Mayweather-Marquez HBO 24/7 Predictions
June 29th, 2009
By Joel Nepomuceno: So Mayweather/ Marquez has officially been rescheduled for September 19th at the MGM Grand. With the rescheduled fight, boxing fans can also look forward to the HBO Series, Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 which lets us step into their lives before they step into their rings. Catchy yes, and I’ll be the first to admit, the past series’ have gotten me pumped about their respective bouts. De La Hoya-Pacquiao 24/7, Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7, Mayweather-Hatton 24/7 all got me even more excited about fights that I was looking forward to seeing already.
With that, I’m sure there are a few more things to look forward to when the Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 Series starts on HBO, August 29th. And so, here are the things that I predict we’ll be seeing in the upcoming series:
Floyd Mayweather
In a moment when Mayweather is being Mayweather, he looks at the camera and says, “Is Marquez ready to die? Because I am~when I fight, I put my life on the line, I’m ready to die, is he?” as the camera cuts to him doing sit ups, or doing that pitter patter thing he does on the pads with his uncle.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Juan Manuel Maruez in sweats, tirelessly hits a big tire with a hammer. He says that he deserved to win both Pacquiao fights as they cut to shots of him trading blows with Pacquiao, then Pacquiao’s hands raised in victory, crying and the look of disappointment of Marquez’s face.
Floyd Mayweather
At least once, there will be a shot of Floyd Mayweather, rapping as he throws money into the camera. He’ll make some sort of rap about claiming what’s rightfully his, and how he’s got so much money, then cut to a shot of him, listening to music in his Ferrari as he strolls down the Vegas Strip.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shots of him playing with his 12 kids. In an emotional moment, he reveals that everything he does, he does for his kids. He wants to provide his kids the best life possible and that’s why he’s chosen the life he has now.
Floyd Mayweather
Ditto. Except that when the show Mayweather’s kids, Mayweather will be chasing them around in a Segway.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shots of the great Nacho Beristain talking about how Marquez is almost like his son. The love they share is similar to that of a father and a son, and it brings a tear to his eye. The viewers eyes become watery as well.
Floyd Mayweather
As soon as Nacho Beristain’s eyes begin to water up, they quickly cut to Roger Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather says that it was a hard decision for him to go with his uncle instead of his father. Floyd Mayweather Sr. says, “That’s my son. No matter what, what happens between us…that will always be my son”.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Marquez tells the camera that he knows that nobody gives him a chance, but that why he is working so hard, to prove the experts wrong. To rightly claim his title, as the #1 Pound for Pound in the World. Then they cut to shots of him training, as the music gets more intense, so do his workouts.
Both
As the finale comes to a close, the music starts to get louder, while interchanging shots of Marquez and Mayweather trade on the TV. Liev Schrieber begins his conclusion about two warriors, from two different walks of life, colliding inside the ring. The music gets louder and the training shots of both fighters get more intense. Then it they cut to, Mayweather-Marquez September 19th on HBO PPV.
Once the music starts to play, I’m hooked again. I gladly fork over my $50, and anticipate an exciting fight. I get two counter punchers playing it safe with Mayweather winning a unanimous decision, neither of them ever being staggered. I look down in disgusts, as I know that HBO has got me again!

i think mayweather ko12
El_Cuadrilatero_Boxing – who’s crying because they have another 24/7? I enjoy these and the point of the article really was just to poke fun at the two personalities because their lives and how they’re portrayed are so predictable. I love watching the 24/7′s and that’s why I say that even though I’m not excited about the fight, I’ll end up buying it on PPV because they 24/7 will get me hooked.
yeah, that boi marquez is going to be easy asskickin for floyd. the PACMAN broke that boi marquez realgood yrs ago, when marquez wuz in his prime. this is easy money for may all credit to pac.
I’m confident that I am not alone when I say that I would have prefered Pacquiao vs Mayweather or Mosley vs Mayweather. However, having been a Marquez fan for many years and witnessing pretty much what could be considered “black-listing” or “avoidance” by the other great Mexican fighters of the time, mainly Barrera and Morales. I’m glad that Marquez is getting his time in the lime-lite, even if it’s in the twilight of his career. When Marquez was in his prime knowone famous would fight the guy. He was comparable to a prime Winky Wright(pre-Mosley Fight) when it came to fame. Most analists and hard-core boxing fans knew that Marquez was a tremendous talent. Yet, he was almost always cast into the shadows. Mayweather, I’m guessing?…should turn out to be a little too much for the Great Mexican fighter. However, I do expect Marquez to bring the fight to Mayweather. Marquez has become more offensive minded in his strategies inside the ring as of the last few years. One of the problems for Marquez I see is if he shoots his lead left upper-cut against Mayweather? He will definately receive a straight right counter for his efforts,
Mayweather is an extremely fast counter-puncher. Yet, Mayweather does not like to be hit. Mayweather considers being hit an insult. Well, IMHO Mayweather will be insulted often during this match-up because Marquez throws from awkward angles and is never really consistant with his angle of approach. Marquez will throw punches Mayweather has never seen before, and they will be coming with scattered timing and power differences. After Marquez and Pacquiao, Hopefully?…Mayweather will fight the top welter-weights in his division.
To be honest when mayweather fights everyone watches this will be the same in september , marquez draws in pretty impressives crowdws to so when the two meet it will be a very very intresting chess match with mayweather winning on points
Only the Marquez and Mayweather fans believe that this will be a great fight. However, the regular buying public disagree. But I guess they are not enough JMM & PBF fans…if not ticket sales would be so brisk making the promoters happy.
Come on, nothing anybody writes will convince Marquez fans that he got a gift draw due to an error admitted by a judge; or that he was hurt and almost k-oed in fight 2. No matter what JMM fans say or quote so called experts, Pacman fans still believe our man won. In fact we are sure the people who are making these statements are indeed biased JMM fans.
Let me prove how Manny crosses over to not just his own loyal fans. Try to picture a 3rd fight between JMM & Manny or a fight with Floyd. Do you think (a) that people would be saying it is boring? (b) That ticket slaes would be a question mark? (c) People woud be asking why Floyd is facing a smaller man? (d) That these pages would not be file with comments about the match up? (e)That this writer would actually have to write such an article apparently to incite people to get fired up? (f) That newspares and TV stations would not already be hyping the fight?
Let’s forget about the diehard fans of each man because they mostly tend to be blind. Some JMM and Pacman fans however will make reasonably fair comments and analysis of their fighter. I for one feel Pacman may be biting off more than he can chew against Cotto. Of course I still feel he may find a way to exploit Cotto’s many deficiencies, namely suspect chin and stamina problems. But to do that he may have to expose his own, punching a bigger man & taking body shot from a bigger man.
Most JMM fans do not want to face the fact; Floyd is bigger, stronger, younger and has been in more big fights than JMM. Most casual fans see this & believe it. Plus they both counterpunch. We feel Floyd is again cherry picking.
The net result is that the casual fan does not feel anything and is not excited. Who wants to pay $50 to see this? JMM took lots of punishment from Pacman, Casamayor and Baby Bull and they are small men. Floyd is not a big puncher but speed & combos can = power, if you don’t see them. zzzzz, yawn.
I am already asleep & the fight has not even started. Please, puhleeezzze, don’t wake me up unless by fluke, JMM pulls a major upset. Yes upsets can and do happen. I will ask, how man non JMM fans will put $ on anything but a boring lopsided UD win or late cuts stoppage by Floyd?
I wish they would just cancel this fight and let’s see Pacman vs Floyd, Cotto, Mosley or JMM. Or Floyd vs Mosly, Cotto or Williams.
JMM is a real nice guy & a great boxer but he is broing in & out of the ring. That is why despite a very great career he needs an exciting & known name to create interest & get big $$$$.
paquiao destroyed marquez? pac demolished marquez twice ? jajajajajajajajajaja come on dude have you ever watched those two fights O! I forgot you are one of those blind paquiao’s fans who thinks pac is unbeatable but guess what marquez kicked his butt, sorry for you dreamer
holy crap if you think this fight will be boring you don’t have any idea about boxing nor marquez. so this fight gonna be so excite it because marquez is a true warrior;not because floyd
floyd win 12rds ko. marquez was never the same after pacuiao destroyed him. how ironic that now floyd is fighting a shot fighter that the pacman demolished twice, four times in his trunk flat.
floyd can thanks manny later by watching him and vow to give hom·mage ringside when he send cotto to a retirement.
Nice screen play.
Great article!!!
oi anon. so you dont think a harder fight for floyd would be cotto, mosley or williams. shutuup about pacquiao he’s nothin 2 do with this.
Had quite a chuckle at this article, good work.
I can wait for the replay in this one. Juan Manuel Marquez is gone hit very hard Mayweather’s ribs.
This article is proposturous and a total disrespect to the great Mexican warrior Juan Manuel Marquez. A fighter who laid the blueprint on how to beat Pacquiao and whom many boxing experts had winning both fights against Pacquiao.
this wont be a boring fight! marquez gives everything when he fights and in my view is the best p4p…… are people going to say the same thing if floyd fights the pacman! theres too many critics in this sport
will this fight and the 24/7 series b shown in britain?????
i really hope JMM wins
gud article! this fights a wierd one tho cus it cud turn out to be gud jus need a big shot to land for either to get it goin!
ur 24/7 prediction is so true its funny!!
manny called out cotto and cotto dont run from fights so its on and popin!! but besides the cotto hateing….. i think jjm vs. pbf is going 2 be a pritty good fight! i think maywether is going 2 put presure on jjm and try 2 knock him out 2 prove 2 pacman hes better than him, 2 brag he did somthing pacman could not!
coming back after 18 months against a lightweight who is one if not the p4p king sounds pretty good to me.LIAM SANTIAGO all i can say is i hope your not a cotto hypocritical fan, since hes fighting smaller pacman and no1 thinks theres anything wrong with that, not giving mosley or clottey a rematch or fighting paul williams. wheres the consistency people
no way it will be mosley margacheto will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good article that. I agree. Why does Mayweather (a weterweight) come back and fight a lightweight, when there was mosley, cotto, williams, etc etc. surely picking on a lightweight is just harsh.
yo! ur all mad stupid i met marquez and that guy is cool and he is a good fighter this is gonna be the fight fo the year
i totally agree that its a stupid match…
counter vs counter…
bah…
i can sleep all day..
nice predictions
