Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s recent confession is just another reason why we shouldn’t believe everything we see on television.
Mayweather made an appearance before the Nevada State Athletic Commission today, after being called in to speak about an intense sparring session that was featured on an episode of his Showtime reality series.
He defended himself by dropping a bombshell, claiming nearly everything on the show is fake.
Floyd basically saying that All Access is NOT reality and is heavily edited

Floyd: All Access we’re able to edit and chop footage the way we want

Floyd said there were 3-4 breaks in that 30-minute sparring session with Rahman Jr and Cameron. So that was BS. Nice reality TV

Floyd explaining how they used fake marijuana on All Access. The credibility of the series is taking a beating during this. Wow.

I asked Floyd why anyone should watch All Access if it’s all staged. He smiled, said you guys do a great job and got on an elevator

So according to Mayweather, nearly everything featured on the show is fake. From the footage that showed (fake) joints being rolled up during parties at his Las Vegas mansion, to the dialogue used to express emotions during even the most heated moments on the show.
The sparring match that was initially called into question was between boxers Donovan Cameron and Hasim Rahman Jr., who fought for 31 minutes straight.
