    It comes across like a cheap version of HBOs Faceoff but it wouldve increased the anticipation for the fight, especially if CBS wouldve aired it during a halftime of the final four games.

    They aren't all that enjoyable, honestly. Like the Haye/Wlad one was just boring. Wlad looked like a ****ing robot. Manny and Pac seemed to like each other more than anything in their face off. The best one, though was the Cotto/Margarito one because of the history behind the two fighters. They are putting too many fighters in the face-off. Manny/Bradley one was boring as hell too.

    They should just leave those for fighters with real animosity towards each other like Cotto and Margarito seemed to have. I know damn well that Morales and Barrera face off would've been ****ing gold. Those two ****ing hated each other, legitimately.

    CBS giving Floyd an interview during the Final Four was probably as far as they were going to go. But, between that and the multiple promos that was huge publicity.

    I wish they did more to promote the All Access and had a Staredown. They seem to have marketed more to casual fans than hardcore. We'll see how that works out.

    Neither of them are great talkers, might of been for the best that they didn't do one.

    This one is my favourite

    I though this too,I really enjoyed Faceoff and even the knockoff for Ward/Froch on showtime was entertaining.

    Definitely, I would have been interested to hear them talk and respond to each other in a conversational contest.
