    Who else misses those HBO 24/7’s?

    Man I used to love those 24/7’s HBO used to hype big fights.

    It made me care more about the fighters hearing their stories and watching them train.

    The UFC still does something similar but the boxing ones were more enjoyable to me for some reason.

    I miss them.

    But after watching GGG vs Canelo's 24/7, I realized how boring these guys are compared to fighters from a few years ago.

    Makes me miss Pac, Floyd, Cotto, Hatton, etc. Those guys had more personality and better stories to tell, even Cotto was more interesting than Canelo and Golovkin.

      Yeah my favorite one was Mayweather vs Hatton.

      Man that was a long time ago, I was still a kid.

          I miss them too. Great watching the build up before fights. Shame what HBO boxing has come to these days.

          Showtime is killing them this year but even they aren’t putting out their All Access build up shows. They might release a 7 minute YouTube video but it’s not the same as those half hour shows that aired on tv and we actually waited to come out.

                    HBO has seriously fallen off. It's like they're trying to get away from boxing...
