Marquez & Mayweather: Are they playing mind games with eachother?

Marquez has been praising Mayweather for years now, so its not some trick that they are trying to pull off.

When the fight was announced, in their first press conference, Mayweather grabbed Marquez and spinned him towards him. In the background, you hear someone saying "Look into the camera!", Floyd proceeds to stare eye to eye with Marquez. Mayweather turns away saying "I'ma slay him, I'ma kill him". Just recently I posted a video where Mayweather said, "I'm coming to seek and destroy".

I bring this up because during yesterday's press conference, there was alot of ass kissing. No offense to Nacho or Marquez but that was beyond being too respectful, that's certified "ASS KISSING". Now, I wouldn't call that a bad idea, SMART MOVE! and from the looks of it, Mayweather took the bait. As you can see in this video...

It isn't over yet. Why would Marquez reveal one of his sparring sessions, where he looked godawful? They're clearly playing mind games with eachother.

nah man, I think jmm and nacho are in actual awe of floyd.

In this video, Marquez says, "Everyone was expecting Floyd to trash talk and it worries me that he hasn't, so I'm starting to believe Mayweather has something under his sleeves, he wants me to think that he is calm, we're not buying that and we're expecting the best Floyd Mayweather". Here it is, it was in spanish so I translated.

I think Nacho was being sarcastic with some comments he said about Mayweather.

Well, this was a situation in which Floyd couldn't afford to trash Marquez. Marquez is pretty unknown in the mainstream so trash talking a fighter that is unknown really isn't going to convince a casual fan to buy the fight.

for example, you choose an opponent who people don't really know. Are you really going to tell this people, "This guy aint *****, Ima beat his ass easy, He aint done nothing to show he can beat me"

Or are you going to these people, "He's a great fighter. Its going to be a tough fight. He's the #2 guy in the world and thats why I chose him. I want to fight the best"

Which do you think would convince people that this is an intriguiging fight?

Know what I mean?

That is true but Mayweather trashed Gatti, Hatton, DLH and did great numbers. So it's a little confusing to say.
