Comments Thread For: Who Am I Picking? Fight Camp 360!

[Libido Sanchez]

I agree that Fight Camp 360 has been great television. It would be nice if 24/7 borrowed or was "influenced" by it in that it shows a more well-rounded view of what happens behind the scenes by including more of the (sleazy) promoters, the fighter meetings, the families, the locker room stuff and the post fight results.

It was also cool that they just didn't forget about Jermain Taylor and still included him.

360 deserves a bigger audience.

I like 24/7 much better. There just isn't enough 24/7's for me. I could watch that show every week.

While I certainly enjoy both programs, I enjoy Fight Camp 360 much more than I do 24/7. While both are probably considered commercials or promotional shows for upcoming fights by their respective networks, it's Showtime's program that feels less like a commercial and more like an honest look at what transpires before, during, and after a bout. In my opinion Fight Camp 360 has far more heart than 24/7 does. While Fight Camp comes across as intriguing, honest, entertaining and interesting, 24/7 more often than not feels like an MTV production which focuses only on the event rather than the people involved in it.

If I have any complaints about Fight Camp it would be it's schedule and running time. I'd like to see Fight Camp run an for an hour and shown premiered just prior to the next big fight.

Some thoughts about FC 360:

1) The camera style really draws you into the fight.

2) No, Dirrell wasn't faking

3) The promoter meetings are freakin' awersome

4) Kalle Sauerland is the best-dressed man in the sport.

5) I feel sad for Jermain Taylor.

I like that in fc360 you really get to see the fighters be themselves where as 24/7 feels more like a promotion. I like em both, though fc360 needs another half hour.

The best thing about it is we get to see stuff AFTER the fight, whereas 24/7 is really just a big pre-fight hype machine.

I always said I would love for HBO to have one last episode after the the fight, show us what goes down in the dressing room after the fight, etc.

And that's what 360 can give us.

This was the best episode since the first one. It was great with the ringside reactions and the build-up in fight week was excellent. Great to be so close to the fighters. You really get to know them.

Natas, what happened to your AA sig-gif? I loved it.

Fight Camp has more fighters on it which gives us more angles.

Fight Camp 360 is great, but:
1. The translation of the german parts into english are often not correct
2. It could be a bit longer, i would say 45 mins would be the best. One hour is to much and it could get boring.

You have any examples?

You have any examples?

Not to take the play away from Tobi, but some of the instructions from Ulli Wegner in the corner was translated wrong.
