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.
It was real, just like he drank the Quail eggs with no problem.
And for the blood, whats so special about that? You act like Floyd just spars 1 time, with 1 person, and 1 round, and never spars again. No he spars many times with many different people, and more then 1 day, if one happens to bleed, guess what? That makes the show, unlike all his other sparring sessions.

Look, I get that. It's just that the secrecy and subsequent (and apparent) brutality of it seemed kinda staged - not to mention convenient for HBO. There was a lack of spontaneity during both fighters' most prominent segments.
And I say all that as someone who never, ever listens to or gets a kick out of conspiracy theories.
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.
Who knows? I would not be surprised AT ALL if it was fake.
But hey, I have no problem at all with Marquez and his piss drinking antics. If it psyches him up and somehow makes him fight better, more power to him. 50% of boxing is mental strength.
Ray Robinson used to drink raw beef blood before weigh-in's to gain a mental edge over his opposition. It's not entirely impossible that Marquez wants to make Floyd think he's crazy, which he probably does.
