Totally agree Diz, they just bore me frankly.
I said right from the very beginning that they should be reserved only for the superfights, and that for me would mean Mayweather Oscar, maybe Pacquaio Oscar and well that's about it so far.
I would love to see the old Countdown show brought back which instead of 4 episodes of training and pre fight speech would instead be one focused episode looking at the respective fighter's careers, including highlights of their last fights, assesment's of where they are now etc etc.
24/7 is just too formulaic and dull now. Same voice over man doing the same old voice overs for every show. It's like this show could just be assembled by a computer programmed to do cut and pastes.
The best way to make it better would be to just scrap it, and bring it back ONLY for the biggest fights, of which, to my mind there are only two. Mayweather Pacquiao and Wlad vs Haye.
They are the only shows that would be interesting enough to merit 4 episodes, and I don't even know if HBO would show a Wlad vs Haye card.
I think the UFC Countdown shows are better, focusing on not just the one fight, but also the other fights on the card too.
Ditch 24/7 it's run its course. Now his voice is as recognisable as the guy from the British Big Brother or National Lottery shows.
He grates me.
