    Hbo did a fantastic job on the Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 series,due to the fact that both fighters are highly respected and followed by fans from all over the world.Plus both Manny and Ricky are great & humble men,which makes it hard for the casual fan to root for either one.I was hooked from the very beginning........

      That Kool-Aid looked some damn tasty




      You read my mind, Benny. Though that scene was some enticing visual presentation among others, of course.

        The scene with Manny walking through the Church is quite intriguing.

        They don't win Emmy Awards for no reason.

          I'm really torn watching the latest 24/7 because both are good guys. The show is fantastic though, I've been watching it live when it airs and downloading them for keeps. The last 24/7 is going to air this Friday before the fight. Incredible insight.

            It's been good, but the ones with Mayweather are hilarious.

              I know I said I hate Pacman but I was jsut trying to stir the pot. Fact is after watching the series I and reading the article on pac in the latest ESPN mag he is a chill dude as is Hatton. It kinda bores me though cause they isnt any beef between the two. The best has to be mayweather oscar 24/7. But the show overall is great. I just want Hatton to win cause he got rocked in his last fight and it sets up Pac (losing to Hatton) and Marquez (losing to Mayweather) for a third time.

                  You cant go wrong with it. It's why I liked the movie Friday Night Lights.

                    The story is getting old, and they seem to find some ways to still make it interesting. The visuals on that show are incredible. I'd watch the show even if I hated boxing.

                      24/7 is a really well made program and quite entertaining too.
