Re: Do you think Hopkins-Calzaghe mandates a 24/7 show?

I think the USP of the show is that it portrays one fighter as a good guy and one a villain, that is what gets the casual viewer hooked and looking forward to the fight. my dad never saw hatton fight but was on the hatton bandwagon. with jones & trinidad there is no true villain & drama on the show, the show will just be about Jones singing praises about himself & trinidad singing the national anthem of puerto rico. with calzaghe-hopkins I think Hopkins has already signed himself on to play the villain with the 'White boy incident' and with 4 episodes bernard will make sure that he gets even the pope looking forward to the fight.
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
