Showtime to air a similar 24/7 for the super six!!
FIGHT CAMP 360°
SHOWTIME Sports, in conjunction with NFL Films, is producing a new reality series that will give fight fans unprecedented access into the lives of the participants in the Super Six World Boxing Classic. Dubbed FIGHT CAMP 360°: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic, the series will focus a powerful spotlight on the groundbreaking tournament from the kickoff press conference in July 2009 through the Final tournament bout slated for 2011. The series premieres on Saturday, Oct. 10 on SHOWTIME® (10:30 p.m. ET/PT).
The tournament format, created by SHOWTIME Sports in association with five world-class boxing promoters, is a unique concept to boxing and one that has been lauded by industry experts and the sports media since its announcement. Likewise, FIGHT CAMP 360°: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic is unlike any other reality program in boxing.
There will be six episodes following the fighters not just in training camp, but during the intense moments leading up to their respective fights, in their corners during each bout and in the aftermath of every win, loss, or draw as the fighters recede from the limelight and begin to prepare for their next bout.
“The round-robin nature of this tournament lends itself to a story arc and fight progression that has never before been seen in boxing,” said SHOWTIME Sports General Manager Ken Hershman. “This series will set itself apart by chronicling each man through that progression. No one knows where each story will lead, but our cameras will be there every step of the way.”
“Add in NFL Films breadth of experience and its trademark storytelling ability, and this series becomes exponentially more unique and compelling.” said Hershman.
The debut episode of FIGHT CAMP 360°: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic will also take viewers behind the intrigue and the politics to reveal how the unprecedented boxing tournament came together.
The series is voice by Bill St. James with music by NFL Films award-winning composure David Robidoux.
On Saturday, Oct. 17, the Super Six World Boxing Classic kicks off with Group Stage 1 bouts between Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor and Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell (SHOWTIME, 8 p.m. ET/PT). Group Stage 1 continues on Saturday, Nov. 21 with Mikkel Kessler vs. Andre Ward.

WHOA!
That's AWESOME to have the production power of NFL Films behind this, they do everything perfect much like HBO.
Re: Showtime to air a similar 24/7 for the super six!!
Nice! I guess I'll youtube the shows when they become available. HBO is the pinnacle of boxing documentaries, but let's see what ShowTime can do.

You don't have to wait for YouTube.
For those that don't get Showtime, or if you get Showtime, but don't want to wait till Saturday to see it, you can just go here and watch it now.

You're welcome. Hopefully they will keep putting them on their website, so that I can keep posting them for you.
I watched this yesterday, and I thought it was well done. I liked seeing what was going on during the discussions, although I'm sure there was a lot more heated talks going on than what they showed us. That's the stuff I really would have liked to have seen.
I wonder if they are going to change the fact that Andre Ward has all his fights in the States. The Showtime guy was not too happy with Andre for announcing that after his fight.
I wonder who the leak was? :dontknow:

Re: Showtime to air a similar 24/7 for the super six!!
Great show and a good taster for the fights. Interesting to see how the promoters get on over the coming months - gonna be some fireworks there.;D
Re: Showtime to air a similar 24/7 for the super six!!
The way I understand it Kessler is going to fight here in the fall on Andre's home turf and then he's fighting Taylor in the south in Taylor's home territory. He was tentatively scheduled to face Dirrell next fall (I don't know where) but Dirrell's people didn't want to commit to 3 fights without seeing how the first 2 go. So it's not like he's fighting 2 fights at home, Taylor is just as big of a name in the south (or at least was) as Ward is here in the Bay.
Re: Showtime to air a similar 24/7 for the super six!!
Yes. Why does a German promoter have a southern English accent? Did he go to school in England?
Re: Showtime to air a similar 24/7 for the super six!!
The most interesting thing on the show -- when the promoters were horse trading over matchups/home advantage etc. and Jermain Taylor's promoter being told by Taylor (or his manager if he has one) to "maximise the money" in his first fight. I think Taylor knows he's on the slide and he's just making as much as he can, don't believe all the stuff about him not training right for previous fights either. He's got a stamina problem and it's only going to get worse.

Totally agree mate, saying he didnt train for Froch is a load of bollocks, Alan Green said Taylor trained his arse off in camp prior to the Froch fight.
Mick Hennesey's amazing personality I thought came across very well in that video :rolleyes:.
