Sparring sessions are what established fighters use to help up and coming fighters either in their stables or in their promotional umbrella get their name out there. DLH was famous for shit "leaking" about fighters under his promotion handling him sparring, Floyd constantly does it with fighters he's fond of i.e. the Irish amateur that supposedly crushed his body and Floyd made no mention of it.
It's a good way to get some hype around a guy without losing any yourself because in the end all that matters is what you can do under the lights.

So while I agree some of this is for hype, sometimes the reports are accurate and could be indicates where a fighters head is at.
This always happens in pacquiao camps though so it's expected.
