    I didn't see any other threads about this but I notice the pacquiao camp doesn't seem to have their **** together.

    I feel there are a few possible explanations for this

    1. Things are really this messed up (but if they were, would his camp even let HBO televise it?)
    2. Things are kinda messed up but HBO exaggerates that **** to get more attention and talk about the fight
    3. nothing is wrong and HBO (and/or the pacquiao camp) is fabricating this **** to attract our desperate-housewife minded society.

    It seems that the second installment focused a lot more on pacman than cotto (is that because its where the drama is?) and even seemed like they were trying to make stuff at Cottos camp look more dramatic and less down-to-business (which it clearly is)

    I don't know about you but when I watch the series I want to see the fightgers hitting the bag, the mits, sparring, running, outlining their routine, talking about the upcoming fight, talking about their mental state. Not a bunch of bull**** hype about the strength coach not liking the 'advisor'.

    Anyone on the same page or am I just wierd?

    Roach was grumbling about Pac's lackadaisical approach to this fight well before 24/7 came alone, so I'd say it's a case of option 2 -- where HBO has taken a small, albeit legitimate current of discord and blown it up to make for predictable reality-tv drama.

    Pac is busy with talk shows and pool tournaments while Cotto prepares to teach him he's not a welterweight:bananamaniac
