Has it ever happened that the 24/7 has more action/drama than the actual fight?

    Self-explanatory.

    Only idiots don't understand the question.

    Mayweather-Marquez

    not too many 24/7 shows out there to choose from and most of them about ODLH, Mayweather, Pacquiao and their opponents. Would have loved RJJ on a 24/7 show.

    Most of the fights following 24/7 haven't been all that good. They either were one-sided fights, didn't have a whole lot of action, or both.

    Have you seen all the 24/7's? Have you seen all the fights accompanying the 24/7 series?

    I guess you missed Calzaghe/Jones 24/7.

    that one I missed. Would love to see documentaries of him and hopkins hyping up their rematch though. (cause I'm expecting the worst in the actual fight)

    I think some enjoy the drama on 24/7 more than what actually happen in the fight. I dont blame them though :yep

    The only fights I felt lived the expectations of 24/7 are Mayweather/Hatton and Pacquiao/Cotto. I suppose it was because it was competitive unlike the others. Whereas DLH/Mayweather had way too much expectations.

    ^ The Pac/Cotto fight was good no doubt, but the 24/7 to it was so ****ing boring. The worst one from the ones ive seen for sure

    Jones and Calzaghe had one, did you not see it. It was shown in Setanta in the UK, and I guess HBO in the states, they made it so I guess they showed it...

    Jones was quite good, the build up was during the election and Jones was pretty emotional about Obama winning, showed him visiting his old man too.

    Agreed about Jones and Hopkins that is bound to be better than the fight
