    Did you expect a face off from Oosthuizen and Gonzales?

    IDK, if this was the case im sure he would have took the show to showtime to rub it HBO face instead of all access

    HBO has part ownership too. He can't take it, but they can't play it.

    Respectfully disagree with you there. I might not find it as 'entertaining' in a hollywood kind way when a star like Mayweather is on and acting up to the cam. But I still find watching the prep of fighters like Marquez and Bradley to be extremely interesting, JMM has also improved his english a lot which helps.

    I find Pac boring, I'll agree with that, he always seems like a robot to me... like he actually doesnt give a **** or is so guarded on what to say or do by his people he just bores. However Brandon is sure fire entertainment, I'm a fan of him and the Garcia camp so will tune in for that side of things.

    No he doesn't. Its HBO's. Floyd had a part in the idea around it, but HBO owns the right to 24/7. To think otherwise shows idiocy.

    I loved Face off between Sergio and Chavez. Haye Wlad was cool too.

    I don't think he does as that is an HBO signature even though Floyd suggested it and if that was the case it would of been called 24/7 on SHOWTIME with him and the Ghost:smoke

    Face-Off & 24/7 can be entertaining, but it does not really mean anything, only the fight means something................talk is cheap..............

    No he does not and even if he did it would be the name '24/7'

    Call it something else

    Showtime did that Super Six 360 thing.

    Lol You think Floyd has legal rights to the production of 24/7? Kicking around ideas to the CEO, and claiming legal rights to something are world's apart. Get some business sense kid.

    24/7 will be back when the moderately big fights are back. HBO wil put money in only when the returns on profit are available, obviously. Pacquiao v Rios will have one. I can't think of anything on the horizon that will do big numbers.

    When is the last time HBO even had a fight on? Not counting that thing from China I can't even remember. Between them and shotime pretty much the only thing on in the last couple months was the triple-header on shotime (which was awesome) I thought that during the summer they would want to get some fights on before football season, but I guess not. Very disappointing summer
