24/7

While I don't like to be a conspiracy theorist, I question the show a little - and I mean just like 3%.  It seems like they are portraying Hatton as the loveable underdog who grew up in a pub and hasn't let his fame/money change him a bit.  Still the same old crazy brit who likes to brawl.  And they show PBF as this cocky motherfucker who is already rich and likes to talk shit.  They even show him having treatments on his hands, AND show him saying that his body is deteriorating and he's not gonna do this much longer. 

I just feel like every single person that I know that has watched those episodes is now willing to drop all their cash on Hatton at +190 cause he'll win and it's great value to boot.  I will be booking all their bets.

Degenerate.. I cannot comment on the health of PBF hands but I can assure you %100 Ricky is exactly the same as he has been portraid on that show/series.

He does a lot of work for charity,work for mentally ill kids,have you seen the young lad enter the ring with him  who has some sort of mental disability ?
He lives  close to me and has even played darts in our small local pub one sunday to raise a little  money for some childrens charity.
I honestly,this is the first time Ive said this on here,aint really that bothered if he loses,I just want him to come back safely because he is a credit to the modern sportsman.No bullshit.Everyone in the Uk is behind this lad just for how he handles himself,its as if he doesnt even know hes a superstar........it makes me sick when I see how some of the other overpaid sportsmen act.

The reason the money is flowing for Ricky is cause the English are v patriotic and its half way round the world to watch their lad fight,They hardly gonna be in Vegas without dropping a few $$$ on him.

Hey bro I realized that about the guy a while ago.  I can completely respect that.  I'd love to see him win and he seems like a good person, but I am just looking at the $$ at this point.

But I am glad that someone confirmed that he's actually like that...

very good post and i love Ricky Hatton and his story but he aint beatin PBF

Fact: HBO's Countdown and 24/7 shows are meant to do one thing; get you to buy the fight.  They show what they want to show and portray everything in the way they choose. 

I am not saying what they are showing isn't a true indication of the way PBF and Hatton are, but their sole intent in every one of these preview shows that they do is to get you to fork over the dough.  They try to point out flaws in the favorite and build up the underdog every time.  It was never more evident than in the Pac-Barrera Countdown preview show; a casual fan would walk away saying, "Wow, Barrera is as live a dog as there is."  To which any knowledgeable boxing fan that isn't bias would say are you out of your mind.  You would have thought that was an even money fight after the preview show that they put on. 

That being said I think Mayweather wins a close decision.  This fight isn't by any means the mismatch that many think it will be though;  Mayweather won't stop Hatton and the crowd plus Hatton's pressure/activity (even if ineffective) will influence the judges.
