    Ok, so as its not a PPV fight, i doubt HBO will bother spending the money on a 24/7 series for the fight. But personally i think it would be highly entertaining.

    thoughts ??

    It would be fun, but I don't think they'll be doing one. Like you pointed out, they only do it for PPV's (well really there's only been 2 of them and both included PBF). Most of the time they don't even do a countdown show unless it's a PPV (Pavlik/Taylor I is the only non-PPV I can think of that had a 1/2 hour count down show).

    I bet they will do a Countdown Show but not a 24/7

    I doubt it, especially since the fight will not be on PPV.

    I don't think they will but they should. Bernard the ''evil'' trash talking ghetto guy and Joe the good looking ''good'' guy with a great story ( Bernard has a great story also ). I think it would be highly entertaining.

    You've got it backwards. Nard is the good guy American champion. Calzaghe is the evil Euro challenger.:good

    24/7 would be so entertaining but they probably won't do it. I love to hear Hopkins talk and i want to know more about Calzaghe.

    hello world!!!!!

    where as I enjoy the insite that 24/7 offers I doubt that seeing hopkins every sunday for 6 weeks would inspire more people to tune in. However I believe calzaghe a 10 yr champ is not known to the boxing public and the tv time would show us who this champion is

    Great Taras Bulba avatar! It simply doesn't get any better than Yul!
    I hope they do a 24/7 so we can see a bit of personal history of each fighter. I enjoy seeing their hometown abodes and how they grew up! It's great stuff.

    Yes, it would be great

    Or failing that we could simply have a Joe Calzaghe feature, to educate all his stateside fans

    It would be a great way for americans to see who Calzaghe really is and give him the exposure he deserves.

    Your avatar is odd. Is the cat close to the picture supposed to be pissed off because his girl is cheating on him? WTF? :lol:

    Hope they do it. Setanta preview shows in the UK are not as good as skys coverage though. Last two have been on sky and given the big build up.
