Marquez – The Real Star of Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 series
September 14th, 2009
By Manuel Perez: As another fine site already pointed out, Juan Manuel Marquez has thus far stolen the show in the HBO Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 series. Never mind the one small blip on the series where Marquez let slip that he sometimes drinks his own pee, he has shown again and again to have more star quality than the rather boring to watch Mayweather. It’s something that goes beyond words that are said obviously, because Marquez’s words in Spanish are shown in subtitles rather than in English.
I don’t know but maybe it’s the look that Mayweather has on his face when he’s talking about them. As if on cue, Mayweather starts looking teary-eyed and I’m like, ‘here we go again, Mayweather’s going to cry.’ I’ve had it up to here with Mayweather crying I don’t like seeing that kind of thing. Men in my culture don’t cry. We don’t show emotion when we’re hurt, bleeding or whatever.
This is why I find it so repellent to see Mayweather with the water works. Thankfully, Mayweather spared us with the crying or the hound dog eyes in this latest episode. I’m praying that Mayweather keeps it together emotionally on the final episode on Friday night. Maybe I’m sick of Mayweather because I’ve seen his act on past HBO 24/7 series where he’s done his thing with the bragging and all.
Now, it’s like Mayweather has become a caricature of himself and it’ forlorn. Unless he could remake himself with every episode, it’s old, played and beyond boring to me. I’ve seen it and want to turn the channel. The makers of the HBO 24/7 series need to see what I’m seeing and should try to put Mayweather in different environments that can get him to show some new emotion where he can give the poor viewers another side to Mayweather’s stale persona. Of course, HBO is not going to do it because they’re asleep at the wheel, just blinding following Mayweather around without giving direction.
The good thing about Marquez is that he doesn’t need any kind of prodding by HBO. The guy is a star without the need to be put in elaborate settings. Marquez doesn’t need props like Mayweather because he’s got that movie star appeal to him. Marquez is like James Dean and Marlon Brando all rolled up into one. Marquez doesn’t need to lift a finger to get attention from the HBO viewers because he has star appeal.

First of all Marquez has faced better opposition. Second Castillo beat Mayweather in the first fight. Third Mayweather is a good fighter but not as good as MARQUEZ. Fourth Mayweather likes to run for the first 6 rounds in all his fights. Fifth Mayweather is coming off of a huge lay off.Six Marquez has knocked out his last two opponents who have never previously been ko in their career. Finally Mayweather talks alot I just hope he can keep up with all the punches that Marquez is going to be throwing at him. Marquez by decision! And for all you Pacman fans sorry to break the news to you Cotto will not only defeat Pacquiao he will Knock him out. A natural welterweight Cotto and Pacquiao who has only faced Delahoya at 147 will have serious problems against a true warrior like Cotto. Beating a dehydrated Delahoya Is one thing but trying to beat Cotto a strong true welterweight is another. I just hope pacman doesn’t rank out at the last minute, because he has more than his hands full. To be honest Marquez vs Cotto would be a way more exciting fight than Mayweather vs Pacquiao, maybe they can be on the undercard lol. Just a suggestion.”
flipper-star wishes people would talk about Cotto-paqia. That fight is nowhere near as exciting as this one. JMM is gonna win and then manny won’t have no choice but to face his nightmare again.
I HELP RUN AN AMETEUR BOXING CLUB IN ENGLAND ;IALWAYS ENCOURAGE THE BOYS TO WATCH ALL OF MANUELS BOUTS,TO HIGHLIGHT ALL THE QUALITIES NEEDED TO BE A WORLD CHAMPION ,SO GOOD LUCK FROM ENGLAND.
hey manuela, what do you mean star quality? hahahaha…you are stupid… look at all the amount of publicity that pacquiao and cotto has compared to your star quality marquez. you know why he suddenly got famous? because he drinks his pee, something as normal person will never do! but i guess you yourself probably has tried it already.
In the 24/7 series Mayweather looked ripped, fast and strong. Marquez looked fat and slow. Even Nacho admitted that Marquez’s speed was affected by the weight gain. This is turning into a tune up fight for Mayweather. Mayweather wins TKO in 8th round. After this fight, Marquez should fight Edwin Valero then retire.
Well said insaned chaos! This person is the most biased writer i know. A great writer is objective and leaning towards facts not fiction. No great writer put his own agenda and emotion towards a particular subject. I guess that only reveal what ur true potentials are mr. Perez. Im sorry that i gonna be the one breaking u the bad news but u can’t be a called journalist or a sport journalist for that matter. You have to accept the ugly truth. Ur just a wanna be. A blogger..
I know why it doesn’t work for you when Mayweather talks about his family…it’s because you ONLY whack off to Marquez.
Floyd wil make him look ordinary and then beat the winner of cotto and pacquio. The real test for mayweather will be Sugar shane mosely.
Don’t matter chit Mayweather will win a boring fight on Points & then he will beat Pacman next.
If Marquez wins, he can prove to the world that his urine therapy is really working. He can make a profit by selling in bottles.
I see where your coming from about Marquez. I agree he’s a good man. Nothing wrong with being an emotional individual though..
Marquez appears as himself. He is a real champion and he has the soul of a fighter.
JMM is James Dean and Marlon Brando all rolled up into one? You are one stand-up comedian LOL.
JMM wasn’t even warmly welcomed when he went to whatever soccer stadium it was LOL. He was off to the side and the Mexicans didn’t even cheer that much when he was introduced LOL.
Funny Manuela as always.
si’mon que si! se chingo pinche chango mayweather
simon ese puro mexicano! nobody wants to see a baby cry like mayweather,somebody needs to take him to the barrio and show him how to become a man.Marquez is a true mexicano and not like that leva de la hoya, MARQUEZ ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!
