    pac-cotto 24/7.... a contrast in training camps, life

    based on 24/7, it looks like pac didn't have a very good camp: typhoon, mobbed by fans, media obligations, in house arguments and disputes, getting beat up by sparring partners, etc... you don't see any of pac's kids or his wife.


    In contrast, cotto's camp looks great: no distractions, love and support of the family and friends, total focus on training, etc.... also you see cotto's family all the time.

    I think that's HBO's storyline for the fight. pac is the irresistible force and cotto is the immovable object. 2 totally different fighters in the ring, in training, and in life.

      That's exactly how HBO is telling their stories.
      It helps both fighters IMO. If Pacquiao still manages to win then everyone should agree he is an absolute beast since he had all those problems in camp.

        Yes, the sparring clip of Cotto was very impressive.

          I'm not buying any of that ****. It's all freaking scripted except the typhoons.
          HBO is doing a great job inventing all these dramas to hype the fight...

            That's why HBO makes a lot of mullah.

              HBO is doing this to thicken the plot, makes it more exciting.

                When ODLH got a black eye, 24/7 didn't lie. I think it does have some truth in it. They might over did it but you know pacquiao was not in good shape- you really thing he's pretending in that sparring- i dont think so

                  This series is freaking garbage. What a waste of 30 mins...

                  HBO 24/7 crew ran out of story lines....haircut, barbecuing, a whale, biatching amongst Pac's team, Pac acting like a spoiled brat, dog failing to board the plane......
