No 24/7 for Pacquiao vs Bradley III?

Not really interested in this fight, but I will be watching it at my buddy house for free, Pac will be 3-0 against desert storm.

Oh that's true about the budget. It's why they're trying to do so many ppv's this year now.

HBO knows that this is probably not Manny's last fight, and theyll look stupid if they let themselves get caught up in the hype (again) and then go and do Pacquiao-Crawford 24-7 or whatever. Pacquiao-Bradley II underperformed. No one except us hardcores (well, some of us) want to see this fight, but 247 is to sell the fight to the casuals. So it makes sense HBO ain't spending the money to do it. Plus their budget got cut. I'm thinking this fight does 500k tops.

Bradley just isn't that interesting of a guy and we have seen Pacquiao on 24/7 for years now. Funniest thing is when they arranged all the little kids to gather around Bradley at his kids school before the first Pac fight. 20 kids were told to jump around Bradley like they actually knew who he was, half of them looking at the camera crew like "is this **** over yet?" Was hilarious. Lol didn't know that

A Road episode with Bradley and Atlas would be the only good idea, that is true. But the fact they aren't doing anything really shows you the disinterest.

HBO is broke first and foremost. And Pacquiao's story is so old and boring. He has 50 Filipino people following him around watching his every move and kissing his butt. He has a dog. Freddie Roach this, blah blah. Same old story. They should just do a "Road to" episode primarily featuring Bradley and his new trainer, Teddy. Makes for a great story.

Lol that budget

Well HBO is the one that is airing the episodes so I think HBO pays for the budget. And they seem to not care for this fight

Pointless.

Because HBO is broke

The fight needs to be sold? This is their third time fighting. If the fight needs to be sold then there's a problem. Manny is coming off the highest selling PPV in history. People know who he is. ya and that fight had hype obviously, this doesn't have that. This fight will do 500 k ppv max

Look at the abysmal job they did in selling Golovkin's last fight. Unification fight between two big punchers at MSG, one of whom's supposed to be their next big thing and all they came up with was some fifteen minute countdown. HBO aren't in the boxing business anymore.

why waste more money?

They probably want to forget about the comments. Sell the fact how Manny wants to be senator and retire.

mistake that their not doing it. The fight needs to be sold, and 24/7 could help a bit. Hype the Atlas perspective also the Manny and gay comments, and the rubber match etc.

Well I think it's a lack of faith in this fight doing well. Because production on 24/7 is money and they possibly don't want to waste it on a fight that is not going to sell anyway. There's not even the fact of it being Manny's last fight because there are mixed messages on that as well.

They have a 30 min special but what is there to talk about in 24/7? Like nothing.

Do they need Liev Schriber (sorry if I spelled Ray Donovan's name wrong) to do it? I don't think they have done a 24/7 without him. Maybe he wasn't available. They are doing a different hype show for the fight. If they weren't doing anything at all I think it's be a bigger deal, but is the fact that they are naming the show something different really going to affect PPV buys?
