    Default What does 24/7 need to make it better???

    I just posted what I thought would make it better in another thread... I'll paste it in here when I get a minute,,, but I think a lot of people agree this series is getting boring.. Especially when you are seeing the same thing from the same fighters over and over...

    What do you think they could add to it or what aspects they could change to make it better,,,, and better for hyping and gathering excitement towards the main event..


    Often i've read a post from someone like "I just watched 24/7 episode 1, I can't f'n wait for this fight!!!!"... But really the 24/7 just showed 25 mins of the fighters doing nothing... It's really the persons existing respect for both the fighters that is making them excited about the fight... I think 24/7 only really does a sole thing, and that's keep reminding you of the fight once a week..

    It could, and should, do much more than that!

    More sparring highlights. And more cooking stuff. I wanna see more of what they eat, their diet recipe.

    Totally agree Diz, they just bore me frankly.

    I said right from the very beginning that they should be reserved only for the superfights, and that for me would mean Mayweather Oscar, maybe Pacquaio Oscar and well that's about it so far.

    I would love to see the old Countdown show brought back which instead of 4 episodes of training and pre fight speech would instead be one focused episode looking at the respective fighter's careers, including highlights of their last fights, assesment's of where they are now etc etc.

    24/7 is just too formulaic and dull now. Same voice over man doing the same old voice overs for every show. It's like this show could just be assembled by a computer programmed to do cut and pastes.

    The best way to make it better would be to just scrap it, and bring it back ONLY for the biggest fights, of which, to my mind there are only two. Mayweather Pacquiao and Wlad vs Haye.

    They are the only shows that would be interesting enough to merit 4 episodes, and I don't even know if HBO would show a Wlad vs Haye card.

    I think the UFC Countdown shows are better, focusing on not just the one fight, but also the other fights on the card too.

    Ditch 24/7 it's run its course. Now his voice is as recognisable as the guy from the British Big Brother or National Lottery shows.

    He grates me.

    They are probably boring because of the subject matter. If you are going to base a show around Manny Pacquiao out of the ring, prepare to be bored!

    One solution. Do one with Mayorga!

    It needs more competative fights.

    Cant think of any 24/7s where we didnt all know the result before it happend.
