    I'm not. CNN can do the MAnny/JMM 24/7 because there really isn't any drama there. Piers Morgan can interview MAnny and Bob because we all want to see Bob jump in when Piers asks Manny about PED testing and the no condoms policy. That will be funny.

    I don't want to see and edited 24//7. If anything they should have a separate show where they talk about floyd's background and legal issues and vic's background. I'd find that more interesting.

      I dont know why anyone would watch it on CNN when they can watch it on HBO, but any exposure is good for the sport.

        I didn't like it for Manny and I don't like it for PBF either!!

        I see so many people talking bringing casual fans to the sport. Well all sports need casual fans but boxing is a little different when it comes to that. In other sports it works well for casual fans because teams and in tennis players can't pick and choose who they will compete against. In boxing boxers can pick and choose. Like Arum said earlier this year "he doesn't give @#$% about the hardcore fans its the casual fans that bring in the money." So if a promoter whose main goal is to profit can sell a bill of goods to the casual fans for a fight that the hardcore fans know is BS how does that really help the sport?

        Casual fans will then be pissed off that they spent $50+ on a BS fight and will probably never give boxing another try. There has to be a middle ground found in order to force promoters to make better fights that will turn a good amount of those casual fans into real boxing fans. The **** that has been going on lately in boxing just turns people off IMO.

          I don't like 24/7 period. It has run it's course. Maybe see Ortiz on it would be interesting since is something new. But, Floyd, Pac, and JMM being at 24/7 bores me. They bring nothing new to the table. I have seen them on it already on it. I haven't seen Ortiz yet though.

            I agree.

            I'd enjoy it more if Floyd trash talked some more. I did enjoy the 24/7's for both Oscar and Hatton. But the Marquez and Mosley ones were boring, to me.

            Pac and Marquez both bore me from the start, pretty much the same thing every single time, same with Shane's two apperances.

            I imagine Floyd is going to be the same as his last 2 in this week so again, boring.

            But I do enjoy looking at their camps.

              I would be willing to bet the interview questions will be scripted.
              They not gonna let that man make a fool of himself regardless of how few people will be watching. Also I think they will focus more on Manny the congressman then Manny the boxer.

                i've always enjoyed 24/7. i believe its way better than fight camp 360. (in the context of covering Manny's fights of course)

                i enjoyed the soundtrack, finding it fit perfectly the subjects involved and found the voice over quite poetic at times.

                it would be interesting to see how 24/7 would cover ANOTHER pac fight to pique the fight fan's interest.

                  Irondanhamza makes a good point as does Jrosales. 24/7 has become stale because only floyd is worth watching. Hopefully Ortiz makes it better. Floyd could always raise the bar higher but I can't see how in this fight.

                      Fox is a joke to the rest of the world. It's so bias and politically directed it's not even funny. It's just a propaganda outlet for sure

                      I can't believe 1) it's aired and 2) people watch it.

                      I can't possible take anyone serious if they take Fox News seriously.....
