24/7, they should retire it imo.

This show has been churned out so often now it's becoming tired and boring, it just feels like a extended advertisement rather than a great show. It's so formulaic, with the same guy doing the same voice overs, in exactly the same way, only with less and less interesting fighters.


This show worked when it started for two reasons, Floyd Mayweather JR and Uncle Roger. Love them or hate them they made for compelling viewing and the shows were interesting.

The Calzaghe Jones and so far the Oscar Manny shows are just so tedious I've forgotten them already. I can't think of a single memorable moment in any of them.

The problem is that the fight's they have been covering recently arn't compelling, they don't really mean anything and none of the fighters are remotely interesting.

I mean I love Joe inside the ring but outside of it's he's hardly an entertainer.

Manny just doesn't talk and I find Oscar so drearily dull I can feel my brain trying to escape my head when he talks.

I mean is anyone in the whole world even remotely interested in anything Oscar has to say? I don't give a fuck about his training methods, I don't care at all about his legacy and I couldn't care less about what his thoughts are in the run up to this fight.

Manny in the first episode I don't think even said a word to the camera, it was left to Freddie Roach to talk for him, and seriously just like Oscar havn't we heard Freddie enough?

I just hope that after this fight they will give it a rest.

The ONLY shows worth watching are those involving the Mayweathers and that's because all the other fighters have as much charisma as an airport lounge chair.

We no longer need to be taken behind the scenes and given a backroom pass to the training camps, as we've now seen it all before, with the same guy giving the same monotomous voiceover dialoge, it just doesn't grip me the way it used to.:-\

All I hear you nowadays Bilbo is moaning your fucking ass off.

Your sounding like a lonely old man.

Exactly those shows were memorable, as was the one where he fought Oscar.

Things like stealing Oscar's bag and presenting with that chicken at the press conference were hilarious, especially when he stared it down.

And Uncle Roger and his hilarious rants, they were awesome.

Damn I wish Floyd would come back :(

LOL i remember that i LMAO. but the fight suked though.

but when he was gonna fight Hatton i knew i would be good especially the 24/7. now if Cotto wins a rematch with Margarito and he fights PBF that would be HUGE especially since thats been a fight alot of people been wanting for so long.

I like the 24/7 series. To get more casual fans involved in boxing it is important for people new to the sport to get to know the boxers themselves. Plus I love seeing the training techniques.

I like the idea of 24/7, I just hate it when a guy like PBF is on there or even De la Hoya. PBF is a prick and Oscar just seems like he's acting.

They shouldn't do 24/7 in the format they have been doing it here's what they should do instead of just hyping up one fight.

1. Have a forum of boxing analists/boxers/trainers/promoters and even celebrities who like boxing.

2. Discuss ALL upcoming boxing matches even those (dare I say) on other networks

3. Discuss fighters/trainers on the rise, fighters/trainers on the fall, fights that should be made, fights that are being made, and other issues in boxing, rules, belts, etc....plenty to discuss.


IMO they should do a show like ESPN's The Sports Reporters only dedicated just to boxing....it'll never happen but a guy can dream can't he

Can you imagine Max Kellerman/Jim Lampley moderating a show with guests like: Manny Steward, Freddy Roach, Bert Sugar, Larry Merchant, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Ray Leonard, Joe Frazier, Don King, Wlad, Vitali, Haye, etc etc etc. all talking about the upcoming events and pertanent issues in boxing it would be great for us.

I think it would be fun to watch...but as I said it'll never happen

man just deal with it !! it's not like we have allot of boxing shows on t.v...... i look forward to it.... and also watch the re-run's >>>.

Like Inside the NFL, but with boxing?! That'd be cool!!!!

I'd watch! or at least YouTube it.

I love 24/7. It gradually hypes me up for fights I'm excited to see more each week.

The theme song is sick!

I think this dude registered JUST to give you one Bilbo.. :)

That's one way to get all the guests that come here to sign up.. Have Biblo say things that annoy them enough that they are compelled to register and give him a piece of their mind.

there have only been a few 24/7s and I love this one.

The only boring one was jones vs calzaghe...that is probably what cause a bad taste and bias in your mind...dont lump the pacman vs oscar with that.
