        Doesn't HBO make the promoter pay for 24/7 production expenses?

        Arum probably knows this fight is doing 400k-600k buys with or without 24/7. Why spend extra money if its only going to cut into his profits is probably his thinking.

            Well HBO is the one that is airing the episodes so I think HBO pays for the budget. And they seem to not care for this fight

                Because there's nothing left else to show that they haven't in the first two match up lol. Atlas is a good addition but they can't base the whole 24/7 on him only that **** would be boring as hell.

                  HBO is broke first and foremost.

                  And Pacquiao's story is so old and boring. He has 50 Filipino people following him around watching his every move and kissing his butt. He has a dog. Freddie Roach this, blah blah. Same old story.

                  They should just do a "Road to" episode primarily featuring Bradley and his new trainer, Teddy. Makes for a great story.

                    A Road episode with Bradley and Atlas would be the only good idea, that is true. But the fact they aren't doing anything really shows you the disinterest.

                      I'm not dis*****g that it won't do well in PPV's. There is really no way to sell this fight. We've seen it twice before. We saw really Bradly lose twice and wasn't competitive. Having a 24/7 won't help sell this fight. This fight it what it is.
