I enjoyed this episode very much. I think the display of both the Filipino and Puerto Rican cultures were a breath of fresh are to the 24/7 series. The soundtrack was awesome. I think I heard the song "El Cantante" and also a song played during the pool hall scene in "Carlito's Way." Sick! The Filipinos are a strong people and I pray for there road to recovery. Crazy how the group of folks were surfing down a river on a pile of banana leaves. The turmoil in Pac camp: usual Pac camp drama. Definitely concerned about Cotto's young trainer but Cotto's been training himself for awhile so I think he'll be ok. Also thought the Castillo segment was cool.

I was kinda shocked and amazed when I saw that clip. I have been watching/monitoring those 3 major typhoons on PhilTV news. But they didn't get to capture that footage. Brilliant job by HBO crew.

I got the feeling that 24/7 is turning out to be like MTV's Real World. A little early to tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I hope the 2nd episode is better than the 1st one. I hope they show more sparring.

Some people seem to have mixed feelings about 24/7 showing the boxers' lives but that is what 24/7 is all about, right? We'll see the fight in a few weeks anyways but 24/7 presents us with a bit more about how they live, a basic insight on their training, and so on. We didn't have 24/7 before and no other show presented the boxers to us the way 24/7 does and hyped the fight so it's all good for me .

Aaaaaanyways, I just saw it today on my iPod (free HBO podcasts from iTunes) and I think Pac's camp picking Jose Luis Castillo for a sparring partner was a good choice. He has some similarities to Cotto: speed, body attack, movements, etc.

episode 1 has a bad image of pacquiao.... and to top it off.. those mutha effin politicians keep disturbing him.. those popularity hungry people... anyway... cant wait for the fight to happen.. gotta be great. both are game and willing to risk.. so its gonna be great.


btw.. when i saw that clip of cotto coming out the pool i knew diane would make it her sig vid..

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.

Thanks for the precisions but indeed, the results are catastrophic and include way too much water. I hope peoples from over here will recover as best as they can.

TFC and PinoyTV bro (not local).

Summer is getting hotter, the winter is getting colder. All these Hurricanes, floodings, abnormal volcanic activities, I'm afraid to say that we're experiencing the effect of global warming. I thought Al Gore was full of shit.

Well sorry guys, I'm now going to have 2 gifs as my sigi's, that you won't enjoy seeing.

I told Danny, that when he watches the show, that I won't even have to tell him what shot I want.

And like I said, I would be very surprised if HBO pulls off getting footage of Cotto sparring. I knew Miguel wouldn't allow them to get much.

I do feel bad for Miguel Sr, you can tell he's really upset about his family being torn apart, and how much he hates that he had to chose between his son and his brother.

God, I can't believe the fight is only two weeks away.

I've finally seen what Roach have been talking about, about Pac's crappy sparring in Manila. That was a week ago, I hope Team Pac already corrected those flaws. Great job by Shawn Porter btw.

Yeah, Porter was doing well against him in sparring.

I like Porter, he lives two towns over from me, so I like seeing a local boy getting some good opportunities.
