Mayweather / Marquez 24/7 series to debut Saturday August 29 on HBO
The following is from HBO:
With the intriguing showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez rescheduled for Sept. 19 in Las Vegas, HBO Sports’ groundbreaking “24/7” reality franchise, which has captured seven Sports Emmy® Awards, will premiere MAYWEATHER/MARQUEZ 24/7 on Saturday, August 29 (10:15-10:45 p.m. ET/PT).
The all-new, four-episode, all-access series spotlights a host of intriguing storylines, with Floyd Mayweather, the sport’s most irrepressible superstar, returning after a year-and-a-half absence to face Juan Manuel Marquez, one of boxing’s most accomplished performers, as they prepare for their September pay-per-view showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Ross Greenburg said: “Now that the fight has been rescheduled, we are excited to resume production. This latest edition of ‘24/7’ features all the ingredients that we look for in greenlighting the ‘24/7’ franchise: big-time boxing stars, engaging storylines and in Floyd’s case, a larger-than-life personality that is tailor-made for reality television.”
Episodes two and three of MAYWEATHER/MARQUEZ 24/7 debut on subsequent Saturdays – September 5 (10:00-10:30 p.m.) and 12 (10:00-10:30 p.m.) – while the finale debuts Friday, September 18 (9:30-10:00 p.m.), just one night before the fight. All four episodes will have multiple replay dates on HBO, and the series will also be available on HBO On Demand.
MAYWEATHER/MARQUEZ 24/7 will provide exclusive behind-the-scenes access, along with in-depth interviews, as these determined warriors prepare for their mega-fight. This is Mayweather’s third “24/7” appearance, while Marquez is making his HBO reality series debut. Regarded as the best boxer of his era, the undefeated Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) is back after a brief self-imposed retirement. A training camp injury forced the fight date to be reset to Sept. 19.
Marquez is a dynamic fighter (50-4-1, 37 KOs) from Mexico City who shares at least one thing with his flashy opponent: They’re both willing to fight anybody in the sport, regardless of division. Marquez is moving up from the lightweight ranks to challenge boxing’s most provocative star.
Storylines for this fast-paced series will include the interaction between Mayweather and his uncle/trainer, Roger Mayweather, and Marquez’s rock-solid relationship with his longtime trainer Ignacio Beristain.

Cant wait till this fight happens!! i also cant wait until 24/7 come on. I wish Ross Greenburg would get it through his head that boxing DVDs can sell and HBO should sell all the fights that appeared with 24/7, and include 24/7 on the DVD, that would be a hot buy for new boxing fans and a collectors item for hardcore boxing fans
Cant wait too see this fight!! I also cant wait to see Mayweather/Marquez 24/7. I wish Ross Greenburg would get it in his head that boxing DVDs can sell. HBO should release all the fights which had a 24/7 series on DVD and include 24/7 on the DVD with the fight. That would be a hot buy for the new boxing fans and a collectors item for the hard core boxing fans.
Its funny to see mayweather haters commenting on floyd. If you hate him leave him so much leave him alone. I don't know who Floyd ran from becasue he has call out every good fighter in this generation. I also feel that if you think Floyd is boring then you don't know boxing history at all. Besides the De La Hoya what other fights has floyd put people to sleep? Lots of so-called boxing fans are ignorant, they just want to see blood and sweat. It's sad b/c Boxing is an art form and people are missing out.
