HBO is shining the spotlight on Floyd Mayweather of Grand Rapids again in preparation for his upcoming fight.
The cable network has announced plans for another four-episode installment of its highly acclaimed "24/7" reality series, following Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico as both fighters get ready to slug it out in an HBO Pay-Per-View welterweight showdown July 18 at MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
The premiere of "Mayweather/Marquez 24/7" is slated for Saturday, June 27, at 9:30 p.m.
The series continues with the second and third episodes on subsequent Saturdays -- July 4 at 9:45 p.m. and July 11 at 10 p.m. The finale is set for Friday, July 17, at 9:30 p.m. on the eve of the fight. All four episodes will have multiple replay dates and times on HBO, and will be available on HBO On Demand.
It is Mayweather's third "24/7" appearance.
He helped launch the Emmy Award-winning HBO series, which provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the participants, leading up to his victory over Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. He had another starring role in it prior to defeating Ricky Hatton later in the same year.
Earlier this month, the undefeated Mayweather (39-0, 25 knockouts) emerged from a 16-month retirement to reclaim his title as the No. 1 pound-for-pound champion.
