Mayweather(in his 3rd apperance) and Marquez? I dont think Id even make it a note to watch a countdown episode, let alone an entire series. And I love 24/7. I dont know who at HBO OK'ed that one, something tells me Floyd made it a stip in his contract. They should be following Klitschko and David Haye, it would be a major benefit to boxing, heavyweight boxing, and 10x as entertaining
Of course Mayweather would get a 24/7 since he is coming back. He has helped the series become popular. Also at this point Mayweather and Pac are the biggest Draws in the US. Why wouldnt you use that fact to to get viewers to watch 24/7 and hype a fight at the same time for either of them? I have enjoyed all the 24/7 episodes so far and I'm sure this will be no different.
Of course floyd gets a 24/7. The only other one i could see being compared would be Cotto-Clottey. That would be interesting.
Where did you guys hear this at anyway? When and where was it confirmed??
he is the biggest name in boxing and alot of people find floyd enteraining
I enjoy a laugh at him and his insane family too ocassionally, but for another 4 episodes, by himself without Hatton or even a De La Hoya to play off of? Gonna be some boring, self indulging shit.
For Marquez, it would be good exposure. As for Mayweather, this would be his 3rd appearance on 24/7 so HBO's got to come up with a new approach and storyline for Floyd's side.
This 24/7 will be different just based on the fact of Mayweather coming back, that's what they will center it around, HBO voice: "Does he still have it?" "Watch Mayweather try to get back into top form" etc....
Whats your beef with Floyd, he is the reason 24/7 is even alive. You seen very bias lately, I dont get it.
yeah 24/7 only exist because of floyd.......
I agree to a certain extent... for instance, I had really never seen this from many pacquiao in the past:

it wasn't really until two or three fights ago till he started to develope it.

Roach gets full credit for teaching him that.. it took him a few fights to master.

anyway, the way I see it is that trainers should get their due credit, but shouldn't be in the spotlight much. What the Mayweathers due just bugs me. It isn't about you, it's about your fighter. I couldn't care less if you think you are the greatest trainer ever..
I'm sure most people couldn't either. He failed as a fighter and now he is trying to milk something else for fame.. sorry Sr. but you had your shot. Let these cats enjoy their spotlight.
i feel you on the trainers get too much credit thing sometimes though. especially when it comes to the mayweathers. they also get too much blame , i.e. one of my other favorite trainers buddy mcgirt.
rizoom's a brit. i don't think he gets to see those hbo shows.
sky or setanta might carry the fight but might not the countdown.
O, I see. I thought he was an American because of the Rocky pic and s/n.
trainers are important sin. ask ricky. bet you if he had a better trainer and camp he'd have lasted longer than 2. maybe 5 at least.
trainers help you with your gameplan before and during the fight. the right instruction , can mean the difference between a loss and a win. fighters don't see what's going on in the fight. they only see what's in front of them. plus with the adrenaline and action going on you don't see things a trained eye with a 3rd person view can see.
it doesn't hurt jmm that he has one of the best in the business.

i wouldn't mind a 24/7 series with floyd and JMM, for floyd it be interesting to see his take on pacman, why he came out of retirement, heck why he retired in the first place, and his take on his father teaching hatton, floyd always an interesting character to listen to. as for jmm, id like to learn more about him as well, personally before May 2nd i ranked him as no.1 p4p nd yet not too many people in the UK know him.
what is going to be annoying is floyd vs pacman 24/7. imo they should only air 2 episodes for that fight otherwise they could seriously undermine the quality of the 24/7 series. besides at that stage theres not going to be too much we dont know about both.
as for haye vs vlad, setanta or german TV or HBO should do some sort of countdown, maybe not a 24/7 but a countdown like the cotto vs margarito fight. haye has made this fight damn interesting
I see Marquez as a private guy. I'd like to know what actually happened that night he hit his head on the steering wheel to get that huge gash on his head.
shut up.
you just want to stick your tongue in his culo , you sick fuck.
Inside the ring he may know a lot, but outside? Whats his day look like, family? Where he lives, etc.
i'd like to see a pac-jmm 3 24/7.
i don't watch 24/7 for the hype and bs like most do.
i like to see what the life of these boxers are like.
plus i'd like to see the behind the scenes of nacho and freddie strategizing against each other and maybe going over the old fights between manny and pac.
how is he your favorite and you "hardly know a thing" he's been in previous count down shows before: Barrera, Pacquiao, Diaz, Casamayor, etc.

y'all put too much emphasis on trainers now a days..

Are you kidding me? I hardly know a thing about my favourite boxer (Marquez) I would absolutely love to see him on 24/7.
