Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao: 24/7 Pt. 1 Reviewed

[JakeNDaBox]

In terms of sheer entertainment value on 24/7, neither Cotto nor Pacquiao hold a candle to Floyd Mayweather Jr. He constantly seeks to entertain and is a naturally funny man. I know a lot of people will continue to disparage him regardless of how he behaves or peforms in the ring, either because they are covert racists or because they simply don't understand/can't appreciate a boxing genius. People love to hate Floyd, but there's no escaping the fact he is the most talked about and most hotly debated boxer on the planet. This is because of his awesome boxing skills and larger than life personality. Pacquiao and Cotto are fairly likeable guys, but in terms of charisma, they are sorely lacking and the results can be clearly seen on the 24/7 series.

I don't know why, but I feel like Richard Schaefer's thoughts were transcribed in the form of this post.

I know what you're saying, though and agree on Pacquiao and Cotto. You nailed it on Floyd's desire to entertain that makes him entertaining. Not sure about the covert racist detractors, though, or the larger-than-life personality (that's the part that reminded me of Schaefer)

**** was wack Pacquiao acts like a geek and Cotto doesn't even look like he trains hard the best part of the show was Freddie Roach and i don't even like him but he brought all the entertianment i don't think alot of people are going to watch it beacuse its not that good ill watch it because im a boxing fan and i have a DVR so i just recored it but its not going to bring new fans to the sport like a 24/7 with Floyd Mayweather would HBO should take this as a lesson to not do a 24/7 unless you have a Mayweather somewhere in picture its just not the same but ill give the episode a B

fok, not only dat.

They foking spend about 4more minutes on him than Cotto!

and it mostly seem that they recorded more about the typhoon than the boxers itself....

He's more important than Cotto, that's what HBO thinks .

I did notice that Hatton fought Pacquiao soooooo wrong. I could not believe how open he left himself. Even I would've put him down, plus the distractions in hatton's corner might've affected him. I do notice that miguel seems the most focused he has ever been. His comments about ending fight for benefit of family/health is sooooo true. Why risk getting hurt sooo bad that november 14th would've never arrived. If cotto wins this it'll be the best decision he ever made. Plus, i think the margarito defeat is the best thing that ever happened to him.

the best 24/7 's are all the mayweather fights. think what u want floyd is a funny dude, and his uncle entertains just by speaking.. and this author had a point, what if they did this for ali fights, or sugar ray leonard or pernell whitaker, man that wouldve been good. pacquiao and cotto great fighters, both boring

Yeah is pretty bad when floyd's 24/7 episodes are more entretaining that his fights! I'll watch a Pacquiao or Cotto fight any day over Mayweathers!!!

[boojee]

imo, it's partly because of lack of good sound tracks.

are you reading this 24/7 people?

and next time don't put 24/7 before the fighters names, it's always about the fighers.

Just watch it and i notice Cotto and his dad believed that Margarito had plaster in his wraps..His dad saying he had blood tears and blood coming out of places they never knew can out from is amazing.

I kind of feel for cotto after watching his dad say that, I hope he can recover from the Margarito fight mentally.

Yeah he's more entertaining in 24/7 than in the ring.

LOL. "Pacquiao acts like a geek."

And yes, Mayweather's 24/7s might be exciting, but his fights usually aren't. And that's because he doesn't like to take too many chances inside the ring and he doesn't care about entertaining you, which is respectable because he does what he needs to do to win. You'll never see him pulling an Erik Morales, switching southpaw in the last round just to entertain the fans. But yeah, Pac-Cotto 24/7 might not have been filled with flash and excitement, but their fight will.

Don't let Cotto's limited English knowledge confuse you. He has said over and over again everywhere that he will win on Nov. 14th. What you might have seen is a person gathering his thoughts while he speaks and looking for the proper way to say, because he does not dominate nor speaks the English language fluently.

this just means that cotto is underestimating pac.......tsk tsk...
