What does 24/7 need to make it better???

At the moment its HBO 24/7; except for what the fighters want to hide.

If the show is a training show they should start much earlier and give an overview of the training over a couple months.
If the show is a representative of the fighter's personalities, just do a single show and allow them to document their lives.
If the show is to sell tickets/PPV buys then show their highlights.
But imo this show is trying to cover all bases and failing really. I love the idea of following a fighter through his preparations, but hate when the go off on a tangent explaining the dear relationship between a fighter and his waterboy

Avoid the "overkill syndrome", where if it works for one fight, do it for all the others. If they ever stoop to doing a 24/7 with JCC Jr., I'm outta here.

Absolutely NOTHING. They are INCREDIBLY crafted pieces of documentary filmmaking. Honesty they could do one on a Sven Ottke vs. Bernard Hopkins fight and it would make people want to watch it. They are BRILLIANT.

What do you mean by better? More interesting, but for who? Hard core boxing fans or casual fans? I think they should target the casual fan. Do you think it lacks explanation about the sport? I do. I think making drama is what makes or breaks a shows interest. I've seen some Olympic sports athletes where they explain the competition and how scoring works, then get into they athlete's background highlighting the drama part of his struggle it to make it to the finals. But I think it was structured around cheering for the athlete to create patriotism. I think this format could work well for boxing.

They don't have to only do fight promotion. They could actually do some investivative stuff to expose boxings pitfalls. Safety issues, boxing commissions, weights, drugs and PEDS and how difficult is it for boxers from obscure countries to get a promoters and trainers to take them on. There is a whole interesting side of boxing that 24/7 could easily expose that would spark interest as well as help promote a better practice in the sport.

I would prefer they end the show with old fights from the fighters recent past. Or just show old fights after the show.

The key to a good 24/7 is to not have boring ass fighters like Cotto on there.

What does 24/7 need?... Decent fights to promote... That's what!

Quiet personality maybe, but he's one of the most exciting fighters and interesting trainers there is.

Because he has a bunch of fat fucking friends doesn't make watching him train exciting. He has the personality of a dead moth.
