    They had Countdown-esque shows for Leonard/Hagler, Lewis/Tyson, Vargas/De La Hoya, etc. But the actual series "HBO Countdown to..." started around 2005.

    It's either Mayweather-Gatti or Trinidad-Wright. I remember seeing a Trinidad-Wright special, but I'm not sure if it was done by HBO or someone else.

    The first one that I remember watching was DLH vs trinidad. They didn't do them all that often until really recently. I am guessing we will start seeing more and more 24/7 shows eventually.

    HBO Countdown is nearly a better option than 24/7. On the subject of HBO Countdown, does anyone know where I could get its killer theme tune?
