By Jason Kim: I kind of wish that Juan Manuel Marquez hadn’t been so out in the open about letting HBO show him drinking his own pee on the HBO Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 episode 2. I think that was a huge mistake by Marquez, because it seems like that’s overshadowing talk about his talent. I guess there’s something inherently nasty about the thought of someone actually drinking there own urine.
It’s totally off putting and hard to even conceive of someone doing unless they were trapped out in a desert or the wilderness somewhere without any fresh water. Marquez, no doubt, drank his own pee with good intentions, thinking that it was a good chance to reclaim some lost vitamins.
But, come on, if you need some vitamins so badly, pull out a jar and pop some more in your pie hole and replenish that way. By drinking urine, which is filled all kinds of waste and bad things, I could see this doing more harm than good for Marquez.
I’m no doctor but drinking urine can be good for you. Water and a few vitamins is what Marquez needed, not a glass full of dark yellow pee. Beyond the physical effects of drinking the witches brew, I can’t help but wonder whether this will be something that boxing fans think about when the topic of Marque pops up.
It is so bizarre that you just can’t not think about Marquez drinking that stuff. It will be even worse for Marquez if he ends up getting beaten by Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 19th. Then all that pee will have been guzzled for nothing, and that’s kind of a dreary thought.
If you’re going to do something entirely distasteful like drinking your own pee, there should be a payoff in the end, right? But with Marquez, he’s facing long odds to win the fight and it’s not worth the trouble to stoop to this level. It’s kind of like a lottery for Marquez.
His chances aren’t good in beating Mayweather, so why drink that stuff? I think Marquez would have been much better served to do some other way out there kind of thing, like go have his palms read by a fortune teller. Anything but don’t drink your own pee.
And then letting HBO film and talking it about it as if he was casually mentioning the weather or something. It just seems to far out there for me and something that Marquez didn’t need to do. If he’s not good enough to beat Mayweather by drinking water like normal people do, then so be it. And while we’re on the topic of nastiness, what is Marquez doing drinking uncooked bird eggs?
That’s not healthy and can lead to a bad case of Salmonella poisoning. That’s a dangerous condition and can be fatal. That’s why it’s important to always cook eggs. You don’t want to try and imitate Rocky Balboa in the move “Rocky” because it can lead to death.
