    Despite the fight not taking place on US soil and being aired, live, on prime-time US television.....do you think HBO will make a 24/7 for this? I think it'll be a crime not too. If they make bull**** ones for Jones-Calzaghe, then surely they should make one for the most significant heavyweight fight since Lewis-Vitali.

    I think it would be the best one since Mayweather-Hatton.

    I don't think they'll make one, but it would be good for Wlad's image in America I believe. His personality, forced or not, has come out in recent years...has kinda of been entertaining. Would be a very good 24/7 of back and forth insults.

    Wlad, as well as his brother, is a pretty funny guy. And I just thought not only would it be entertaining, but it'll be interesting to see what both camps are like. Being two characters that have never featured on the show, I thought they'd bring some much needed freshness that HBO 24-7 has been lacking in recent series.

    No, I just dont believe it either man...

    Americans does not like Klitschkos kind of guys...

    It is hard to explain.. Klits doesnt raise any feeling on Americans, neutral..
    They dont do thing for making American audience to hate them to give reason watching them and hoping/seeing Brother gettin KTFO. It is also Hard for American to identify on brothers the gap between Klits and Americans are too big.

    It is just how the things really are. Lets be honest, Americans will never really accept Brothers as how they are now.

    They bloody should. Its the 2nd biggest fight that can be made and will establish a HW King. Haye will be very entertaining and Wlad will come off as very likeable, both speak English well.

    HBO would be stupid not to promote these fighters and it would be a chance to get people interested in Wlad.

    Then again, HBO is not too interested in Klitschko.

    It would definitely freshen the format up. There is only so many Mayweather, Pacquiao, etc 24/7's you can make. The reason for 24/7 is to see what they get up to in training, and a small look at what they get up to outside the ring. But once you have seen one, maybe two surrounding one particular boxer, you have seen them all.

    I doubt that. It cost a lot of money to produce a 24/7 series and they want to get a return on their investment which I imagine would have to come through PPV. In my observation for it to be that type of PPV there has to be at least one name that's going to sell, and neither of those guys fit that role. I could maybe see them doing a 30 minute show the week before as they've done in the past but I would be surprised if a 24/7 was made.
