What did you think of The Fight Game with Jim Lampley?

I'm not questioning whether its good for boxing. I just think its doing less than its potential

 

Arum playing Pac down trying to make it somewhat intresting with TB

 

Cheesy and Lampley ripped Floyd. Basically said Cotto was a cherry pick gone wrong
Schafael selling Guerrero and Alvarez :rofl

 

It was an error to interview Arum and Roach back to back. Arum is getting old and he speaks so slow, it's hard to stay focused. Same thing with Roach. They should've put the part with Kellerman, who's articulate and speaks with a lot of passion, between them. I loved the part with Jones Jr, it could be longer like on golpe a golpe.

The show should get better when/if they talk about something else than May/Pac.

 

I agree :deal

 

As much as I can't stand Lampley the show was pretty good ..Roy Jones peice was good explaining how fighters like Hopkins and Bradley are taught to use their heads not bad ..What did people think of the Gatti list ?

 

Done with it already, things were going well until Lampley created the Gatti (Warriors list of current fighters) and added Mayweather to that list.... NO sir thats a slap in the face to fans across the board and a slap in the face to Gatti himself who is likely rolling over in his grave as we speak

 

Yeah im sure the people who don't have a bad thing to say about Floyd were the ones that put him on that list ..I think someone said it best in another thread the Cotto fight was a cherry pick that nack fired

 

No it wasn't. It was boring, yes, I'll give you that but that's because serious boxing fans already have the latest news. But it wasn't a waste of time in a sense that important facts and opinions from pundits are served to casual fans who may not have detailed knowledge of the sport. Lampley's interview with boxing promoters give these fans a different perspective on the Pac-Floyd mess. Often times when I talk to friends about boxing they look at me like I'm full of **** when I bring up Bob Arum. If they were to see and hear someone credible speaking about promoters as having a significant impact on negotiations it helps them understand how complicated things can be in the world of boxing.

 

I liked it, nothing "New" for us here on the forum... But to a casual this show would definetly appear like a behind the scenes look into the fight game.

Side note:
Gave me the opertunity to watch Bradley's profile HBO did on him before the program started... Timmy's dad is going to be the break out star of this 24/7.

 

One thing I did find a bit off was the layout. Lampley looks like he's in Lex Luthor's bathroom with some fancy ass tables all around and an ominous screen in the wall. I thought we were going to have a wooden desk with fight posters all over the walls, Lampley close up, or in a chair with a dark backdrop. I find him looking awkward and small in the vastness of that sterile window-fitted room with lots of tables and space, but nobody there but him.

 

Kellerman and Arum were the low points in the show.
Overall a good first show.

 

it was a cherry pick that back fired, *****s will not admit that... the way I see it Floyd vs Manny now, Manny knocks the **** out of him

 

No they won't.."Invincible Men only exists in Movies " Best line ever !


Ah as far as the fight I don't think that will ever happen..

 

I expected more than just interviews. I wanted to hear stories about boxers past and present, testing, cheats, rise, decline and resurgence of boxing. I was bothered by the Gatti list when Floyd was added to the list. I'm a huge Mayweather fan but come on, Floyd isn't exactly a leave-it-all-in-the-ring kind of fighter.
