Not that I know of. Which is lame, because not a lot of people know Diaz story, he's got a very interesting, intruiging underdog cinderella man type story. AND HE'S The Beltholder!!!
No countdown? Instersting... Cotto's got zero charisma and Margarito doesn't speak english and they are getting a countdown while both Pac and Diaz as charismatic fighter, Diaz' background is very interesting and both speak english... and still no countdown show... well... not that PacMan need advertisement, but at least Diaz' personal life is pretty interesting contrary to Cotto's (who is a terrific boxer in the ring). Oh well... at least this time the countdown show won't be better than the fight itself.

This is a letdown for HBO. Why not make one for this fight??? Pac's the #1 P4P and the most exciting fighter. Diaz the Cinderella story. New weight class for Pac, The fight has Historical importance. I remember HBO makes one for PBF vs Baldomir. They even Played for 2 weeks. Diaz has more intersting story and he speaks English and he's a well spoken likeable guy. Baldomir beat Zab. Diaz beat Zab twice in the amateur. Diaz definetely the more Credible guy than Baldo. Why HBO??? Pac makes you Money. It's only a little investment.
