    I really don't want to miss this one. Really don't. Except that "white boy" crap for which 'Nard owes a BIG apology, it would be great. Two very different personalities, great contrast. Trash talk written all over it. They are OLDER than DLH/Hatton/Mayweather, so maybe a WISER 24/7 that would be. ‘Nard and his love for boxing history is great. Both guys have a sense of humor. And so on…

    I have the feeling if there's no urgency at HBO for the hype (to buy the PPV) there won't be any 4 part show either...



    So...

    -What do you think? Would you like to see Hopkins and Calzaghe go at each other in a 4 part series to pump up an already exciting match-up?
    -Would you even consider paying for the card if you'd get a 24/7 show? :)
    -Or hell with this 24/7crap?

    Why do you want a 24/7 for Hopkins/Calzaghe? Do you want to turn potential fans away from the sport?

    It looking to be official.

    No PPV.

    No word on 24/7 but probably we'll miss this one.

    I would take free over PPV on this one - their personalities wouldn't make for an interesting 24/7 series, Hatton and Mayweather are about as diverse as you can get, which made the thing funny!
