Mayweather Marquez 24/7 - episode 1 (VIDEO)

What was that about on 1:30 on part3? The article about Sr. doesnt like Rogers training or something? Link?

I'm pretty sure they are talking about this.



Floyd Sr. still doesn't like that his brother, Roger, trains his son, and disagrees with some of the preparation for the Sept. 19 Juan Manuel Marquez fight.

"I don't care who you are, you're going to lose something when you step away from that ring," he said. "Little Floyd's looking pretty good but he doesn't have Marquez in front of him right now. The one great advantage he has is his speed. But he wasn't using that the other day. I'm not trying to say one thing and then another. That stuff Roger's doing, he's going to make the fight real, real hard for my son. You can't stand right in front of a guy in the corner. Especially the Hispanic fighters. That's what they want you to do.

"The thing is, you train the way you fight. That's my only problem with the whole situation. I'm not trying to have no more disturbance with my son but I know what's right and what's wrong."

He mentions training twists he dislikes but tries not to fret if ignored.

"I'm more concerned with having the relationship with my son than telling my son what's going wrong," he said.

Thanks for this. Green given to the TS.

This was a great watch. Very well produced. If the intentions of this program is to get people hyped for this fight, it did very well for me. I'm looking forward to see Floyd back.

TBH I feel a little sad for JMM who's a great fighter and a true warrior, but he shouldn't be in the ring at this weight. He might say that he'll be strong and fast, but it's a WW contest and JMM has never been in with a fighter this good and heavy at the same time. It saddens me that such a proud fighter and excellent ambassador for the mexican fight tradition is reduced to a tune-up.

When the fights over I hope people remember that Marquez had to jump 2 weightclasses to get this fight so that a defeat will not count so hard on him when his legacy is to be determined.

The show was great, as always. HBO can't be beat.

Props to Juan Manuel for calling out Floyd and stepping up to take the risk.

So far so good.
