Facts
Mayweather Jr. weighed in two pounds over the contracted weight and was forced to pay Marquez $600,000 ($300,000 per pound)
On the series "24/7", Marquez was shown to be allegedly drinking his own urine. He said it was something he had done for the last five or six fights because he felt it was a way to recycle important vitamins and proteins.
