All I know is Marquez's piss drinking drew alot of attention. I was like, Marquez doesn't say much, or do much, as soon as he did that, he stole the episode. Episode 2 was all Marquez.

Naw, reasonable but not actual. The deal is that JMM is a beast and is taking it back to his ancestors' times when they drank the blood of ******* and their own piss to gain the strength of immortals.

Marquez really drank apple juice, and Mayweather's camp smeared some blood on that sparring guy. Both as guilty as each other, and all encouraged by HBO.

Reasonable?

Or both parts were real.

Yeah, it all looked too 'normal' for me. I know he said he'd done it for many fights, but I'm not buying that ****. The only time people do it is when they're stuck in the jungle or desert with nothing to drink (IIRC even encouraged by survival experts).

Besides, who wouldn't want to chug down some apple juice after a workout? It's good stuff.

The blood was spurting from that guys nose, didn't look fake. Can't say about the piss drinking but why would Marquez lie about that?

It's not about giving a ****, but drawing parallel comparisons. Both have a reason to fake something outrageous, as would HBO for increased interest in the series and the fight itself.

In the end, I think it's a collusion between both fighters' camps - and HBO - to make things as 'fascinating' as possible to hype the fight. There's not even any animosity between the fighters, so something crazy had to be created.
