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.
