A 24/7 for Pac Hatton?

[Kev]

Bilbo's just a wet blanket in regards to the 24/7... I admit though that I don't see a point in there being any more than 1 episode... Like I said, I only ever download one of each.. They try to make it into a drama series which just isn't the case.. The are professional athletes, and if they took the best from the 4 eps and put it into one episode, with some good highlights of each fighter, then it would be much better... I never saw the countdown show so if that is like what I said, put all the drama and action into one 40 minute thing, then I think that's a better idea...

Well that's my whole point though Diz, the original Countdown To show is better in 90 percent of cases.

A good 40 minute show packed with the best drama rather than 3 or 4 dragged out tedious docs with dull personalities.

The voice over guy was superb for the first couple series of 24/7 but now his voice is just drearily predictable like the Big Brother guy we have in the UK.

It needs a layoff before the formulae becomes tired.

I miss the old Countdown show, that was ample entertainment for me.

Going behind the scenes is only special when it's unique. When we see it for every fight it just becomes mundane.

The problem is compounded when it features the same fighters over and over. If they do a 24/7 for Hatton Pacquaio that will mean in five series so far we've met only 6 boxers.

If Vitali Haye fight on HBO at least we'd have a different weight class and two totally new and contrasting personalities.

I'm a huge fan of 24/7! I think it hypes me up week per week! Not only that, but in a mainstream aspect, a lot more people are exposed to boxing. People that I never thought who were into boxing would catch one of the episodes and be like "oh wow, I wanna see the fight now."

The Countdown show is amazing as well, but I feel like there's more highlights and training to show. The one episode is just not enough for me.

24/7 is used to make the fight look more evenly matched than it really is. Floyd/Ricky was made to make Hatton look more dangerous than he really was. Calzaghe/Jones made me believe Roy had a shot at winning. De La Hoya/Pacquiao made Manny seem like such a challenge to Oscar so the fight would look more 50-50 (THAT SOOOO BACKFIRED). But you get my point.

In summation, 24/7, I like!!

24/7 is the bomb!

24/7 plays with your head but its a good series

24/7 is not good when everybody knows Hatton is going to get his ass handed to him.

You know what Hatton/Pacquiao and Klitschko/Haye have in common?


TONS of folks think both fights will be competitive.


The 24/7's, if they are made, will be much better viewing than either fight.


I do NOT know where all this faith in David Haye comes from. I know who he is. Ive seen him fight. Wtf? Are you all longing so badly for a savior that you'll latch on to the first young hard hitting prospect you can find? THIS FIGHT WILL NOT BE COMPETETIVE.


Ricky Hatton. HUGE FAN. Love me some Ricky and I love watching and listening to him outside the ring. But against Manny?!? THIS TOO WILL NOT BE COMPETETIVE.



Im very confused at the direction boxing fans' minds are taking them.




Vitali Klitschko completely poleaxes David Haye inside 6. Haye will get you ooh'ing and aaaah'ing in the first 2 because he's fast. HE CANNOT HURT VITALI. Who can?

Vitali by vicious KO in 6.



Ricky Hatton looked awesome against Paulie Malignaggi, but who the F is Paulie Malignaggi?? Hit ENTIRE selling point is that he went the distance with Cotto without getting decimated. Ricky spanked him thoroughly but still got caught with silly shots. NO F'N WAY Ricky doesn't pay dearly for his slop against Manny.


Manny Pacquiao by brutal KO inside 7.





Be patient fellow fisticuff fans. Our saviors will come, but we mustn't force it; we have to stop making diamonds out of dogsh*t. It's more a reflection of the current state of boxing that some of these matchups are "intriguing."
