Fight camp 360 is kicking 24/7's ass at the moment!

    You're a *****, but I do agree with you. For pleasing hardcore fans, yes 24/7 is inferior to 360

    Fight camp is different though, as it includes fights and other coming up bouts.

    24/7 has too much bull**** designed for drawing in casual fans who dont know much about who is fighting. It waste's too much time with crap other than fighting and training

    Agreed. To be honest, with 24/7 it's the same old ****. The regular family background buildup with the 1,2 clips of training and repeat whereas 360 just brings all that and more from a different angle.

    in 24/7 they use an entire episode to focus on one thing (i.e family, culture etc) while 360 shows everything.

    I agree its better viewing but VecArrow is right. It has huge advantages in the fact theres 6/7 fighters involved, and they show before and after fights.

    Remember a series of 24/7 is 2 hours long, fightcamp just 30 minutes.

    I do think there should be an episode of 24/7 after the fight.

    The last 24/7 that could carry 360's jockstrap was Mayweather-Hatton. Ever since it's mediocre (Calzaghe-Jones), simply boring (Pac-Cotto) or recycled (PBF-JMM & Mosley). As sad as it may sound, the 24/7 concept had 2 shows in it, people would rather watch an unscripted true behind the scenes documentary than a scripted Hollywood style drama.

    I agree they are marketing 24/7 to the casual fan to rake in PPV buys

    Fight Camp 360 is for the hardcore knowledgeable Boxing fan

    I like both but Showtime has really stepped it up with this.

    Tbf showtime have more to play with...the 6 fighters, promoters, fights to review etc. If HBO had those ingredients they too would've done a sterling job. 24/7 is just a 30 mins promo for one fight and not part of a whole series or grand picture.
