Thread: Roach gets own show on HBO

Freddy Roach will have his own show on HBO starting early 2012. It's going to focus on him at the gym training fighters from wild card gym as well as Pac, Khan, JCC jr, and the US olympic team. Should be interestin, usually we see the fighters life on 24/7 and fight camp.

O dam. I did not hear about that. sounds good. I don't know what I would do without HBO.

The interesting part about that show is that we might have a very nice insight about the American Olympian team, thing that ain't happening very often.

Maybe I'm off but um, sounds a bit loaded for GBP and the borderline monopoly called HBO? What ate they going to call it now...24-7-365

I don't see how this is for Golden Boy. Manny is with Top Rank, JCC jr is Top Rank, Khan is the only GB fighter. As far as i know Roach doesn't train any other GB fighters. This should be a good insight to the US olympic team, and some behind the scenes stuff we don't get to see on 24/7.

Definitely sounds like a clash of interests. Is HBO registered as a promoter? They should be.

Good to hear at least cross promotion but none the less it'll just be a mega vehicle to further HBOs choke hold. Hey all power to them, if you have it flaunt it but they-we can help Olympic program to begin with by making sure we don't have to sit up till 3 am in the morning just to see it. A dedicated prime time slot and following progress of Ama. would be outstanding , just think it's a bit of smoke n mirrors to push upcoming signed interests. They've seen massive success with 24-7 no doubt.

I'm not trying to spit on any insight to big names and behind the scenes. Olympic program needs all the help it can get!
