The "Countdown To... Shows!"

Yea I agree...those shows always make me want to watch the fights even more.

 

Have to give to HBO - they do a pretty good job of promoting their fights.

It's not TV - it's HBO. #1 in the Boxing Network.

 

Agreed, the shows are awesome. I'm watching the Cotto vs. Mosley one tonight.

 

I love them so much it's not even funny. Actually, i watch replays of it too many times for my own good.

I think i've watched the Hopkins/Taylor Countdown about 20 times. And i'm being dead serious.

 

Who DOESN'T love these really? They are so great. Wish they did one for Calzaghe - Kessler. I think it would have been really interesting. At least they did the stories on them before the fight though.

 

i wont even lie. watching these shows get's me motivated to workout. if i'm not up to working out, i'll watch the countdown before i go to the gym.

 

I got a feeling that Hatton-Mayweather 24/7 is going to quite intersting. Both seem to have the gift for gab.

I feel Mayweather and his family was the only reason to watch the first 24/7

Oscar really did not contribute nothing

 

Yeah thse countdown shows are a great way to get fans hyped for the fight. I love them as well, the Cotto v Mosley one was good

 

th Cotto-Mosley one is quality, great premise, attention grabbing intro, good journalism (objective analysis showing Cotto's troubles, Mosley's losses and steroid problems), overall a great piece of work.

 

I really liked the Hopkins/Wright preview. It was a bit different from the other ones. I really liked some of the music in it.

 

SAME **** I WAS THINKING...it's like, if you never seen these 2 before, this show pretty much covered all you need to know about them.....

i love these shows too....especially after a big fight, it makes it even better to sit around and drink more and more and more and more...:yep

 

They're great, like mini-24/7s. It's great that HBO is doing these with all their big fights now, not just the mega PPVs like before.
