    It builds up the fight ... and depending on who's headlining ... it makes for great drama ... you guys can't say that you didn't think that DLH was going to KO Mayweather ... I know atleast a majority of fans wanted him to knock him out and tuned in just because.

    I think they can be quite interesting for us fans, and good for marketing the fight to a wider audience.

    As others have already mentioned though, it depends on the fighters involved. Calzaghe-Jones wasn't very good because Calzaghe is dull at best, plain obnoxious at worst, and Jones is a 40 year old man-child kidding himself that he is still the fighter he was in the 90's.

    Don't know everyone seems to dislike 'the world awaits', it wasn't a great fight, but it was an enjoyable and tactical boxing match.

    They really should do one on Wlad/Haye. Would generate a lot more interest among US viewers. Europeans are already psyched.

    depends on the fighters personality. David Haye and Mayweather for instance would make brilliant 24/7 because they act like twats the whole time.

    Amazing idea, keeps fans up to date with the fight as they wait for it to come. Best way to know about both fighters/camps and stay up to date with them.

    It wasn't a **** fight, especially by PBF's standards. There were a lot of flashy skills on display that night.
