        Source? I don't think this would get much more than a countdown.

          Scroll down to the part where Arum talks about it.

          Arum is promoting the July 26 welterweight championship megafight between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito in LasVegas. He said the best HBO could do for that promotion was a countdown show, which is not nearly as elaborate as the "24/7" pieces it recently began doing.
          "They don't do `24/7' except for what they deem select matches," Arum said of HBO. "And they are doing a `24/7' for that (Calzaghe-Jones) fight. And that's crazy. It's embarrassing."

            Thanks for the source, Arum is the one saying it so I won't totally believe it's true until HBO announces it.

              i can agree that there have been alot of fights that could have been great for 24/7... but i think this one could be great as well. Likely be the last fight for both guys, not to mention 24/7 is good for the sport, gets people pumped for the fights, draws alot of people in that wouldnt normally watch the fight.

                if roy jones and joe calzaghe dont deserve a 24/7 then who does?

                roy, one of the best of this era.. is about to leave us... roy cracked history and is looked at as one of the best pound for pound fighters ever... and hes on his way out...

                and joe calzaghe, 45-0, about to have his last fight (or so we think)

                i think thats 24/7 worthy... and more than floyd vs oscar
