Image: I've changed my mind about purchasing Pacquiao-Bradley after watching the 24/7 episodesBy Chris Williams: After watching the first two Pacquiao/Bradley 24/7 episodes on HBO, they’ve convinced me not to waste my money on purchasing the Manny Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley fight on pay-per-view on June 9th and instead save my money to use it on better things. I hate to say it but the Pacquia-Bradley 24/7 episodes have been so bad that I don’t even want to watch the fight anymore if I have to pay.

Neither of these guys are interesting me and watching them on television in the 24/7 episodes is about as interesting as watching paint dry. I’m really thankful that their promoter Bob Arum had HBO make a Pacquiao-Bradley 24/7 series because if I hadn’t seen it and noted how boring these guys are, I’d have probably went blew the $59.95 on watching this fight. But thank god I saw the first two episodes, noted how dull they were and changed my mind.

Bradley isn’t really boring per say, it’s just that whoever is the one responsible for producing the 24/7 episodes, is wasting film by taping Bradley while he drones on about his family and childhood. If I was in charge, that stuff wouldn’t even had made it on film.

There would be little editing because I would shut down the tape each time Bradley started with the family bit or his tough childhood. And with Pacquiao, as soon he picks up his guitar, the tape is turning off. Or if he brings up religion, forget it, the tape is being turned off. None of the preaching stuff would make it on film. If that’s all Pacquiao does each time the camera is pointed at him, then I’d use Alex Ariza and Buboy to take over the series. I couldn’t let Roach do it because he’d probably be gloating too much and bragging. We don’t need none of that.
