Fight Camp 360 on primetime CBS (8pm) did HORRIBLE ratings

[ThePrince]

Yup. Margarito looked horrible his last 2 fights, but HBO was able to play the "redemption" angle with that and they were able to make Pac look like he was distracted and wasn't training 100%. Add that with the size factor and 24/7 actually made it look like Margarito had a chance and that hyped up the PPV.

Fight Camp hasn't really done anything interesting. They've just put Pac's people talking about how great he's training and talk about how Mosley is surrounded by really good people. Such horrible hype.

They could've atleast tried to make Mosley look like a live underdog or something to make this fight remotely interesting...

That's the great thing about 24/7 (besides the high end production), they tell stories- they pick a theme for each fighter and the fighters and wax poetic about it. That draws people in, love the fighter or hate, makes you feel some sort of attachment to them and builds up the fight to be more than just a scrap for $. Fight Camp is purely documentary, but I thought the latest episode was great and dug deeper than just 'hey look at what Manny did this day'. The first 2 were eh, and the second was a waste of time, but the 3rd episode was quality stuff IMO.

But 24/7>>>Fight Camp, but Show is pretty new to the doc series, so maybe practice makes perfect.

I think in boxing, that's called 'promotion'.

I call it more reason why it was wack

Sort of like if the Cleveland Cavaliers tried to sell tickets for next season using footage of Lebron James or if Liverpool showed highlights of Fernando Torres in red to sell tickets.

HBO are pros when it comes to hyping up fights or fighters. They're the best period. This is why I was so pissed off when it went to Showtime because I knew the hype would suck and I wouldn't get into the show. I was right. This thing is gonna bomb on PPV for sure and I've known this since the fight was announced to be on Showtime.

Cotto vs. Mayorga would of done better on HBO too.

I cant sit through it. I got 2 episodes recorded and I have no interest in watching it. I always end up watching reruns of The Office. The show format is just boring.
