    You can and you will , wild card is full of fighters at the top level, also the mayweather gym will have fighters training on a regular basis.

    My brother visited both amongst other gyms in the LA and LV.

    so did he have to call up in advance, was there a wait to get in? obviously i would not expect to get in on days when floyd is there doing heavy training or when all access are there filming. as much info as you can give would be great thanks champ

    You can walk into Wildcard anyday, but they have started restricting access when Pac is training.

    You can go in to most of them without a call in advance infact you can train at the wildcard if you have the time , just dont expect to see Roach there or Manny , most of the time its a full time gym for local pro's and amatures.

    Mayweather gym is more of a tour rather than a workout as im not sure its a 24 7 type place.
