Instead, when it came to Saturday’s premiere of Showtime’s
second All Access: Mayweather vs. Maidana episode—prior to its
“Heavy Hitters” fight broadcast from Carson, California—the best
line of the night came from, of all people, veteran family tree
actor Marlon Wayans.

“What person that speaks Spanish are you going to beat up on
this time?” Wayans said.
Though it doesn’t give Maidana—the reigning WBA welterweight
champion—the credit he deserves for the status he’s earned, the
query from the A Haunted House 2 star does illustrate the basic
storyline of each of the docudrama’s three incarnations since
Mayweather signed with Showtime 14 month ago.

And as it was for Mexican wannabes Robert Guerrero and Saul
Alvarez preceding him, the tale being spun for Money’s rugged
Argentine is one of a back-to-basics father wading into the pool
owned by the flashy, opulent and unapologetically brash
five-division and pound-for-pound kingpin.’I am a champion and I am
ready to fight for my title,’ said Maidana. ‘Most importantly, I am
preparing to beat Mayweather. The last thing that I’m worried about
is my title. I want to just train and beat Mayweather.
‘This is the most important part of my career. The fight with
Adrien Broner gave me a lot of exposure, but this fight itself is
the biggest fight of my career and it would be a tremendous upset
and that’s what I’m training for, to upset the world and to do it
for my country. It would be huge for my country.’
Going into the fight Maidana is regarded as a huge underdog,
yet, against Broner last December he was in the same position
before his brutal annihilation left the man tipped as the next star
of boxing truly humbled.
And again, the Santa Fe assassin insists his role as the dark
horse only makes him more determined to succeed.
‘It doesn’t bother me at all [what people say],’ he added. ‘What
motivates me is that if I win, I’m going to beat the best in the
world and that’s what motivates me. I’m going to go out to win
it.
‘If others haven’t been able to do it, I’m training to do it.
I’m training to be the first one to do it.’Where there are men in
physical conflict, there are always profiteers on the
sidelines.
Back in action for the first time since trouncing Mexican
superstar “Canelo” Alvarez, boxing’s pound-for-pound king, Floyd
Mayweather Jr. returns to the scene of the crime, MGM Grand Garden
Arena, this Saturday night (May, 3, 2014) when he takes on
Argentine bruiser Marcos Maidana, who last seen thumping “Money”
understudy Adrien Broner.
MMAmania will have LIVE coverage of “Mayweather vs. Maidana,”
starting with the Showtime pay-per-view (PPV) at 9 p.m. ET. As is
customary, the bookies have pulled out all the stops, providing a
plethora of options for the enterprising gambler.Mayweather, the
sport’s undisputed pound-for-pound king got noticeably choked up
while thanking many of the members of his team that aren’t
household names and often get overlooked.
He quizzically asked the assembled media if anyone would be able
to solve the “Mayvinci” code in the ring, and pointed out that he’s
gotten used to hearing the litany of reasons why a certain fighter
would be the one to beat him.
Be it good power, good speed or a good jab, Mayweather pointed
out that he’s beaten every single person placed in front of
him.
Earlier at the press conference, the pound-for-pound king
announced a $15,000 dollar donation to the Susan G. Komen
Foundation to assist breast cancer survivors, and that he would be
bringing 46 survivors of breast cancer to the fight as his
guests.
