    To be honest, I was looking away every now and then. The only truely decent parts worth watching was during the Jones coverage. I'm not too much into this 24/7 just cause I take this fight almost meaningless at this point. I mean sure Jones has a chance to end the guys win streak, and Joe has chance to beat Jones, but cmon. They are both in the wrong decade of fighting each other. This PPV to me seems like a generic one almost that they could have just did a countdown to rather than invest so much resource into 24/7 when I doubt it'll do that much PPV buys. They should save their money and put as much as possible into Pac-Oscar. A very intriguing fight that can help put boxing back on the map.

        Pretty good show, I always like 24/7, but it is just not the same without Floyd Mayweather.

          It was very polished. A brilliantly put together programme.

          Americans are so much better at hyping things. I thought it was excellent.

          I don't think Roy Jones made the right noises, 'If I lose, so what but if he loses'......that sounds awful to me.

            I try not to read too much into things, but Roy (who I already feel has a very slim chance) having that "happy to be here" type attitude and saying there's not much pressure on him wasn't very re-assuring for those rooting for him.

            I'd rather hear a fighter with that "I'm scared to death of losing" attitude than acting like he's just happy to be there.

                agree, i also think they should have done a 24/7 for cotto-margarito, lets hope they do one for the rematch because that fight definitely deserved it

                  24/7 is designed to get more casual viewers tuned in, especially in the states.

                  Their personalities (Floyd's trash talk and playing the heel, Hatton's common man persona) play a role.

                  How are two guys who speak limited, broken English going to help sell the PPVs to common fans?

                  That's a waste of production money.

                    English subtitles might kill the vibe a little.
