Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been known to play mind games throughout his fights. One mind game in recent history immediately comes to memory is when he fought Victor Ortiz. Mayweather invited Robert Garcia and Brandon Rios to the fight to screw with Ortiz’ head. Ortiz has a long history with Garcia and Rios, so it makes sense that Mayweather would do the same thing again while facing Marcos Maidana.
So who did Mayweather invite? Former strength and conditioning coach for the Garcia gym Alex Ariza. Mayweather recently posted a picture on social media of Ariza helping him stretch before a morning run. It’s clear that the mind games have begun. Mayweather may be get help from Ariza before the fight the question remains will he be in his corner during the fight.
