    I feel that Fightcamp 360 is a better put together, and more in depth show than 24/7. Showtime just outdoes HBO in every way possible nowadays.

    Besides the super 6, they also did one for the recent Fedor fight.

    I pretty much skipped all of the Pac-Cotto 24/7's and I'm not too keen on watching Showtimes either. I got better shit to do with my time, like get in some of this new Call of Duty.

    Just watched the latest one. I like the programme a lot, but it is a bit odd building up fights that have already happened. I guess all the footage they got was too much to quickly edit into something that could have been shown before the fights.

    Yeah, I did happen to catch that. It was definitely planned, like Cotto wanted all the fags out there to want his ass or something. Maybe on his next 24/7 he could outdue JMM and drink a glass of cum.

    this last 24/7 was terrible.

    I swear everytime I saw Cotto he was at the pool with his family and the Big Pun's offspring. :lol:

    the only interesting part was the coverage of the beef between Koncks and Ariza in Pacquiao's camp.

    I thought it was boring for 80% of the time. 24/7 is much better than this shit.

    I thought it was fantastic, and love the fact that - whereas HBO only giives you the "Before" (and most of it staged and scripted at that), Showtime gives you the before, during and after.

    Getting so much copy on Green and then showing him back up none of it, while watching DaBully and G.Leon squirm in their seats was absolute brilliance.

    I love the fact that Showtime doesn't feel the need to stretch out bullshit over 3-4 episodes (a big reason why HBO should simply return to its Countdown format). They crammed in six stories in a span of less than 30 minutes, and really didn't leave out a whole heck of a lot.

    Different tastes for all, but I absolutely don't get how anyone can call FC360 boring while finding 24/7 entertaining.

    The only 24/7 series I truly liked was Mayweather/Hatton. The show has become so formulatic and agenda-driven that (for me) it's impossible to enjoy.

    I prefer Fightcamp as well, it feels more authentic, more "real". 24/7 might do a better job of hyping up a fight, but as other have said it feel a bit over-dramatic and staged at times.
