Comments Thread For: HBO Explains Decision to Condense 24/7 Pacquiao/Algieri

[MisanthropicNY]

It's bcuz this fight is a joke and should be free 2 watch. .. Pacquiao is boring who n the hell wants 2 see his 247? He barely speak English.

From the way you type, you barely speak English yourself there. I don't know why you Floyd ****riders come on these forums for him anyway... it's not like Floyd can read your posts anyway

The ONLY REASON I watch the shows is for the footage of the fighters working out. If they just showed mostly fighters preparing, running, jumprope, hitting the mitts, ANY kind of exercising etc. etc. It would be a good show.



Like always, Mayweather ruined it all. By adding his same b.s., fake drama. And now it seems like the producers of the show feel like there has to be drama in a sports show. So now we're stuck with 1 episode.



I think that's pretty sad. The 24/7 shows actually used to hype me up to order the fight. Where as usually I probably wouldn't. And like I said, All I would watch the show for was for the workout parts of each fighter.

I'm not a girl, so I don't need the drama.



SOMEONE SHOULD TELL HBO THAT!

Translation: there's nothing to talk about, this fight is so trash we can't talk about it for four episodes.

Damn this is embarrassing. Why not regular HBO, this crap being PPV is offensive.

2 episodes would have been good.

If you're gonna do one segment only it should have been at least an hour long.

We want to know more about Algieri.

Yeah this. Motherf**kers are putting it on PPV. It may very well be a whack PPV but PPV nonetheless. 30 minutes?

HBO does 4 one hour 24/7's on a single, regular season hockey game for f**k's sake.

Too much overexposure and not widening the range of which boxers to cover. Instead of attaching 24/7 to PPV fights (which usually features the same fighters over and over) increase the budget, make the show a series and have it do half hour/hour shows of 12 or 13 different fights. While it would cost HBO more I would bet that in the long run the extra exposure would bring more viewership to HBO.

Pretty damn good idea actually.

Floyd doesn't even show any training footage, **** is like real house hoes of Vegas featuring Floyd Mayweather.

I'd much rather just see training footage and hear the coaches talk about fight strategy.

This, for the most part. I found it really weird not hearing anything from Floyd Sr. or Roger during All Access for Maidana II. As a result it dragged on as nothing more than a stage for Floyd Jr. and his latest batch of hoochies. :yuck:

Manny Pacquiao is recognized as the face of HBO Boxing. This much has been evident through his years on the network, and the commit to showcase the international superstar in his 10th appearance on its award-winning 24/7 series for his upcoming Nov. 22 clash with Chris Algieri in Macau.

All parties involved also had the sense to realize that—sometimes¬—there can be too much of a good thing. With that in mind, the executive decision was made by the network to condense its upcoming edition of the reality series into one 30-minute segment.
