YES!! I posted asking if this would happen ages ago! Can't ****ing wait!

Mayweather stole the show in 24/7 with Oscar, mainly because Oscar is devoid of any real personality. I think Hatton will steal the show from Mayweather in this installment of 24/7. He's already doing a good job at the press conferences with the bunny ears and ear muffs.

This is great for Ricky, I think this will get him a lot more American fans.

I thought the way Oscar takes his coffee and the way he plays with his dogs was incredibly entertaining.

They could have did another regular countdown show. Not too interested in 4 more episodes. The Oscar-Floyd thing got boring after the first 2 episodes.

Not for me. I wanted more.

Mayweather/Hatton 24/7 COMING!!!

"Dancing with the Stars" isn't enough reality TV this fall for pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr.

In addition to participating in the hit ABC reality show, Mayweather will also take center stage in "Mayweather/Hatton 24/7," a four-part HBO series that will follow Mayweather and England's Ricky Hatton as they prepare for their much-anticipated Dec. 8 (HBO PPV) welterweight championship fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In April and May, HBO cameras tracked Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya during the buildup to their fight, which shattered virtually every boxing box office record.

Mayweather was the clear star of the hit show, which, according to HBO, averaged 4.7 million viewers for each episode during the four-week run.

Bringing the series back for Mayweather's next fight comes as little surprise, and HBO made the announcement Wednesday with Mayweather (38-0, 24 KOs) and Hatton (43-0, 31 KOs) in New York meeting the media in the midst of a five-city, two-country press tour to promote the pay-per-view.

All 16,000-plus tickets to the fight at MGM Grand sold out in less than 30 minutes on Monday, generating a live gate of more than $10 million. Organizers will add thousands of closed circuit seats throughout Las Vegas, which will accommodate thousands of Hatton's British fans unable to get tickets to the arena.

The first 30-minute episode of "Mayweather/Hatton 24/7" will debut Nov. 18 (10 p.m. ET/PT). The second and third episodes will air in the same Sunday night time slot with the finale due to air Thursday, Dec. 6, two days before the bout.

The series is expected to have a similar feel to last spring's, meaning plenty of behind-the-scenes access to the fighters during training camp along with in-depth interviews with the fighters and members of their teams.

"In addition to this being the most anticipated welterweight title fight since Oscar De La Hoya squared off with Felix Trinidad in 1999, these are two of the sport's most engaging and colorful personalities," HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said in announcing the series. "We were thrilled with the launch of the '24/7' franchise last spring and believe we have found the ideal sequel.

"The contrasts between the cities of Las Vegas [Mayweather's base] and Manchester [Hatton's home] will be a terrific jumping off point for the series. We truly appreciate the commitment and cooperation of the fighters and their teams with this ambitious project."

thats good news for me anyway, i enjoyed the first one. i am obviously a mayweather fan so this will be interesting for me, and i also like ricky hatton i tihnk he is a nice guy so it will be fun to watch imo.

Hatton will shine in the series IMO. His personality, sense of humor and unique "just another one of the guys" angle will be portrayed well on camera and I think it will garner him a lot of American fans.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Mayweather will draw the fans in, and keep them there in the beginning. Then, Hatton will get some new fans. This benefits both, and helps boxing overall.
