    I would rather just watch a 30 minute program of two world class fighters sparring some of the best fighters they could get to prepare for their opponent with no commentary other than the trainer's instructions to the fighter in the gym.

    I don't need a storyline to be interested in the sporting event.

      Agreed. HBO somehow turns a boring story into a compelling one with these series, and not just boxing 24/7 they also do it with Hard Knocks and even the hockey 24/7s and I dont even like hockey.

      The only problem I have with the boxing 24/7 is that some of the fighters dont have a great storyline or entertaining personality to follow for four episodes. Unlike hard knocks and the hockey 24/7 they have a lot more players to focus on. Regardless though I usually tune in.

        I'm hyped for big fights when they're announced, 24/7 magnifies that. I've watched every boxing episode of 24/7 they've made.

              I enjoy 24/7.

              The problem now is that we've seen everything possible from the likes of Pacquiao, Cotto and Mayweather....they will keep getting 24/7 (or 24/7 style) coverage with every fight and we'll watch them do and say the same things over again.

              It needs more variation of fighters, seing Sergio for example was fresh. If they can bring 24/7 to more fighters then it will keep it good.

                Of course I would love to see knew faces, and honestly I wish someone would just cut Floyd and Manny out of them, cuz realistically they don't need 24/7's to sell fights anymore... Let's change it up

                I liked how they made Ward-Dawson 24/7 even though it wasn't a PPV, they should do that more often... Ward-Dawson wasn't very exciting, but anyone that thought it would be has my permission to slap themselves for being ignorant... There r a lot of trash talkers out there that may not be PPV worthy yet, but still deserve the push

                Why highlight established Stars when u can help build up and comers
                It has been obvious you're new to the sport.

                  Moving along... You don't like the show. Awesome. I get it.
                  Did tiger woods die? Or does he have a 24-7?

                      I have always been a fan, and don't mind the repetition of characters as most of these guys are my idols. If anything it is good to have an update on whats going on with them. Maybe more training footage, and some other improvements but I know a lot of camps wouldnt want that. I would rather have 24/7 than not, you guys complain too much.
