    NHL, NFL, Nascar do well W/O HBO advertising it. It's just a long ad. If you like long ad, go for it.
    You're right about one thing. It is just a long ad.

    The most successful long ad in sports broadcasting history.

          I will waiting. Please watch the reruns as well. Knock yourself out.
          Watch it cuz...it's "SUCCESSFUL" to your standard. Even though the boss of the division got fired and not b/c it is exciting fresh but rather stale old. Kind of like wide world sports in ABC except never had the long run like the one in ABC.

                I know alot of fans are really into 24/7 but I am not. To me it is an advertisement for a fight I will watch anyways with alot of information I usually already know. I would personally trade it for more live boxing if I had a say in it.

                  The Face off is sufficient, the two guys fighting a foot and a half from one another talking about their thoughts on facing the man in front of him with Kellerman facilitating the conversation is plenty.

                  Would like them to do away with 24/7 its tedious and been over done.
                  I agree with you. I don't watch them at all-after I saw the first couple. Rehashed garbage which we already know, plus a little "pathos" thrown in. Dreary, with artificially drummed up excitement. Aimed at the casual fan, not real boxing folk.

                  On another point, has anyone ever seen Kellerman with a "releaxed" face. His glaring eyes, and manner of squeezing out questions from tight lips seems intimidating. Perhaps one day a boxer will push the microphone right back into his face.

                    that 30-60 betting record of his might beg to differ

                      I think too much of the family interaction isnt necessary...its like those MMA reality shows, they show these guys at their hard core best...not with the family, not the "other side" of them...boxing fans want to know more about the FIGHTING side of these guys...it would be more interesting to see them interacting with guys in the gym, with other fighters...especially if their were name fighters in the mix sparring, hanging out, etc...
