Why no HBO 24/7 for Chad Dawson vs Hopkins?

24 7 is for girls. real men watch countdowns ONLY LOL! i was with my friend and he was flipping through hbo and 24/7 was on (he knows im a huge boxing fan) and i had to apologize because it was so embarrassing. we might as well have been watching big brother or something. my whole beef with the 24/7 is that its an advertisement to sell the fight to you if you aren't a true fan of the sport. it tries to get you to feel emotions towards a certain fighter whether it's just them acting or not. hbo edits it to show you want they want you to see and what they think interests the common person. on the other hand, i feel like the countdown is something to get you pumped for the fight because you already know you're gonna watch it and you're a fan of the SPORT. i also prefer those super 6 boxing 360 or whatever its called over 24/7. i feel like it has more to do with the actual sport than the out of the ring drama. i like how they show the business side of the sport too with the promoter meetings and stuff. sure the drama is funny and all but i feel like the sob story background info and family stuff (like on the contender) is just to get women interested in the fight. but then again, i'm not your average consumer so my opinion should always be taken with caution on here

because chad dawson sucks as a human

Nobody gives a fukk about their personal lives b.

Countdown material. No 24/7 needed. Are they gonna show a countdown?

I'd rather watch 4 Episodes of Boating with the Mayweathers. http://tinyurl.com/29xvr2g

Because nobody cares about them This. Because the 24/7 will be even more dull then their fight And this.

-It isn't necessary -Chad Dawson is popular among boxing fans, but not casual fans. -Bernard Hopkins although a name, can't sell a PPV (remember Winky vs Hopkins).

I wouldn't mind it but it would be boring with Chad talking, plus people don't know them and don't follow them.

C'mon on Dawson has no personality is not even a good excuse? Pacaqauio has no more personality and the dude can barely speak english for god sake! they made 24/7 for pac vs cotto, two dudes who can barely speak english and 0 personality lol! I think Bernard would keep it entertaining! If u could stand Ortiz this last 24/7 I'm sure America could stand Dawson lol! Don't disregard how boring the fight will be too. Pacquiao can have a boring 24/7 series, but his fight will be entertaining, at least from his end. BHop and Dawson r both boring come fight night (most of the time).

So females are the only ones who enjoy good documentaries/fight prep? stfu and go post somewhere else. more like reality tv. you don't like my posts, you go post somewhere else you little crybaby. the show is more about drama/life outside of the ring than actual fight preparation. i prefer countdowns, block me you biitch.

The last Countdown show I remember watching was Winky-Bhop. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was better than the fight. I love bhop but that was the most boring fighting I have every scene.

It'd be boring as hell, no offense to Hopkins.

Ya instead of taking nightquil, I'll just watch this.

Because Chad Dawson has no personality & with Bernard Hopkins, all you'll probably hear in each episode is that he can still hear the jail warden. :haha: the jail warden. bhops is the man though, i'd love to see him on a series of 24/7.

countdown > 24/7. 24/7 has little to do with boxing in my opinion. it's geared more towards females. So females are the only ones who enjoy good documentaries/fight prep? stfu and go post somewhere else.

Totally agree, a countdown would be cool. I still don't get who the hell is gonna buy this PPV (although I love the match up). me...been waiting on this fight for awhile now

would you really wanna watch 4 episodes of that???
