Is Khan likely to get a 24/7?

It wasn't a 24/7 man, just because someone titled a video on youtube wrong doesn't mean you are right.

 

So it wasn't called 24/7, I stand corrected. I just don't see how's the title relevant to my opinion that it was boring. BTW it was produced and styled like 24/7 and I had the same problems with it. It's way over the top especially compared to Fight Camp 360 (real sports documentary), and it costs money that could be thrown in for f*cking fights. We had 3 expensive HBO docu-dramas this year but 0 Boxing After Dark shows, that's my problem.

 

24/7 is run over a 4 week span leading up to the fight. This was a single one hour long special used to promote the ppv. Its apples and oranges, and doesn't take away from any bad or wcb shows.

 

And jesus man at least have some consistency, 360 costs showtime money too why aren't u bitching they didn't dump that into a few shobox cards instead.

 

24/7 is way more expensive and it does take away money from other shows, don't know what's hard to understand there. Look at HBO's calendar. Showtime had twice as many shows this year with 3rd the budget.

 

Please provide actual information that it takes away from them putting on any other cards. Please provide information detailing how much money 24/7 takes to produce. Please provide information that shows the amount of PPV units sold through it doesn't totally offset the cost. Please provide any sort of factual information at all.

 

Like do you understand how marketing works? In business you advertise in order to boost the profitability of a product. It takes a little start up capital, but the aim is to reach out to people who otherwise wouldn't see/purchase to product in the hopes that the increased revenue will be greater > the cost of advertising. Do you get all up in arms when Pepsi makes a commercial because that money could have been spent making up new sodas? This is how you make money.

 

I have no factual information since networks don't go public with their costs, but it's a fact that they have a fix boxing budget per year and if they spend part of it for expensive Hollywood-styled docu-dramas, it takes away from other shows. Not that hard to understand, right? Contrary to popular information HBO gets a relative small share off PPV income, and HBO's 2010/2 was crippled by budget issues. And even the money Time Warner makes off PPV they don't put back into the yearly budget. Look at the programming up to Pac-Margarito, and it took like forever to somehow cough out like 1.8M for, Martinez-Williams II, a Huge fight. HBO is generally known for high production costs and having some knowledge how expensive fancy TV shows are, 24/7 surely outcosts a BAD show that puts on 2nd tier brawlers for a relative small fee + the usual costs. Maybe it outcosts them multiple times. I won't estimate numbers because I could be well off, but I'm not off saying that the 2nd half of 2010 was crippled mainly by the money the 2,5 24/7 shows took away from the budget. Feel free to come up with numbers yourself to prove me wrong.

 

And there i was thinking it was the best 24/7 and why the rest are not as good

a 3 episode 24/7 would be nice.

 

It's a Division Unification bout.

It would be stupid NOT to have one.

 

No - unless he gets more popular or fights a more popular fighter.
Or the ratings for the fight was unusually high.

The live gate of 4,632 does not bode well for any 24/7 considerations.

 

But he's managed to beat Maidana AND is the only fighter Alexander/Bradley would be looking to fight to unify the division.

Being a champion gives him that right, irrespective of what you or I say about it. :good

 

That is an utterly naive concept. 24/7 has nothing to do with being a champion. You are confusing ABC belts with HBO 24/7.

It is about popularity and expanding the popularity of boxing to mainstream audience- to people who would not normally order a boxing PPV event.

Hasegawa is a champ. Does he have the right also?

 

Crimson,him being a champion is the is the REASON Bradley or Alexander will have to face him to unify the division and HBO knows this, and so does the rest of the boxing world. There is nothing naive about that
