1st Fightcamp starts 5 weeks before the fight. 4 Episodes to be made and 3 of them will be on "council" telly.:happy Huge, huge exposure for this fight! It better ****in deliver after all this build up! http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=6108286
Great exposure for the fight, Pacquiao, and the sport itself. Am I right in thinking they will air a 60-minute documentary on Pacquiao, too? I'm eager to see what route Fight Camp 360 will take with this.
...and Pacquiao as a boxing-god. And why wouldn't they? They've now got this massive exposure to a hoard of casual fans who won't know any better. By the time that bell rings at the end of the 12th (or the referee's waving a stoppage), the entire US will regard Pac as the ultimate face of boxing.
They are meant to be doing an updated 60 mins on Pacquaio and CBS breakfast show will be from Vegas in the final week. I expect a massive amount of pimping the fight that week on the breakfast show and the ads being played. Hopefully Fightcamp keeps it true documentary feel rather than going arty like the HBO shows. If my wife starts talking to me about the fight, I know its breached mainstream!
I'm probably looking forward to the build-up more than the fight itself. I'd like to see FC360 maintain it's current formula, but tweak it a little from their Super-Six episodes. It would be good if they could go just a little bit Hollywood, but still keep it real. I don't want them to make the same mistake as HBO, and become repetitive. If it's exactly the same as their Super-Six episodes, I'll be a little disappointed. This is their chance to go up another level and give us something we don't expect again.
I wonder how come only 3 episodes are being show on CBS, why keep the last one on cable? It's cool that they're building up a fight like this, it would be great if they are going to build up more of Top Rank's stable on those free-to air channels. I still don't like this fight though, I can't see it being anything but Mosley taking a beating at the hands of Pacman.
Hope they show the build up over here as i want to get primed & frenzied as i'am going too the fight:yep MGM, Wed/Mon. Block 3, Row N, Seat 11:deal Facing the Camera's & i hope to be on the night fight-fit as in a 14 pint minimum TECATA fueled up screeching hyena yelping condition:yep
