24/7 vs Fight Camp 360.

In fairness 24/7 has only had one character in Floyd. The rest are quite people on it. If this was around years ago there would have been some great 24/7's.

 

Imagine Katsidis v Marquez 24/7 especially with Kats brother passing away during the training camp etc.

 

There both always good, but the last 24/7, pac-marg-ep2 was better than fightcap eps8.

FightCamp360 is the most part better.

 

just spent the afternoon watching the 360series although good 24/7 for me is better

 

latest 24/7 was good

 

24/7 is only good when you have a fighter with some personality, pac and margo are 2 very boring people which doesn't make for good viewing. the 30 minute countdown shows from before need to replace 24/7's for boring fighters and 24/7's should be there for fighters who make it good to watch like floyd, cotto and a couple of others.

fight camp 360 is decent because it has fight footage and follows them before and after the fight, as a concept it copies a bit of 24/7 but adds some other interesting things like the ring side reaction to the fight. HBO could probably use this and have an extra episode a week after the fight, but this will probably never happen because the 24/7 is solely there to sell the fight, wheras fight camp 360 is there to entertain and inform. therefore the chance of an extra 24/7 show is slim because it doesn't make financial sence.

 

360 is better, but the Supersixx was a failure.

24/7 is abit fake to me, its not raw and uncut.

 

I hate the way they always put everything in slow motion and play music all the time in 24/7. In the latest episode they had a sparring session between Pacquiao and Khan, and the footage was slowed down, while some background music was playing. They didn't need to do that ****. All they needed to do was to show the sparring footage as it was, unedited, with the actual sound, not music, and the narrator guy. They edit the **** out of it, and they're overdoing it now. 24/7 is just one big music video.

 

I agree that Fightcamp is the better production. It keeps it simple and maintains the emphasis on being a traditional fly-on-the wall documentary.

 

360's better, because it shows the afters from fights that you'd never normally see, trainer reaction, promoter reaction, managers meetings etc etc

 

who got 360 link? for last one?

 

360 by a mile. Forget the bull**** glitz and glamour of 24/7 with its ****iness...and gay voiceovers, it has little substance. 360 actually gives you some incredible insights we rarely get.

 

Fight camp seems alot more raw than 24/7 which seems to be getting more and more staged with every episode. Pacquiao's 24/7 follow the same pattern too much, Roach complaining that the camp isnt going well while the other fighters camps seem to be going perfectly. I think Fight Camp has a major advantage in the way that they dont need subtitles which allows you to to sit and watch instead of having to read what the fighters and every1 else is saying.

 

Fight camp by a mile for me

24/7 is too fake and seems like a PPV commercial without any substance

 

Fight Camp 360 for sure.

Even the cinematography is superior IMO, they use a really low depth of field often, gives it a great feel.

I loved the bit where Froch put Fat Mick on the spot:

Froch: "Helsinki, it's the only neutral venue they could find. Is that right MICK???"

fat mick: "gobble gobble, err yeah it is. gobble gobble is a busy time of yea. shame monaco wernt still available gobble gobble."
