    I just watched the All Access Mayweather Guerrero shows and they are much better than 24/7. This is a pretty easy fight to make this kind of show about, but it still seems higher quality than HBO's shows.

    Showtime did a better job on the 3rd episode but overall it lacks the professional editing and presentation that 24/7 has in my opinion but give them time; they will get better as they keep on making them.

    Showtime gives you more access before and after the fight.

    They're missing some editing polish but the content is very good so far.

    Lampley still shits on Shotime for fight recaps though.

    That's what makes it great, but 24/7 has it's own appeal as well. I like both but recently Showtime has been edging HBO out on everything.

    Have found the All Access episodes a bit boring because we have seen so much of Mayweather at this stage between all the 24/7 episodes and now this.

    The Fight Camp 360 series Showtime did was much better.

    The Trout/Cotto all access shows were great.
    (Made me a Trout fan & introduced him to a new market)

    Sorry, but All Access was pretty pathetic. It was just dull and boring. The HBO 24/7 has some great writing and narration. The narrator says some of the most philosophical things about boxing. Common was a crappy narrator.

    24/7 gets me far more pumped for a fight. They blatantly play for emotion, though.

    I really enjoyed 360, but All Access is a step below that. They seem to be improving, but I still prefer 24/7.

    The early episodes of 24/7 were my favorite boxing shows, now it's become too formulaic. All Access tries too hard to be like 24/7.

    This video released by GGG promotions is better than most of the stuff I've seen recently on Showtime and HBO.
