Who was that sparring partner that PBF bloodied on 24/7?

[DELETED ACCOUNT 06]

24/7 was a brilliant piece of Marketing. Basically, a Countdown show on steroids.

HBO took a big risk and put it on their most important night (sundays). Ross Greenburg said that they had the idea for awhile, but they needed the right fighters - and the right fight - to get behind.

Risk paid off BIG TIME.

I made a thread about this.

I would love to see 24 - 7 for Hatton and PBF. It would be brilliant,

How did the risk pay off? If the fight ****** and couldn't even be considered a good fight? That was one of the worst boxing fights ever and boring as ****. The show was better then the actual fight. Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy fight had interviews before the fight and they were intresting and that fight lived up to expection. Mayweather vs Dela Hoya was crap

i agree, it probably put people off boxing, hyping the public up for that, i bet it put hundreds of people off boxing who were just casual fans or just general public, the fight was ****.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but.....

Well.....
The fight did 2.2 million PPV buys - far shattering the previous record.
The 24/7 reality show had very high ratings on HBO's Sunday night.
The fight did over $120 million in revenue.
Ross Greenburg said it was successful and is "almost certain" that he will do it again for a Mayweather fight.
Chris Albrecht was extremely happy with how it turned out.

Sorry, Soldier. But you don't know everything better than everyone else. Apologies to those who don't need the obvious pointed out to them.
