this 24/7 was even more boring !

[arraamis]

i enjoyed this one along with the first two. i still don't know what people expect to get from this series.

Interaction!!!

We just don't want to observe Pac & Cotto ... We want to get to know them from their point of view. Get their thoughts, ideas, concepts, goals etc......

The way this is going ... we could just skip the video and just take pictures with a commentator.

what if pac and cotto insult each other's culture? lol

[Easy-E]

its was pretty good. but it is true that FMJ makes 24/7 more enjoyable.

what if pac and cotto insult each other's culture? lol

If that ever happened this would be a huge fight...Boxingscene would have to block out so many guys cussing eachother out and trying to supress all the racial slurs in every freakin post. Things would different and would be interesting to see who the villain would be.

Let's be real though...Manny singing love songs in the Phillipines and here in the states doesn't allow for that type of marketing. And Cotto as much as I can see playing the villain is just a reserved type of guy that doesn't make bold statements like Tito did or Juanma does. He's an introverted type of guy, that even when he's pissed he is still calm...calm before the storm in the ring.

I dont know why every one talks all this **** yet your probally the first to tune in when it's on

I didn't like this one. I hear Cotto isn't giving HBO much to work with as far as footage so that's all they can do.

But I do blame HBO for not putting this fight in perspective. It's where you need outside voices to help do that, but 24/7 does not include that. Why not have some experts come on and give their thoughts on the historical significance of this fight? Why not provide causal fans with analysis on why this fight will be so good?

Overall I think Top Rank and HBO could both do better at that. On paper this fight has war written all over it, yet I haven't even heard it mentioned by HBO until the Dawson fight tonight. Manny is going for his 7th title and it still hasn't been brought to light.

HBO is too caught up in the glitz and glam of Mayweather, De La Hoya, or even Hatton that they've stuck to this recipee to 24/7. Well that recipee doesn't work for Cotto nor does it work for the third Pacquiao one. The first two episodes were good, but I figured they'd actually include more analysis on the actual fight instead of the same montage of fighters hitting mitts.

That's just me.

cotto is a quiet type guy. not a camera whore. nothin wrong with that

[Al Haymon]

why continue to watch it if this 24/7 is boring?

Because he is a boxing fan.

Do you turn off boring fights? Or stick it out hoping something happens?

[Al Haymon]

The celebrity angle is obvious and desperate.

Jeremy Piven and Mark Wahlberg? Hmmm, where would I know them from? Oh yeah, they are the star and executive producer, respectively, of an HBO comedy series.

You have a point - Some characters can carry the show with their BS, antics and bizaar points of view. But, when you don't have characters of this type, there has to be a backup plan to inject excitement into the show.

And HBO doesn't seem to have a backup plan.
