Because It's Got Electrolytes

Rocky Balboa punched frozen meat. Juan Manuel Marquez drinks his own urine. In preparation for his superfight against Floyd Mayweather this Saturday night, Marquez's training routine has included gulping down his pee. Not since Aaron Pryor drank from Panama Lewis's black bottle has a fighter's liquid intake sparked such curiosity.

I like mine with Absolut. Sort of this re-cycling think I have going on.

Kind of brings a whole 'nother perspective to the tagline of the fight... "Number One" vs "Numero Uno" Yikes!!!

Marquez is known for strange training rituals but damn that's strange. Hopefuully it will help him. Maybe if he breaths in Mayweather's face during a clinch...

I just remembered this: I have some friends who bath in elk urine before they go hunting. It's supposed to make it harder for the animals to detect them. I don't remember if they are any more successful bagging the local fauna than without it, though. More examples of stupid human tricks.

Mayweather weighed in at 2 pounds over the agreed upon 144 pound weight, which gives $300,000 per pound to Marquez and assures, in my book at least, a Mayweather victory.
