Mayweather vs. Marquez 24/7 starts Aug. 29 on HBO!
By FightFan News Wire (30-Jun-2009)

With the intriguing showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez rescheduled for Sept. 19 in Las Vegas, HBO Sports’ groundbreaking “24/7” reality franchise, which has captured seven Sports Emmy® Awards, will premiere MAYWEATHER/MARQUEZ 24/7 on Saturday, August 29!

The all-new, four-episode, all-access series spotlights a host of intriguing storylines, with Floyd Mayweather, the sport’s most irrepressible superstar, returning after a year-and-a-half absence to face Juan Manuel Marquez, one of boxing’s most accomplished performers, as they prepare for their September pay-per-view showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Ross Greenburg said: “Now that the fight has been rescheduled, we are excited to resume production. This latest edition of ‘24/7’ features all the ingredients that we look for in greenlighting the ‘24/7’ franchise: big-time boxing stars, engaging storylines and in Floyd’s case, a larger-than-life personality that is tailor-made for reality television.”

Episodes two and three of MAYWEATHER/MARQUEZ 24/7 debut on subsequent Saturdays – September 5 (10:00-10:30 p.m.) and 12 (10:00-10:30 p.m.) – while the finale debuts Friday, September 18 (9:30-10:00 p.m.), just one night before the fight. All four episodes will have multiple replay dates on HBO, and the series will also be available on HBO On Demand.

MAYWEATHER/MARQUEZ 24/7 will provide exclusive behind-the-scenes access, along with in-depth interviews, as these determined warriors prepare for their mega-fight. This is Mayweather’s third “24/7” appearance, while Marquez is making his HBO reality series debut. Regarded as the best boxer of his era, the undefeated Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) is back after a brief self-imposed retirement. A training camp injury forced the fight date to be reset to Sept. 19.

Marquez is a dynamic fighter (50-4-1, 37 KOs) from Mexico City who shares at least one thing with his flashy opponent: They’re both willing to fight anybody in the sport, regardless of division. Marquez is moving up from the lightweight ranks to challenge boxing’s most provocative star.

Storylines for this fast-paced series will include the interaction between Mayweather and his uncle/trainer, Roger Mayweather, and Marquez’s rock-solid relationship with his longtime trainer Ignacio Beristain.

i bet everyone that this will be a boring fight…2 counter punchers! hahaha what a match up.

Pound4Pound Says:

Unfortunately, the fight will still be held on HBO PPV.

If Mayweather has retained at least 65-70% of his skills, expect him to win this fight by late stoppage.

ILoveBoxing Says:

i agree with kentox…. if you are a ture boxing fan this fight won’t be boring if your not a boxing fan and you like Pacquiao because of how he fights then this fight is not for or maybe it is cause Marquez is a warrior and will bring the fight but Floyd will still destroy him Floyd is a masterful boxer the only one in the sport to day he throws less punches but lands more

i am also glad to see Mayweather back on 24/7 finally the show wasnt the same without him

manny may be the legitimate p4p king in your world but until he beats floyd mayweather not in my world i dont know why you come here if youre not a boxing fan
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:52 am
hahaha Says:

yes this will surely be a BORING fight. It will be a battle of mouth not by fist.
The style of Marquez is not that agressive. It will be wait-counter-jab-counter jab, and seldom attack. No Thrill.
For Mayweather it will be running-jab-running-jab, and seldom attack too. No thrill.
… the result- unanimous decision, the winner- i am not interested.
bow.

Anonymous Says:

this fight is not worth buying for… hey #1 floydfan

why do you think floyd came back??? to prove he’s still no.1??? may be yes, but the true reason is… he envy PACMAN… that’s the truth, let’s face it and quit your smackin and denial,

PACMAN is the face of boxing… almost all around goes to pacman… has floyd received those kind of awards??? i think not… crybabies… just bet…

BLAH BLAH BLAH floyd the best, best cherry picker… it’s funny but i guess if you no1 floyd fan quit your smackin coz your like him delusional…

DavidThaKing Says:

please Floyd Mayweather is the face of boxing if i ask people who Floyd Mayweather is people they say the boxer if i ask who Manny Pacquiao is they say who?

i mean there is no doubt that Floyd has been the best in sport for th e past 10 years and was the reigning Pound for pound king when he retitred thats a fact

now there is doubt in people mind that Pacquiao is the best because he wasnt considered the best till Floyd retired not to mention he beat the fighters Floyd beat 2 years ago

i mean Pacquiao is good fighter and he looked good in his last couple fights but he is not on the same level as a Floyd Mayweather i guarentee Pacquaio wont be on top of the sport for as long as Mayweather was

and stop with the Mayweather is ducking and hand picking oppenents we all know that is not ture Floyd has called out

Shane Mosley
Miguel Cotto
Winky Wright
Prince Naseem Hammed
Joel Casaymayor
Kostya Tszyu

thats just a few names and none of them wanted to fight when Floyd was in his prime and killing everybody now everybody wants to fight because Floyd is the biggest payday in boxing not Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather is if Pacquiao, Mosley, or Cotto fight Floyd it will be the most money they have ever made in there career thats why they want to fight Floyd now

everyone just trys to make Mayweather look bad because we all know he is the best but nobody wants to admit it Pacquiao is good but overrated and will get destroyed by Mayweather mark my words!

embog Says:

To davidthaking- i hope mayweather pass this battle we all know JMM is warrior too.. He is thirst for the crown of king. I know PBF not in 100% for the fight he experience injuries.. If he want to face MP and prove to the million boxing fans in the world… Finish the fight in explosive and convincing ‘knockout’!! mark my word.. the fight btw pbf and jmm.. Alot of clinching and run.. I hope you have a nice pillow before watching the fight. Hehehe piz!

understand boxing Says:

everyone used to say that Ali was boring fighter and he is The Greatest Of All Time so what does that tell you

Floyd style is the reason why he has never been knocked down or hurt if he were to fight how these dumb asses want him to fight he would have two knockout losses on his record like Pacquiao

understand boxing Says:

now i have to give the mothafucka a history lesson because he obviously dont know shit about boxing

do your history ara mina if you knew boxing you would know that Ali would get critized because he wouldnt knock his oppenent out because Ali didnt beleave in beating up his oppenent more than he had to he would take it easy on them when he had them hurt and ABC didnt want to show his fights because they thought that they were so BORING and didnt want to BORE the people to death so they would only show some rounds of the fight but you probably dont know that because you dont know shit but i hope you learned something new and maybe now you understand boxing

Fem Says:

Easy to tell a PacHater “he looked good in his last couple of fights” they always say that.

Whoever has that stupid idea of Pacquiao,will probably never understand why he is better than Mayweather.

Truth is Pacquiao has always looked good and ever since loosing to Morales he has been shit hot!

He has beaten higher caliber fighters than Mayweather, are you shitting me? “looked good in his lasted couple of fights” only the last couple?

Future hall of famers have fallen to Pacquiao.
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:01 am
DavidThaKing Says:

to Fem

who Pacquiao beat? a old ass Barrera looking for a pay day a old ass Morales them the two higher caliber fighters you talkin about? whould happen if Floyd fought Barrera of Morales? you already know

talking about Pacquiao has been shit hot since losing what about the Marquez fight he got outboxed just like he did against Morales and Marquez should have won the fight and you know that

David Diaz was slow, Oscar De La Hoya was dehydrated i dont have no excuse for Ricky Hatton because he just got his ass whooped

so yeah Pacman has looked good in his last copuple fights while Floyd Mayweather has looked good in all his fights

Pacquiao is getting so overrated i cant wait to hear what the Pacman dick ryders say when Mayweather destorys the Pacman

To all d money may lover…Im one f them… Jst a few wordz to tell,i thnk otherz wer wrng bout saying that morales is old thats he was beaten by d pacman!Morales 2 years older.He was also at hs prime then,..Give credit 2 pacquiao accmplsmnt!With regards to money may,he came back to prove hs greatness,and were hapy as a boxng fan seeing mayweathr fight wth d pacman…Thatz one hell of a fight,i see it vry interesting…Chasing nd bitting gameplanz,this wl b the fight of the century and beyond!If pacquiao catches money may then it wl b d end…Bt if myweathr keeping away from pacmans fury,nd setting up trapz to him.Then it wl be the other way around,i thnk can knockdown pacman,but pacman can knockout pbf…Im excited for the fight to happen!Who ever wins!I’ll b a sure fan of the two great warriors of the planet!Kudos to them brilliant boxer of all time!!!

Dreamliner Says:

There is no way Mayweather loses to JMM, with his fight being pushed back, he will also be waiting for the Pacman, but Bob Arum will find a way (if he gets by Cotto) to weasel his way out of it.

The only reason I say “if” is because it depends on the weight agreement and Cotto has a supsect chin sometimes, but hes no pushover.

For those that say PBF is boring, your not a fan of boxing, your just a spectator and the main reason why Dana White pays his fighters about $100,000.00 to fight instead of millions like boxers.

Anyway…dont take my comments to the neck P-noy peeps!!!

Bullseye Says:

well #1 floydfan, u’v got ur point but ur point never got a point.
iam an African but as far as i can see, and i’ll agree with ara mina, that this fight is BORING.
The style of Floyd is not that good , though it is not bad, i mean, its not that kamikazi style, always running.
Running is different than moving.
Running is a coward tactic, and that is Floyd.

ehehehe funny floyd has one fan here ^_^ wow i salute you sir.. but floyd ain’t mean nothing when he was the no.1 pound4pound i’m a boxing fan since ODLH but floyd is not that popular and not that attraction and not that great as u think…

the truth is he lost to ODLH, man no knock down and ODLH was the one hitting floyd… and ODLH offered an rematch but floyd retired wtf is that???

you know what the reason is he was afraid to lose and he knows for the second time he will lose… again as i say…
July 6th, 2009 at 4:27 am
DavidThaKing Says:

you said Oscar De La Hoya beat Floyd Mayweather and Floyd was scared to rematch that right there just shows you know nothing about boxing

Floyd retierd because he wanted a break from the sport all his life he had been boxing and he wanted some time to enjoy life its crazy because if Pacquiao retires he the greatest fighter he has nothing to prove but if Floyd retires they say he scared to fight

my only question is what did Mayweather do to make everyone hate him so much?? all he did was win all fights become the best fighter in world and make the most money isnt that what your suppose to do yeah he talks trash but he got the skills to back it up

i guess being young black and rich is worst combination in white america

Dreamliner Says:

PBF has been ranked in the top 3 category of pound for pound fighter for the last 10 years (correct me if im wrong). Thats not a designation from the average spectator that just loves Manny. And NO he is not a boring fighter, hes great at defense and knows how to make other great fighters look bad. Thats why when he beats them they say it was a boring fight.

Who in hell thought ODH beat PBF, PLZ speak up!!! you must be used to watching UFC. Boxing is a skill like chess….its a thinking mans game, not a slugfest.

So if he fought Manny or JMM or Cotto, the same would happen, he would methodically break that azz down!

ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTERS OUR GENERATION HAS SEEN AND EVERY TIME YOU BUY THE PPV ALL YOU CAN DO IS HOPE HE GETS KNOCKED OUT, AND YOUR ANGRY BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENS….WHY….your the average fan!

DavidThaKing Says:

i watched the fight got it recorded and Floyd gave Oscar a boxing lesson Oscar was throwing all them punches and not hittin shit if you look at the punch stats you will see Floyd threw less punches and landed more

as far as you not watching the fight i dont really care you already know whats going to happen but i bet you watch 24/7 because Floyd is the only entertainment boxing has Pacquiao can barely talk

Floyd the best you know it stop hatin he is going to continue to dominate boxing and continue beating your favorite fighters
