Looks like ESPN canceled The Contender...

If you are a fan of boxing then you should atleast respect the show and realize the potential it has to attract new fans to the sport. I hope someone picks up The Contender, I really enjoy the show.

I enjoyd the first series. I think its a decent show.

it was good for boxing... look at how the ultimate figher helped the UFC... if you didnt like it, dont watch it, but wishing it away is just stupid if you're a boxing fan....

The show still has alot of untapped potential that can be fixed with a new production team. The show focused wayy too much on living the dream of fighting on tv or being a world champ. But if they focused on the nitty gritty and got a couple of trainers with a foul mouth and unusual training methods like mickey from the rocky movies and the show can be a big hit.

IF you dont like reality shows...dont watch them. There were several fans of the Contender series. It would be nice bring it back for fans of the show.

I liked the first season but after that it was pretty lame, it did produce Manfredo/Mora 1 and 2 which were both good fights and Bika/Codrington which was up for FOY, so it did produce something for boxing

I think it's a joke too man. Too much editing & all those sound effects every time a fighter lands a punch is just straight up cheezy to me. Yup, along with that lame ass action music during the fight.

I'm sorry man but that show is a joke, regardless of whether or not it has legit fighters. I'm so tired of reality TV. I think it's a joke too man. Too much editing & all those sound effects every time a fighter lands a punch is just straight up cheezy to me.

I'm sorry man but that show is a joke, regardless of whether or not it has legit fighters. I'm so tired of reality TV. I liked the second season of that show. My only 2 gripes about it would be that they show the fights in their entirety which they eventually fixed and that they get sugar ray leonard more involved with the show. They made him out to be an inspirational father figure but he didnt actually do much inspiring except for hand out prizes to the winners of every round. Still a good show with alot of potential yet to be tapped into. And the fighters on that show arent stupidass frat boys that get drunk and trash the house every season like on the ufc reality show.
