Well there is one small problem. 24 7 is all about selling the fight and increasing PPV buys. After the fight airs no one will be purchasing the PPV, and these documentaries cost a lot of money to make, and HBO does not care enought about us consumers to give us a free documentary, since it would not be used to promote the fight and hence increase their revenue since the fight will have already taken place, just my $0.02.
24/7 Needs to start having a 5th episode (after the fight)

right I understand that, but if they aired it before the replay of the PPV it would serve as promotion for that. (Because they still want/expect to have good ratings for the replay).Comment

I agree and that's the difference between 24/7 and Fight Camp 360. With the latter a post-fight episode is useful since it doesn't end there as the fighters will continue in the tournament (except Taylor of course). With Mayweather-Mosley there's really no telling what the future holds for either.Well there is one small problem. 24 7 is all about selling the fight and increasing PPV buys.

Business aside, I wish there was a post-fight episode.Comment

I'd love to see it but it won't happen. They don't really need to promote the replay because anybody watching the after fight episode or replay already have HBO, and they aren't going to sell more network subscriptions off of it. No incentive for them, but for the fans I absolutely love that idea.Comment

As a network they still care about ratings though right? Couldn't the last episode, if shown before, possibly boost those ratings?I'd love to see it but it won't happen.
