I concur.
Boxing isn't like in it's heyday in the 80s or even the glorious 50s, 60s and 70s and thus to show just purely about pugilism will not cut it. There isn't enough material and while not having enough boxers to feature within to talk about boxing and in comparison with other rivals.
Thus the humanity behind the boxing really is a good one to lure people into boxing. It isn't like HBO is fixated on the drama behind the scenes alone - there's plenty of boxing within the documentary.
But the introduction, the hype and the orientation of viewers leading towards the big fight IS the purpose of 24/7. I'd say they do a good job in the stand point of their storytelling, cinematography, editing, humor and their hyping...
