I wonder what it's going to be about....Dirrell's departure? The Road Warrior's entrance? Ward's preperation? King Arthur and The Cobra?
Its a great show, never though it would give 24/7 a run for their money, but once again Showtime shows that they are as good.
I don't know about you but i think it is on another level to 24/7 because it appeals to the hardcore boxing fan. Showtime were very clever in that aspect. That narrator on 24/7 just sounds so cliche now... Just recites irrelevant quotations as if it's extremely artistic. Showtime catches the fighters real emotions and what they are actually going through in their camps, pre fight and post fight. It even gives you insight into the promotion side of the business.
That's very misleading. One show covers about 4-6 months and involves many fighters and different fights. And they have to put all that into a 30 to 45 minute show. They have a ton of time to edit this stuff and many topics to choose from. HBO, on the other hand, has a much shorter time constraint and have to dedicate pretty much 2 hours of footage (4 shows) within 3 weeks. The final 24/7 show is edited within hours of broadcast. Showtime doesn't have that time constraint. I love the Showtime show also but i'm just pointing out some of the differences.
Your right... but you can't deny that HBO are catering to the masses where as showtime are going for more hardcore fight fans
I think you're both right. But isn't the main purpose of 24/7 to entice the casual fan into buying a PPV fight - whereas Showtime can afford to appeal to a less broad audience because the fights aren't PPV. If you subscribe to showtime you can either watch the fight or opt out of it. I could be wrong as I live in the UK where we don't get either channel, a nightmare for fight fans.
24/7 is such monotonous crap. Fight Camp is the best boxing show I have ever seen. Hopefully they spend the whole time on the Froch/AA camps, b/c that fight, and the winner fighting Ward is the only thing that matters in that mess of a tournament now.
