    how anyone can find something as predictable as mayweather's antics exciting, i will never know. you already know what to expect. people are more interested in the opponent because its a new story. something different. with mayweather its, "im hella rich, he aint gonna do **** cuz he's overrated, flashy cars, my daddy used to beat me, im rich, 500 on the wrist, im rich, and i got money."

      A show like 24/7 is designed to make more casual viewers watch the show. It's not a cheap show to produce.

      How much increase in PPV sales are there gonna be for non-Spanish speaking viewers who decide to order Cotto-Margarito after four 24/7 episodes of reading Margarito's subtitles and Cotto's boring old quotes?

        I'm not. Bhop isn't a PPV fighter. Non of his PPV's do good business unless he's fighting at Tito or DLH. Winky vs Bhop did terrible numbers and HBO etc finally realized this.

        But after the first two 27/4's I feel the Mayweathers should have their own reality TV show.

        I love good old uncle Roger.

          Hopkins and Calzaghe would have been a craaaaazy 24/7, it would definitely have eclipsed the antics of Mayweather/De La Hoya series by far.
          The other possible 24/7 series that would command attention would be a Cotto/Mayweather series.
