    Getting it. And yeah I could stream it or go to a bar or some ****, but why do that when I can get it HD on my big screen and watch it in the comfy confines of the crib?

      This is Floyd's least known opponent since he was fighting on Boxing After Dark on HBO and there will be no 24/7 to get people taling. Showtimes version sucks.
      Plus there is no prospect of a Pacquiao fight to help hype this one up.
      I see it doing just over a million.
      This is a "depends on what I happen to be doing that Saturday night" type of fight vs a "I am clearing my calender to make sure i see this" type of fight.
      **** yeah Im gonna buy it.

      I dont think it will do very well either. Maybe 1.5 mil.

      Wait what..?

        1.6 Million. Its big, but not close to Mayweather vs De La Hoya.

              First sentence in bold is true, but I disagree with the second sentence. While HBO's 24/7 likely has more viewers, the Showtime version is very artistic and pretty damn entertaining.

              Watch this and give your opinions, this one was really good. And I like how they actually do "epilogues" so they know what both camps are like before, during, and AFTER the fight.

              The narrator's voice is not as soothing as HBO's that's for sure though.

                  No, but the undercard is better than the main event. I like Guerrero but he should not be fighting Mayweather.

                    I would if it was Mayweather against Trout or Alvarez. Those are ppv fights.

                      I see this equal to 24/7 but the narrators voice sounds like he smokes 10 packs a day or something.
