HBO Sports’ groundbreaking “24/7” reality franchise, which has captured seven Sports Emmy® Awards, will return to present its seventh installment with 24/7 PACQUIAO/COTTO, an all-new four-episode, all-access series. Ross Greenburg, president, HBO Sports announced that 24/7 will debut on Saturday, October 24 (10:15-10:45 p.m. ET/PT). The sports series will follow Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto, two of the sport’s brightest stars, as they prepare for their November 14 pay-per-view showdown in Las Vegas.
Manny Pacquiao seeks to continue his reign as the sport’s pound-for-pound king, while Miguel Cotto looks to prove that his ring skills are ideal for derailing the Pacquiao express.
Ross Greenburg noted, “The ‘24/7’ franchise provides an engaging and accurate look into the lives of boxers as they toil and sacrifice to get ready for a huge showdown in the ring. Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto are dynamic individuals in and out of the ring, and our cameras will be there to capture all the drama prior to their fall face-off.”

Episodes two and three of 24/7 PACQUIAO/COTTO debut on subsequent Saturdays – October 31 (11:00-11:30 p.m.) and November 7 (9:00-9:30 p.m.). The series finale debuts Friday November 13 (9:30-10:00 p.m.), just one night before the fight. All four episodes will have multiple replay dates on HBO, and the series will also be available on HBO On Demand.
24/7 PACQUIAO/COTTO will provide exclusive behind-the-scenes access, along with in-depth interviews, as these exciting, versatile fighters prepare for the next mega-fight of 2009. They bring an international flair to the show, with Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) hailing from the Philippines and Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) a proud son of Puerto Rico, which has a long history of producing legendary competitors for the sweet science.
24/7 is a fast-paced series that will capture the interactions and rigors the two fighters experience in preparing for their contest. Making his third “24/7” appearance, Manny Pacquiao is expected to surround himself with a familiar contingent of family and friends as he trains with trusted longtime associate Freddy Roach. HBO reality series newcomer Miguel Cotto, who never ducks a challenge, is taking on his biggest fight yet with trainer Joe Santiago as they seek to set a strategy to unseat the widely regarded pound-for-pound champ.
