    I really enjoyed funny moments like this, coz it shows these people's characters in real life, therefore making me respect them more as human beings.
    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...

        I really liked this 24/7 episode
        Its nice to see them focus on the actual fight and the fighters and not all the materialistic things and shi t talking crap that mayweather does
        and just FYI 24/7 was created for De La Hoya not Floyd
        Floyd just used it to boost his career and it worked well for him

            Shouldnt you care that Floyd's fights are much better than his boxing preview show, Because isnt that what matters most?

            As a Surgeon General *******, that's what im proud of, that Pac is a exciting fighter & puts up exciting knockouts & fights. I could care less if his 24/7 boxing preview show is not on some Curb your enthusiasm funny level or russell crowe gladiator level action.

            WTF do you want to happen? Pac to start acting like a ****** ignorant chilld & star disrespecting past & current fighters like floyd does? Start acting like a person with zero home training, start throwing money around, go on racist tirades, start rapping incoherent gibberish, start flaunting his wealth & rub it in people's faces?

            Ohh i get it now, you want Pac to go BET rap city, because that's what's cool right? I guess Floyd set the ****** fab standard or subhuman standard.

            Chris Rock is funny. Muhammad Ali is witty. Floyd is neither. I dont get entertained by ****** ignorant ******ness. I grew up around it.

            I actually enjoy all the 24/7 because we dont really get a lot of boxing shows here in america. I enjoy & take pride that boxing is on a big medium like hbo. I enjoy seeing footage of other countries that's completely different from the U.S. & seeing Pac's life as well as seeing Roach & the philippine people's interactions & reactions to them.

            I think the fact that floyd isnt in 24/7 acting like a ****** & the fact that well its pac, the show gets hated on even though the show is in fact entertaining & exquisitely done by hbo productions.

            Maybe Pac can order his goons to shoot up a small provincial skating rink so he can get approval from *****s.


            Maybe.
            You enjoy Pac's 24/7s because you'd eat the corns out of Pac's asshole. You'd watch his 24/7s if they consisted of nothing except Pac staring at the camera. You don't care what happens, you just get hard at the sight of Pac on your TV screen.

              that's what the problem is.

              Agreed.

              They should just make a 30-minute-preview-esque show but it should be an hour. Enough time to get everything in.

              And yes I always do enjoy preview videos where the experts put up a bit of commentary. But I guess without 24/7, they couldn't follow them on a week to week basis. The series does seem to show everything that happened recently, like Pacquiao campaigning for Nevada Senator Harry Reid in Las Vegas.

                & you get real swole by doing chin ups using floyd's c*ck hoping it makes look more black & cool,

                but at the end of the day you are still a ukranian ******.

                      that's real rich, coming from a floyd fan. it wasnt pac's fault that clottey didnt want to engage. pac did his best, as evidence by him throwing punches & letting clottey hit him just so he can make clottey more offensive.

                      that's how you know pac has set a really high bar for bloodbaths & exciting fights, when haters start labeling a exciting dynamic fighter like pac boring.
