    Does anyone doubt this?

    Great fighters but vanilla personalities. HBO's gonna have to try really hard to make it interesting.

    Hate him or love him, at least PBF makes it entertaining.

    I hope i'm pleasantly surprised but it could get boring at times.

    I've been bored with the 24/7 series for some time now. You got the same fighters over and over so you get the same things being said about them. Floyd has beef with his dad, he likes to spend a lot of money, etc etc etc. you combine the same recycled content on each fighter with some cheesy metaphors about how boxing is like chess or how the ring is the lonliest place on earth and show some training clips and boom you got yourself a 24/7 series.

    What's HBO gonna do to spicen up the Pacman camp?

    Maybe go further into his acting career and show some of the funny stuff he's done? They've got to do something because that guy is such a decent and humble human being.

    Don't act like you wouldn't check it.

    Maybe they can dig up his illegitimate kid and have the woman he had an affair in the gym while Jinkee is there so we can fitness some cat fights? Or at the very least some interesting lines being spewed in Tagalog :happy
