It'd probably be boring to be honest. Wlad isn't exactly entertaining...
Actually...he kind of is. The man was absolutely hilarious on Conan the times I've seen him. He's a nice guy and it'd make for an interesting series. Haye is the right opponent for that
the whole point of a 24/7 series is to get people more interested in the fight.
Obviously, but there has to be a name already there to spark people's interest to tune in the first place. DLH played this role against Mayweather and as a result he become known to the mainstream as well. Mayweather then in turn fought Hatton and the same thing occurred. DLH-Pac is another example.
Clear up my confusion, as a Brit im not too sure how it works in the States;
Showtime and HBO are rivals (like say Sky and Setanta) and they both do PPV?
24/7 is licenced to HBO ?
Boxing is on both channels, however for the big events, in this case, boxing, they will put on a PPV fight
Froch / Taylor is showtime PPV
Hatton / Manny is HBO PPV
Is that right?! Just trying to figure it out !
Blimey TV is confusing these days, bring back channel 1 2 and 3 !
That's pretty much it except that a lot of fights are "free" when you subscribe to the channel (it's like 15 bucks a month or something). Only the big ones like Pacquiao-Hatton are HBO PPV. There haven't really been showtime PPV's anymore.
Froch Taylor is on free showtime.
As for the topic, I think there should definietly be a countdown. There should be a 24/7 type series in the UK at least though.
They won't. Honestly, mainstream America doesn't really care enough about either fighter for a 24/7 to be worthwhile. Pac and Hatton were leveraged into the mainstream eye through Mayweather and DLH so people are already familiar with these guys. I can't see it doing better numbers than Calzaghe-Jones and that tanked.

If they can do it for calzaghe-jones then i dont see why they wont do it for haye-klitschko when it is a bigger, more promising fight with two titles on the line.
three titles up for grabs, innit? WBO, IBF and IBO up on the line.
