All Access sucks compared to 24/7

[craigus1990]

I know I am probably in the minority here but I disagree. Don't get me wrong some 24/7's were classic, like mentioned before Mayweather V Hatton was excellent. But I always found 24/7 always tried to turn things into a soap opera or a Rocky movie. There was too much clutching at straws to find a story and dramatizing everything, I think it is aimed more at casual viewers who want to see grudges and drama/stories. All access I feel is more a true documentary... an account of the events leading up to the fights from the fight camps. It may lack the drama of 24/7 but I don't buy into a lot of that cheese anyway and I enjoy rawness of All Access... it just seems less fake... less about the drama and more about the fight camps. Just my opinion anyway, as I say... I am in the minority I am sure.

I was hoping they would give at least 1 episode for Matthysse-Garica but its Floyd doing the same thing he always does and Canelo who has the same amount of personality as a peice of wet cardboard

Because Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley, and Tim Bradley were just busting with personality on 24-7.

All Acess is just fine.

24/7 is better, but all access is not bad.

Nice post of some independent thinking, Craigus, and ...

The All Access shows seem more like a day in the life of these guys, not a lot of drama.

I think Qball's post is actually what I like about AA > 24/7. I don't need nor want manufactured soap opera. What impresses me about these athletes is their athletics. Besides, if you do want soap, it's in AA plenty also (e.g. the whole Floyd-Oscar side-story).

all access was really good when it first started because they used very little narration. it was raw. ever since they got floyd they've used more narration and it's not as good.

I agree with this. I enjoyed it immensly during the super six tournament. It feels a bit too much like its trying to be the same show as 24/7 now. Still enjoyable to me, but not as focused on the training and actual fights.

Both do squat for me, Cotto vs Margarito was the only one that was actually entertaining. The rest are crap.

For real, 24/7 smashes all access.Hbo's endings alone dominate a whole episode of all access...I cant wait till pacquiao-rios 24/7..

On another note.. They gave a shout out to Boxingscene on episode 2

True dat.

Though I still watch both.

Well obviously. HBO is the king of Cable TV. You can't get much higher level in terms of quality television than an HBO production.

This All Access isnt that bad, especially compared to the recycled 24/7's we got. But nothing will compare to DLH-Floyd and Hatton-Floyd, these current fighters just have no personality, and dont speak english. This might come off the wrong way but i dont wanna read half of the show
