These Coundown shows really hype you up

It looked like Cotto came close to injuring himself when he took down the fat guy lol LoL, I was thinking the same thing. That's all that needs to happen, his butter ball buddy squashes him and he needs 2 months off to recover from a leg injury or something. Even just playing around, something bad could happen if that guy falls on Cotto. :tragedy: :skull:

To be honest, I was alil let down. Some people went as far to say it was the best one yet. I highly disagree. I think both fighters are actually missing the personality and charisma that would make the non boxing fans want to watch. Both of them really didn't say much to get you excited or interested. Then it seems like most of the clips they showed of both fighters in the ring involved them getting their ass kicked. I dunno, felt on and off. Definitely they've done better, but w/e, this is a must see fight either way!

They really did an excellent job with this one. They focused more on the boxing side rather than talking shit and showing you how much money they got. I like the bit where they had Cotto playing jokes on his friends, showed his personality away from the sport.

This is also my first countdown but I liked it, it certainly has hyped me up more for the fight.

haci Es Papa, Con Todo Tony!!! Arriba Campeon!!!! Que Viva Mexico Chingados!!!!! :boxing: Arriba Mexico Cabrones Hijos De La Chingada!!!

Tony stole the show on this Countdown, that Cotto is one lethargic, boring ass nikka. WAR TONY!!!! I'm sure you had the ky jelly out and playing with a huge dildo with Tony's name on it. Maricon.

Part of the strategy is to let the audience get to know the fighter so you feel a personal connection with them and this increases your desire to want to watch the fight even if it's not likely to be close. For example even a casual boxing fan may have developed a soft spot in his/her heart for Margarito and will now be pulling for him. ^^^Exactly. That's the primary purpose. Generate interest to the casual fan, develop a connection. Then=profit! To the informed boxing fans, it's icing on the cake. :D

Too many people like you talking shit. Theres even a ton of people who say that if Cotto win and they do a 24/7 that it will be very borring cause its Miguel Cotto. Look it up, people talking shit just like you that don't know what the fuck they talking about. Did you read my first post on this thread? Or was your dumbass so consumed by hatred for me, by my so called HATING on your folks in a different thread? Who is eating fucking crow here, dude? Not me. I'm a fucking carnivore. Ate a fat steak at Ruth Chris's today. Don't believe me? Check my colon in the mourning. Look THAT up. Naw, you want to take credit for something your ass has NOTHING TO DO WITH. So pat yourself on the back. You won. HBO, with all it's editing and producers, couldn't have made it any better. What, you had a 3 to 1 bet that Cotto vs. Margarito 24/7 would be boring? Did you win?:rofl: You see, I watch FIGHTS. I don't care about the fucking 24/7, the press conferences, the weigh in's, or anything of the sort. But it seems that YOU do. And you won tonight, Ferocity. Congrats....

I missed it! Was watching the Dark Knight. Awesome movie BTW :D

HBO always does a good job with these countdown shows. I was gonna get this fight anyways, but this makes me not want to wait and wish they were fighting now. It was nice to find out some things about Margarito.

I bet every boxing fan got pumped with the COUNTDOWN. My wife threw a baby shower at home Today. Everyone was like; "So... are we watching the fight in here next week???" And I mean everyone, men, women and even children. I probably will have over 40 people at my gazeebo that night. Better be a hell of a fight. We will drink and play dominoes until the night sky turns on that special blue color. It will be fucking great!!! Aw, man. That sounds really awesome. Over here, it'll only be my father, my mother and my brother. I miss the old days when everyone would get together.

Look it up, people talking shit just like you that don't know what the fuck they talking about. It is what is, people think that you have to have 5 ferraris, flash huge wads of cash and talk shit about your opponents to make you interesting. HBO just showed that a humble, serious fighter that focuses more on boxing than being flashy can be as entertaining if not more.

What, you want a pat on the back or something? It's HBO, for gods sake. They could make a carrot fighting an orange exciting. But regardless... I can't wait for the 26th....
