity]

When dose the show air?
I don't realy floolw the show. I understand the concept one cleberty is paired with a competitive dancer and they compete with other teams.
Can anyone conferm when the acatule compption takes place? It would not surspise me if all or most of it has all ready taken place. If there are comercherls for the show that shows this years contestants danceing that is a hint that the answer is yes. I would think this would be true for any rounds that dose not include a phone in or internet fan vote. Those would have to be done live or on the same day.
I don't realy no anything about danceing or what it takes to train to be a competive dancer. Is it possible that Mayweither views the dance training as boxing training? I rember from watching HBO's 24/7 show Mayweither is a little unorthdox in his training methodes.
I have no probblem with Mayweither being on the show for publicity reasons but becuse it is around the same time as the Hatton fight it is not the best choice he could make. I'm sticking to my Mayweiher 7 rounds to 5 rounds for Hatton prediction.

Hes doing it to try to get mainstream SRL type appeal and sell more tickets for the upcoming fight. He still wont be a DLH or SRL, but it should help get his name out more to the general nonboxing fan population.

It is a very bad idea to do while training, but I think PBF can pull it off. Hes naturally blessed with talent like Roy Jones was and can do some crazy things while training and still be able to win come fight night.

Hatton might take advantage and surprise us, but I still expect PBF to win. However if Hatton wins, I dont want to hear any bullshit excuses that PBF wasnt 100% because of the dance show. Its his choice to do it.

Well when Jones did these types of things, it wasn't when he was about to fight James Toney you know? Not saying Hatton is as good as Toney (maybe he is, who knows) but PBF is taking a risk here.

[elTerrible]

He is taking a risk no doubt. Most fighters wouldnt be able to pull something like that off. I think PBF should be able to get away with it because he already trains constantly anyways and probably weighs no more than 155 as we speak. Since he doesnt cut much water weight he is already in good shape and really just needs to work on a gameplan and strategy for Hatton, he is already at a high fitness level.

I also think he will still get the boxing training in. Hes a bit OD anyway so Im sure he feels he HAS to train. He manages to train in vegas which would be hard for most people to do. Winky came in the Hops fight looking like shit after training in vegas, he partied too much.

[Brickhaus]

They tape those shows MONTHS in advance..

Can't you guys even think anymore??

No they don't. They didn't even select the participants until a few weeks ago, and the first episode is on the 24th. I'm pretty sure that the competitive segments are filmed just a couple days before they're aired, and the results shows (where all the people have to do dance numbers again) are definately live.

I hope PBF doesn't sprain an ankle or something doing this. Still, if he's still training 4 - 6 hours a day for boxing and training 5 - 7 hours a day on dancing, it should help his conditioning, if anything. The other concern might be making weight. If the dancing (and the lifting up his dance partner, etc.) causes his weight distribution to shift by building out his legs and back, together with having gone up a bit in weight for his last fight, he might have more trouble than usual making weight. Usually it's never an issue for Floyd, but I could see it being the case this time.

They claim the show is live competition wise too.....just like Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. I believe the whole show is live.

[Jinx]

i think the show actually helps PBF's conditioning...the dancing will keep PBF in shape, and he will still do a training camp before the fight...

[marauder1999]

Helping his stamina, yes, but ive never seen him run out of gas. If anything he would need to hit the bag some more and last time I checked I didnt think dancing was practicing pummeling your partner with a jab.
