Top Signs That HBO Has Run Out Of Watchable Material for Marquez-Mayweather 245/7 Programs:
Before I reveal this, let me say that I now understand the “Numero Uno” promotional tag for this not such a megafight.
Clearly, “Numero Uno” refers to Mexican Ringmaster Marquez and his curious penchant for drinking his own urine.
As a kid, I used to go get hot tea for Muhammad Ali after workouts in Boston but I don’t remember Angelo Dundee advising anyone to get The Champ some refreshment from the men’s room or Bundini Brown chanting, “Float like a butterfly, pee like a racehorse.”
Be assured and tell the kiddies, Manny Pacquiao takes his Vitwater straight with no urine chaser.
Anyway, here are the signs that the gruel is getting thinner and thinner on 24/7…
1. After briefly profiling good guy and expert handwrapper Rafael Garcia, the series showcased Mayweather and the Korean lady who gives him manicures and pedicures. Coming next Saturday, Floyd visits his jovial proctocologist.
2. We saw Marquez in a hyerpbaric chamber. No one mentioned if brought his drink from Urinetown into the chamber with him.
3. We saw about our fourth or fifth Marquez family party and—get this—saw Juan Ma helping his 11 year old son with math homework. Is this Must See TV?
4. That geographical genius, Roger Mayweather, informed us that “all the great fighters come from the Midwest” because his nephew, Tommy Hearns, Ray Robinson and Joe Louis all once lived in Michigan. How did he skip over Buster Mathis Junior and Senior?
5. I almost fell off the couch to learn that Juan Ma and his boxing brother Raffa are married to sisters. Not soul sisters or twisted sisters, mind you, but two women who are siblings. The final episode will reveal boxers from Arkansas who married their own sisters. Incest, a game the whole family can play.
6. HBO cameras were barred from filming Floyd sparring but allowed to some a bloody sparring partner. Was it real blood or that ketchup like fake blood given to PBF by the WWE? And how come Mayweather doesn’t drink his sparmate’s blood like a vicious vampire would?
7. It was revealed that Juan Ma once studied accounting but still can’t fathom why many boxing promoters keep three sets of books.
8. Marquez declared himself “a regular person” away from the ring which can only mean that Mayweather is slightly irregular. Makes sense as Mayweather calls his casa “the Big Boys Mansion” while Juan Ma’s must the “Midgets Mansion.”
9. Marquez has some slew footed guys “imitating Mayweather’s style.” Yeah sure, and I’m imitating Denzel Washington’s screen presence.
10. Floyd Mayweather Sr. is still barking out that old “Best in the West” poem he was using six fights and 44 episodes of 24/7 ago.
Call me crazy but I’m envisioning Episodes 3 and 4 as going heavy, heavy, heavy on Manny Pacquiao.
They’ve mined the minutiae on Marquez and Mayweather.
Time to talk about the “Big Boy Champion.”
Either that or dissolve to a test pattern.
