    HBO Sports is premiering a new four-episode run of its critically-acclaimed all-access series 24/7 on April 11. The new installment, Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7 is a boxing drama featuring Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton as they prepare for a junior welterweight bout in Las Vegas on May 2.
    "This latest edition of 24/7 features two of the most talented and personable fighters in boxing today," said Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports in a statement. "We look forward to bringing compelling storylines and personalities to our subscribers in what promises to be engaging television," he said.

    Pacquiao is a 30-year-old from the Philippines who is considered by many boxing enthusiasts to be the best pound-for-pound boxer in the sport. He recently defeated his boxing idol, Oscar de la Hoya. Hatton, also 30, is known as a tenacious fighter whose only loss came against famed fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Among the personal and professional storylines in 24/7 will be the boxer's relationships with their trainers, particularly between Hatton and his trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr.

    24/7 debuted in 2007 with De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7 and has since produced three more series: Mayweather/Hatton 24/7; Calzaghe/Jones 24/7; and De La Hoya/Pacquiao 24/7. The series has won praise from a number of media outlets including Newsweek and ESPN The Magazine. In 2008 De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7 was honored for Outstanding Edited Sports Special at the Sports Emmy Awards. Mayweather/Hatton 24/7 was also recognized for its outstanding camera work and writing.
    The show debuts at 9:30 p.m. on April 11. Subsequent episodes air April 18 (10 p.m.) and April 25 (9:35 p.m.). The final episode airs the night before the fight on May 1 at 9:30 p.m.

    The series is executive produced by Ross Greenburg and Rick Bernstein. Coordinating producer is Dave Harmon and producers are Scott Boggins and Bentley Weiner. Aaron Cohen is the writer.



    So guys what do you expect in this 24/7?

    Same Pacquiao rags to riches story, Hatton drinking problems, Pacquiao's government leeches talking craps, Hatton referring himself as a freaking third person over and over and over again, Pacquiao giving away money and turkey? Mayweather Sr. crazy annoying rhymings and talks that needs subtitle to understand, Roach slow trash talkings that needs subtitle to understand also.

    Your choice? :good :hey

    Then thats better, Hatton and Pac can easily just prepare themselves so THE EXCUSES won't come out later on.

    Coz Freddie and Mayweather would be doing the trash talking for them.
