How great are them "poems" at the end of 24/7 episodes??

The las vegas strip. Find yourself in the midst of this tribute to imagination, find yourself pondering the human condition, the ability to comprehend our existence, to be awed by what is possible. It's a place that if nothing else makes you feel alive. A place perfect perhaps for the brutal reckoning that awaits tommorow night. On the surface, boxing is a demonstration of the animal instinct, but at it's heart, it's an expression of all man is capable of. The potential to realise the most improbable of dreams, the power of one to move millions, the resilience to endure loss and to emerge from it with added strength, the facility to develop the most particular of wisdoms, the tolerance to live even when deteriation is inevitable. With peerless skill, pure faith and tenacious purpose they enter the ring.. Animals fighting on instinct, men celebrating what is possible. .......................................

wait youre telling me that the narrator of 24/7 is the same guy who played saber tooth in wolverine and in "the omen"? get the **** out of here, i dont believe you...Yup, that's him. He said that he treats these 24/7 shows as if their National Geographic documentaries. Did you know that Gene Hackman is the voice of the Lowe's commericals? Jeff Bridges for Hyundai? Billy Crudup (the blue guy in Watchmen) for Mastercard? Ed Harris for Home Depot?

I find it odd that people still like this crappy series.It was a good idea at the time,but it's clearly run it's course now.It doesn't matter what fight or who's fighting,every episode is always the same,generic story that has very little to do with boxing. I'm sure even floyd mayweather's greatest fans don't care what kind of a relationship Mayweather has with his father anymore. Showtime has done a good job with their countdown episodes with the super six tournament.

Best one ever, hands down. I also enjoyed the part at the end of episode 3 of DLH-Mayweather, if anyone has that episode go watch the end of it, it's remarkable.

The show is designed to make people want to watch. And it's obviously doing it's job. Indeed.. That first installment of 24/7 came at the perfect time.. When Floyd was finally about to fight Oscar and the build up.. Nobody ever seen a series like that until then.. Minus 24/7, I really don't think that fight would have did as well.. Now people are use to these great build ups, which is why Mayweather-Mosley didn't do as well..

I wish they would stop with the goddamn poems and musical montages. This isnt ****ing Rocky III. The show is designed to make people want to watch. And it's obviously doing it's job.

stop rootin for ye green teef, me lad http://myboxingfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/roy02.jpg

They're starting to piss me off to be fair. Especially when most of the fights turn out to be one sided. stop rootin for ye green teef, me lad

Basically, that dude good with them words, y'nah'sayin', but they should let The Punisher get them final thoughts out for the fans, y'nah'sayin'. Lemme get a crack at it, I know how to, y'nah'sayin', get that emotion involved. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

24/7 dialogues are nice!! my favorites are the hatton/mayweather and the pacquiao/hatton. i think nas would be great at narrating some of these 24/7s.

I completely agree with you TS,they are out of this world. By far my favorite was the one that closed the Pacquiao-Cotto series in episode 4: ''They measure a boxing match by how many rounds it goes just as they measure a man's life by how many years he lives but in both cases offcourse those measurments tell only part of the story.Far more interesting is a closer examination of the small handfull of moments that really matter. Amid the infinite beats of time there are instances that change everything for someone,split seconds that last as long barriers between someone before...and after...in these flashes years of mastery can be easily oblitarated and the fates of millions can be at once senselassly devastated. Unbalanced realities that Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao are well acquainted with as boxers and as men.They strive for lasting legacies ultimately earned by impulse.They train for months on end to prepare for battles that can be decided by a single blow.They enter the ring to earn victories collected by time's secret collection of infinite beats. Long after saturday night what will be remembered?How many years they lived?How many rounds they fought?Or what happened in that small handfull of moments that really happened?'' Seriously watch it,it's tremedous.

Yea, ok... How many emmys has it won again?? That's right.. My bad, I forgot the Emmys had a "best intro dialogue" award.

I wish they would stop with the goddamn poems and musical montages. This isnt ****ing Rocky III.

All the intro/outro monlogues in 24/7 are hilarious, they come off as a really poor attempt at being philosophical and insightful but they're not; they're superficial, generic and not intelligent at all. The guy that write them obviously stuggle every time the make an episode/series cause their material is getting thinner and thinner. Some of them are hilarious, like "magical book of immortality". Yea, ok... How many emmys has it won again?? That's right..

THIS ONE was brilliant, it was inspirational stuff man, "More than most, boxers are products of place, inevitably, where they come from shapes why they end up in the ring, and how they fight once they get there, next Saturday night, Mexican fortitude confronts American swagger, in a clash of two vastly different men, from two vastly different places". And THIS also got me hyped too, classic stuff!!.. "It's been said that in this ring, the truth will eventually find you, for Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton, the moment of truth is looming, 48 hours until the opening bell sounds, and a fire, stoked through months of training, ignites with a hellish flurry, at first glance they're two men with nothing in common, a brash, gifted product of an American ghetto, and a classic English brawler, with a quiet confidence, but at it's essence boxing is a simple sport, it's routines and rythyms steadfast and universal, train alongside those who know you best, learn from those who you trust most, respect the wisdom of those who've been there before, and embrace the promise of those just on their way, most of all slowly but firmly sharpen your focus, to the brutal task that lies ahead, punish your opponant, more than he punishes you, so after months of sacrifice and suffering, in that moment just before the bell sounds, Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton, will have more in common with eachtother, than anyone else in the world, across a combined 81 professional fights, they've found only victory, on Saturday night, the truth will find them".

(Mayweather Hatton 24/7) of all the 24/7s that aired, none of the endings came close to this one i had this up on my myspace back then even for a few months after the fight the message, the music, the buildup, the fact that they were both undefeated, good vs bad boxer.... and the overall message, it will never be topped.
