24/7 was made to help promote the upcoming fight, and so they have story lines within those 4 episodes. training, family, camp conflicts, etc.

Just making sure, cause you know your argument (as quoted) is that x boxer and y boxer isn't popular therefore they dont get a 24/7.
but yeah got your back!

With that said, I just dont see HBO investing a lot of time or money into Pac-Clottey.

Originally posted by M.I.C. View PostIt's not just popularity, the world just simply doesn't care about Pac vs Clottey. Now dont get me wrong, its a good fight, but as far as having an interest beyond the ring action itself....the world doesn't care. The storyline the world cares about are the one's involving Mayweather, this is also the storyline that HBO cares about as well.
With that said, I just dont see HBO investing a lot of time or money into Pac-Clottey.
And there will be interesting storylines. Cowboys stadium, pacs infamous failed negotiations, Clottey's canceled bout, heck even his life.

Originally posted by hahaa View PostThats the point of HBO producing the show, it's their intention to grab the people that don't know/care about the fight to buy their ppv. They are giving viewership a "preview" if you wanna call it that.

Originally posted by M.I.C. View PostThats the politically correct way of viewing it. The original 24/7 showcased Floyd and Oscar and their certainly where not many out there who didn't already know them. HBO does things for ratings just like any other network. If they dont see Pac-Clottey as generating what they are spending to make a 24-7 series they wont do it. This fight, if you ask me, is a Arum, Jerry Jones project, this is their baby, not HBO's.
it's true that it's their project, but it's probably in their best interest to run the ppv with a company that has the track record. but who knows maybe jones has connections and he and arum will do something completely new.
