    I thought it was a good episode.....

    Here is what would have made it MUCh better:

    1) Not try to act as if Pacquiao was training since August by putting Cotto in Puerto Rico and Pacquiao in Philipines training when we all know that Pacquiao started training at the end of September.....:patsch

    2) I feel very bad for the people of the philipines, however 24/7 is about boxing... about the boxers....they spent way too much time on other issues versus boxing.


    Other than that, it was a different 24/7 in a sense that they really did a great job of introducing Miguel Cotto to main stream fans.

    I really like what his father said; "I knew a man with simple gloves couldnt have cause that much damage"

    I liked that Miguel and his crew are tight..... and the next episode, we will get to see the aftermath of Manny vs. Roach!

    I am pumped!

    Lots of hype in 24/7 to sell PPV.

    Boring 24/7, this fight won't even come close to outselling Floyd/Marquez if 24/7 doesn't improve.

    Never realised how much less entertaining 24/7 is w/o a Mayweather. The Hatton/Pac 24/7 was rly good mostly because of Floyd Sr n Roach.

    Cotto's extremely fat friend jumping off the high board into the pool was a crazy act.

    Pacquiao was talking with a politician. But I don't think much of it because we all know they already made it to Manila and they should be on their way to the U.S. soon.

    I also really want to see what and how JLC is doing as a sparring partner.

    Anyways, there wasn't much in the way for training footage from either camp, but I guess that's to be expected in the first episode of a 24/7 series.

    1st episode was more of a introduction they didnt say anythng about how pacquiao started training amonth after cotto and how much dat bothered roach but it did its job...and it doesnt matter if there wasnt a 24/7 for dis fight this fight would still sell and outsell any other fight this year

    The ending of the episode looks pretty bad for the Pacquiao camp. Pacquiao is trying to focus but circumstances aren't helping.

    Didn't Barrera have some camp problems the first time he fought Pacman? Could be deja vu next month.

    This first episode didn't show anything new. To the casual fans, maybe, but not to the regulars. I'm interested to see how both of them will do in the sparring sessions. Can't wait to see these next episodes.

    +1 all the little bull**** does more hurt than help.

    Either way I think Pac will give a good showing as always.

    I would love nothing more than to rip Michael Kuntz head off. Alex Ariza seems like a cool guy and has to be David Diaz's father.

    I thought the episode was interesting. Some knowledge on both camps. I didn't know Pac's camp was such a mess. As for Cotto its good to see that things are going well. I think they are making the fight seem very competitive, as they always do.

    To me it was just all the tabloids wrapped up in a voiceover.

    Pacquiao seems like a bit of an ******* now too.
