    They have shown things that boxing fans don't care about Floyds body guards and Rogers diabetes and Floyd seniors illness. and they have a shot of Floyd on the couch wearing the same clothes in all three parts!:huh

    not only boxing fans watch HBO's 24/7, boxing fans dont need 24/7, they are already ordering the fight, its the people who arent boxing fanatics they are aiming for dude

    Its really for the casual fans...

    It's not for hardcore fans.

    People who frequent a boxing forum EVERY DAY don't need to be convinced to buy this.

    Yeah man I don't really like it too much either but HBO is kinda crap nowadays, most entertaining part to me was Nazim talkin about how Floyd turnin into a dragon n Shane steppin on his tale to wack him in the stomach :lol:

    It's a bit less epic than we have seen. The end of Mayweather Marquez and Pacquiao Cotto episodes really resonated with their music sequences and footage edits, but we have yet to see a truly epic sequence of scenes that convey the drama of this fight in the context of the sport and both of their lives. Maybe in the last one they'll rev up the intensity.

    I have been very dissapointed with this 24-7. Its pretty boring. Hopefully it gets stepped up in the last episode. The problem is they are doing it too often now so its becoming a bit repetitive.

    The Mayweather Vs De La Hoya 24-7 was the ulitmate.

    Here we go with people critiquing 24/7 again...instead of complaining about the shows, give an explanation of what they SHOULD have shown that would have sparked your interest.

    If 24/7 gets an Emmy over Fight Camp 360°, it'll be because of HBO's general popularity over Showtime.

    IMO, they should've focused on the training regimens, diets, & general daily/weekly schedules of both boxers. For the casual fans, I think they should've devoted a lot more time to recapping the history of ducking allegations & career progression mirroring between Money & Sugar. For example, they could've addressed Shane moving up in weight divisions before Floyd moved up to clean up.

    They could also have gone into the evolution of "Pretty Boy" into "Money".

    ANY of those would have been better than seeing 8 weightlifters stand around looking tough, or Floyd sniffing cash, or Mosley & crew eating dinner followed by reading scripture.

    Come the **** on...

    they made these episodes stale in anticipation that floyd beats shane

    and they can have a full fledged 24-7 for floyd & pac

    This 24/7 has been boring as hell. I blame HBO and it's editors.

    I recently saw an interview which had floyd talking about what he would have liked to have put in the show, but he says he doesn't have the power to say what goes in and what don't. Apparently there a lot of behind the scenes stuff that they dont show which would make interesting TV.

    This is some behind the scenes footage.
