Did they give a reason why no 24/7?

    Good question, 24/7 shits on all the other hype shows, yet then don't have one for "The fight of the century"?

    So? Those aint shit. They should be doing a 24/7 every week since it was signed. Biggest fight of the fucking century.

    I actually think the promotion of this fight was been horrible. I feel like they are just assuming the names will be enough. But it could be much more.

    There is a massive difference. The cinematography, editing, and overall production values of 24/7 shit on all the others.

    Agreed, it's really fucking weird actually.

    Maybe they're right and it will get obscene PPV numbers anyway, but I can't help but think they're overestimating it being enough.

    Even the biggest brands in the world have huge marketing campaigns, Coke etc, they don't just think "Ah, we're one of the biggest brands in the world, we don't need to do anything".

    It seems like HBO only has access to Pacquiao, and Showtime only has access to Mayweather. That must have something to do with it.

    Mayweather/Pacquaio At Last was pretty good, narrated by the same guy as 24/7, but no Mayweather interviews.

    same guy narrating hbos preview show who stars on one of showtimes newest hot shows. Go figure

    I stopped paying attention to 24-7 and the like years ago. Same boring pacquiao footage and same stupid mayweather jr shenanigans

    You can have both. I just hope they are doing behind the scenes documentary on this film. It would be great to see great shit for the rest of my life.

    They're airing behind the scenes Floyd stuff on Showtime. Doesn't look like you'll get one that covers both fighters.

    I haven't watched 1 minute of any of the build up crap. What are they going to cover that we haven't seen or heard over the past six years?

    Floyd has cars and money

    Manny loves Jesus
