Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 Drinking Game

The official Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 drinking game

Buzz up!


As Ricky Hatton’s fans can tell you, boxing and beverage are a perfect combination. With the aid of a couple of six-packs, that “Hatton Wonderland” song sounds like “Eleanor Rigby,” ugly clinching looks like clever infighting, and the pain of a quick knockout loss is so dulled that you joyously sing “Hatton Wonderland” after the fight anyway. Thank God for alcohol.

I happen not to be a big drinker; it’s hard enough for me to stay awake for fights that start after 11:30 p.m. on the east coast when I don’t have any depressants in my system. But I can appreciate that a great many fight fans enjoy knocking back a cold one as they watch fighters get knocked cold on their back. And what better way to drink than with the help of a drinking game?

Last night, the latest edition of HBO’s 24/7, focusing on the upcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Juan Manuel Marquez fight, premiered. There are still three episodes left before fight night, so that means plenty of opportunities to get your drink on. So, please designate a driver, keep the beer-before-liquor rule straight and enjoy THE RING’s official Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 Drinking Game:

• Drink a shot of tequila every time a Marquez family member speaks Spanish and subtitles appear on the screen.

• Drink three shots of tequila every time a Mayweather family member speaks English and subtitles appear on the screen.

• Drink heavily whenever Mayweather is shown risking a second fight-postponing injury by roller skating, either in public or in his home. (Of course, HBO Pay-Per-View executives, Golden Boy Promotions executives and everyone else financially invested in the fight don’t need this drinking game to tell them to hit the bottle for that.)

• Pour one out for Nat Fleischer anytime a member of Team Marquez is shown wearing a T-shirt with THE RING logo.

• Make a cheesy, clichéd toast and then take a sip anytime Marquez says something that sounds like a quote straight out of a motivational poster with a picture of an eagle soaring or a wild elephant reaching for a high branch. (Examples: “Without risk, there is no gain,” “Each person writes his own story.”)

• Fill your mouth with beer, then spit out the beer in disbelief each time the 24/7 narrator twists the truth to fit the show’s purposes. (Example: Mayweather’s 2007 win over Oscar De La Hoya is referred to as “decisive” to push the agenda that Mayweather retired with nothing to prove.)

• Drink a glass of milk every time Tommy Gallagher shows a nipple. (Oops, wrong boxing-reality-show drinking game. Sorry ‘bout that.)

• Drink once if Mayweather refers to himself in the first-person, three times if he refers to himself in the third-person and finish every drink in the house if he starts referring to himself in the second-person.

• Drink an Amaretto Sour but refer to it as an “Armadillo Sour” every time Roger Mayweather intends to say that his nephew misses the limelight but refers to it as the “lamplight.”

• Drink out of a whiskey bottle inside of a paper bag if you’re buying the notion of Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a humanitarian who gives back to the community regardless of whether the 24/7 cameras are around.

• Drink the cheapest liquor you can find if you resent Mayweather for showing off his house and bragging about how everything in it is “paid for” even though there are reports that he owes the IRS $6-million and 10 percent of the people watching the show are unemployed.

• Drink a dirty martini every time Nacho Beristain drops a Spanish F-bomb.

• Drink frothy milk that ends up on your upper lip if, in future episodes, the 24/7 crew catches Beristain brushing Just For Men into his jarringly dark moustache.

• Order a Screaming Viking from Woody Boyd every time Mayweather insists his return isn’t about money at all.

• Drink a “Prison Bitch” (yes, that’s a real drink) every time a newspaper headline is shown suggesting a Mayweather is in trouble with the law.

• Drink a kiddie juice box every time Marquez’s daughter takes a cheap shot at her brother and clocks him in the back of the neck after they blow out the candles on Daddy’s cake. Drink again if you wonder why Marquez still hasn’t earned enough money to afford a cake knife.

• Drink a White Russian if, on next week’s episode, Marquez is training in the mountains, runs to the top of the highest peak he can find and yells, “Dragooooo!” Drink another one if, at some point in the same episode, Roger Mayweather gets a sassy robot to deliver him drinks.

• Drink the world’s most pointless drink, O’Doul’s, whenever the narrator ruins Mayweather’s pointless plan to keep the 144-pound weight limit for this fight a secret.

• Chug whatever’s left in your mug when an episode ends with a fighter landing a punch on a hand pad or speed bag and then staring confidently into the camera.

• Take a sip every time Mayweather’s rebuilt relationship with his dad makes you want to pick up the phone and call your dad – and thank him for not being Floyd Mayweather Sr.

Have fun and drink up Saddo Boxing peeps!

drink 4 bottles of tecate when you see jmm wear a pink armani t-shirt.
chug a whole bottle of cognac if you see jmm watching a mexican drama series on tv.
drink one more bottle of cognac if you catch jmm teary eyed after watching it.
drink a bottle of tecate if you're a jmm fanboy and see jmm grab the crotch of his chinese friend "accidently" then hit yourself with the bottle unto your head after emptying it.
empty a whole bottle of sanmiguel beer if the name "pacquiao' appers everytime it is mentioned by anybody in the program. even by a narrator, or a fanboy who just happens to ask for an autograph to both fighters, then add 2 more if it came directly from either jmm or pbf's mouth!
drink 6 bottles of tecate if nacho ever mentions regrets and reminisce the story how he made the wrong move of having jmm face chris john instead of pac in a rematch, but lose instead.
drink 2 more though if he both labels chris john and pbf as having the same style!

Takamura is a person that pays attention to details and has a sharp sense of humor, a true boxing fan is alert and sharp while the original drinking game puts you in the mood to say,"I'll drink to that. Nice posts.

I might juzz have to add

• If you see JMM drink a glass of his own pee you must drink a glass of your own pee also.

[HattonTheHammer]

For some this may seem like a good idea to get pissed. But for the likes of me and boozeboxer this is just drink segregation

Im not down for taking a swig every time said fighter says a special word. But i can promise each and every one of you by the time each 30 minute episode ends i would of easily exceeded the required measurements to drive a car

[JonnyFolds]

Gotta agree with Taeth. Mayweather was landing all the punches even though Oscar looked busy in the first fight (check Compubox numbers).

To the OP: hilarious. I roflmao several times

no one's disputing that Mayweather won, but no way was it 9 rnds to 3 or eve 8 rnds to 4, DLH made him work, Mayweather won by 115-113 on my card, and i don't think that's an insult, cause Mayweather fought DLH when he still had something left, and at a weight where he was still pretty effective

No way, Oscar won maybe rounds 2,4,7. You could weakly argue 6 (Oscar lands 2 nice lefts to the body early and 1 nice right late, but Mayweather peppering him with punches all round and they exchange at the bell, looking amazing defensively and dictating the pace even though he is going backwards).

But Mayweather clearly won 1,3,5,8 and on. That is 9-3 or 8-4, watch the fight again without neanderthal that coming forward and walking through punches wins you rounds.

Mayweather almost landed twice as many punches in the fight, he almost doubled the jabs landed by Oscar. Watch the fight without the volume on(HBO is super biased towards OScar), and without alchohol and you will see that Mayweather handily beat Oscar.

Ok Taeth, how about this...

I have Jose Luis Castillo LANDING and THROWING 2x as many punches as Mayweather in their first fight. Mayweather wins lopsided decision.

So, with DLH, do the punch numbers matter if you are throwing pepper while your opponent is throwing steel? One out of 20 of Mayweather's shots were actually thrown with any intent.

exactly but well Taeth is constantly blinded by his love for his favorite fighters, it's that damn menapause i tell you!!!

Where was this 'steel' De La Hoya was throwing? I thought that by rounds Mayweather controlled almost all of them & I had it 117-111 when watched with the commentary off.

The Castillo fight on the other hand whilst I had a narrow 114-113 victory for Mayweather, I can easily see it going the other way & Castillo may have had the more decisive rounds. The scorecards in that fight were a complete fuckin joke.

I don't score by punch numbers, maybe Taeth does, I do it by who takes each round, not the flow of the fight. That's why I had Clottey beating Cotto because of rounds, although if you look it as a fight Cotto looked like the guy who won. ElTerrible is right though, Taeth simply can't be objective about any fighter he's a fan of.

DLH landed the harder shots and it was evident on PBF's face, he had more than decent swelling while Oscar came out clean

Oscar also outweighed him by at least 15lbs, hence his punches being harder. To me neither looked like they'd been in a fight, but are you really saying you'd score a fight based on slight swelling above one eye?

Found the vid - Would you really say that is real swelling? It probably came from that final flurry at the end, so do you decide a fight on that?

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Anyone who doesn't think that Mayweather's win over Oscar wasn't a lopsided 8-4 or 9-3 round fight is sucking way too much ODLH cock. Besides that I liked it.

Amen!

no i'm not saying that, i judge a fight ROUND BY ROUND, and my final score was 115-113 Mayweather at most it could be 116-112 Mayweather, and i scored the fight completely unbiased
