Why was Mayweather so respectful to Marquez during the buildup to their fight?

He called him a wife beater.

[JDezi4]

He didn't not say anything either, he called him the "Pee Pee Man" remember... But there r different levels, and I'm sure the lack of hostility from Marquez helped keep him out of Floyd's verbal reign of fire

He called him a wife beater.

yeah but he did beat his wife.

[UglyPug]

I think because 1.) Floyd has a lot of mexican boxing fans and marquez is GOD in Mexico and amongst mexican fans (he should be amongst all fans really) and 2.) he was coming back, and he was confused on whether or not he wanted to try to reinvent his image. . .

but afterward, he found out he's much more profitable if he keeps playing "the bad guy" lol. . .

[Stigma]

He did the late night talk show circuit making sure everyone knew Marquez drank his own piss. Sweet guy.

[MOULINYAN KILLA]

Because Marquez had no chance on winning so in order to fool the public he would respect JMM and talk about what a great fighter he is.

to be fair Marquez is real hard to hate

he's just so bland with zero expressions

how can you hate a guy who is just there?

It's not "hate", it's called build up for the fight. It's really to just draw attention, Marquez did a good job at it during 24/7 drinking his urine.

A lot of people in my school that don't follow boxing knew who Marquez was, YOO ITS THAT GUY THAT DRINKS HIS PISS.

Well played on his part.

To get ratings and buys.

Marquez is a highly regarded and respected man.

So as a result. By him respecting Marquez. It got much more people to buy the ppv. Even those who did not know who Marquez was. Specially respecting a mexican and mexican culture/people for a fight on mexican independence day.
