Tim Starks, Brad Cooney, Arum...

So two hardly reknowned writers, I'd like to see the quotes, because last I saw Starks said the promo for 24/7 failed to excite. But really those are 2 guys whose opinions I'd trust no more than an average poster on here. Well, at least neither is Dan Rafael.

As for Arum, yes he's a completely impartial & reliable source

Shit the bed, I half forgot how close this fight actually was. Woo hoo, getting excited now.

Diane, what's the score with Miguel saying he isn't a very good husband? has he been screwing around away from home?

Can't blame him to be fair, his missus is a bit on the fugly side. I'm pretty sure Miguel could have any women he wants in Puerto Rica but he's sadddled up with that for the rest of his days. Unlucky

Yeah, some time back he unfortunately cheated on his wife, and knocked someone up.

That's the one aspect of his life that I did not like, he was young, immature, and cheated on his wife.

But, he's grown since then, and is at least having the guts to publicly acknowledge that he wasn't a good husband, and is doing what he can to repair his relationship with his wife, and I have to give him credit for that.

And, love is more than just about looks.

For anyone that hasn't been able to see it yet, they have it posted on their website.

HBO: Boxing

Well it wasn't a bad one, maybe not my favorite but it was still interesting; Of course, after the third time I see PAcman in a 24/7 it is not exactly as fun and interesting as the first one but it,s kinda normal I think and to make it looks different, I understand why the producers of the 24/7 did focus a bit on the tsunami and on some other aspects of PAcman's life even though I think that the Tsunami thing was kind of an important part of his life at that moment.

Pacstraightleft,

bro what local channels where you watching? that clip was all over the news. abscbn took that footage they even interviewed one of the survivors. hbo just asked for the rights from abscbn.


nameless,

its wasnt a tsunami that hit philippines. it was a really weak storm with really weak winds. but within 6 hrs that storm let out rain water equivalent to a month of rain. twice more than hurricane katrina. so that flooded a huge part of metro manila.

You heard wrong one of the most boring 24/7 I have seen, I wish they would concentrate more about boxing on these shows, no disrespect to Cotto or Manny but there no Mayweather in terms on charisma and pure entertainment, when you have to quiet humble guys like these two they should concentrate more on the boxing aspect of it.


Seriously though worst episode I have seen for a long time.

I have to disagree with you on this one, and not because I'm a fan of Cotto's.

To be honest, I won't even watch the 24/7's with Mayweather in it, because I can't stand watching him acting like a complete tool. I don't find that entertaining, and that tells me nothing about him, other than he's a complete a$$shole, which I already knew.

Plus, this was just the first episode, did you really expect HBO to totally ignore the devastation surrounding Pac's training camp, or not touch on Cotto's issues over the last year? They have to tell the whole story, and I prefer to get to know two humble men, than get to know a spoiled, insecure, immature child.

I'm sure they'll focus more on the boxing in the following episodes, but they were doing what the series is supposed to accomplish, which is helping us fans get to know the fighters in the lives, by showing what they've been through in the past, and what they are doing now, that brings them to this point in their lives.

That, and to help promote the fight of course.

The episode was a good one. I prefer to get to know the circumstances surrounding the fighters which this episode was about, from the devastation of Manny's homeland to how Cotto has been able to rebound from his loss to Margarito. Much more preferable to Mayweather bragging about, "My shit is paid for and your's aint."

[zhubin]

Is it just me or does Cotto's training seem....blah. He just slowly hits the mitts and the bags...with some jump rope in between. Obviously, they arent showing everything...but the early clips show a slow pace. Plus, every time they show his trainer, i get a bit nervous. The guy is so young! Tactics will be huge in this fight...i just hope Cotto's trainer has the experience to have a great game plan.

Cotto never likes to give anything away when he's being filmed. If HBO manages to film him doing some heavy work, I'll actually be surprised, because he is usually so controlled in what he lets get out in to the public, and for his opponent to a peek at.

That's good to know. He looks intense as always...i love the guys game face.
