    Also I would hate to see Cotto on a 24/7. The man bores the **** out of me when he's not in the ring.
    And the thing is, he speaks better English than Trinidad. but Tito was 1,000 times more charismatic.

      This is the biggest contrast in personalities, so it makes for the best television. You get to choose a side, get introduced to a fighter, and you get a charismatic draw in, in the first place. It works better than Cotto/Mosley who are both too nice, nothing EXCITING about them, outside the ring. They don't BORE me, they just don't intrigue me, either. Also, Kessler/Calzaghe, for example, are two guys America is not TOO familiar with. That doesn't work too well. Finally, you HAD Taylor/PAVLIK, but neither guy is that big of a contrast, either. Both were nice guys. Taylor tried to act like a bad guy, I didn't buy it. I doubt many did. Mayweather/Hatton works the best.

        If ever there were two fighters made for a 24/7 it would be Mayweather and Hatton.

          HBO isn't even plugging the Cotto/Mosley fight during their fights. They mention Hatton/Mayweather and Jones/Trinidad though. I don't think Mosley/Cotto needs a 24/7 show, but it wouldn't hurt to plug it every once in a while.

            Mosley- Cotto is not a big enough fight, neither really has a personality outside of the ring AND not enough intrest. It will be lucky to do 225,000 buys on PPV while Mayweather and Hatton will do millions.

                let's see.. cameras around you the whole time, lots and lots of interviews/talking. Now, examine the language barrier.

                English speakers:

                Floyd- Yes
                Hatton- Yes for the most part, ****in manc bastard
                Shane- Yes
                Cotto- No
