    I felt sorry for the philippines but man, i watch the news enough as it is...didnt need to see it all on 24/7
    same. i do feel bad for them and it is worthy of showing but it's not the moment. we tuned it tonight to watch behind the scenes footage of each boxers training camp leading up to the fight. it's not what i watch 24/7 for. i mean, of course they had to show some of it because it did happen and it was significant (plus hbo always likes to show a little background on boxers and their life outside of the ring), but it shouldn't have taken up half of the show. seemed every time they would switch over to pacquiao you would see more of the philippines than you'd see about him. it was disappointing to say the least.

    i got exactly what i expected from cottos parts. training footage and everything related to him and his preparation towards the fight. a few clips here and there of what his life was like outside of the ring. it was nicely balanced. that scene where he was walking towards the gym with his team, and the scene where they introduced all of them was badass. we need for pacquiaos part to be just as interesting for the episodes to be entertaining. i hope the next episodes turn out to be more intriguing.

            I got to say it passed through my mind!!

            hopefully they will focus next episode in their training

                    That **** look like a dam documentary of the typhoons.

                    I swear that **** was all boring.

                    I only like the moments where Pac's advisor koncks and ariza were discussing about their fight and Cotto's part.

                    The rest was predictable.

                    It's the reason why I hate Pac in 24/7 they always got to show the dam PI, that place is boring..
