    The sad thing is, I have enjoyed Showtimes coverage of Floyd way more than in any 24-7 as of late.

    They just don't know how to put together a final product like HBO does.

    Common's narration is ****ing embarrassing.

      The promotion of the fight has been very weak, which is strange when Mayweather is involved.

      With productions like 24/7 and All Access, once you've seen a fighter involved you've generally seen them all. How many times do you need to see Floyd in the gym with his team/hangers on/goons standing around shouting "hard work, dedication", and pretending to laugh at his 'banter'. I think more effort should have been out into Alvarez/Trout to give people more of an insight into these two relatively unknown personalities.

        Gbp being stubborn put the main draws Nelo cotto and mayweather on hbo and keep the rest on showtime. Why go against something that is proven and works. And flat out better. Shame on u de la Hoya for downgrading ure product

If 1000 of the 25000 households with the box watched the fight that would be 4%, 4% of the estimated 114 million households with a TV = 4,560,000 and that is the number they release.
            Yeah thats the thing I dont like about nielsen ratings. They are only based off of a certain number of nielsen families. You can watch any show and the industry will never know you watched it unless youre a nielsen house.

              That All Access show is just as good as HBO 24/7, people are just nitpicking because of some deluded sense of loyalty to a network.

              HBO might as well declare bankruptcy now and close up shop. It's a wrap. Showtime ending up with all the best fighters, the Home Bum Office is officially over.

                Not really. HBO 24/7 is much better, from the opening, the music, narration, and theme songs, its the best product to lure casual fans, the only problem is they only do Pacquiao and Mayweather and should use it on new fighters to build them as stars.

                All Access is garbage, the 360 series was much better. Having Common as a narrator

                  I don't think Floyd has done press conferences the way he normally does them.His PPV might be disappointing
