    The popularity of the first season Contenders was largely due to the fact that it was in a primetime slot on network TV (NBC).

    Bika's season was on cable and had a lot less Boxing-laymen friendly dramatics and storyline to the show.. They changed basically everything so it would be more to the liking of already fully subscribed Boxing fans like oursleves.. If Bika fought it would only be us who would show up, basically..

    He's also an African of course, and virtually unknown.

    But he did get some measure of exposure, so it's a fair question.

      HaHA.. That confused the **** outta me..

        I mean Bika has more exposure in the US than Mundine and a Bika-Taylor fight would be better because of their styles.

        Edit: If you're trying to match Mundine up, the best opponent is Taylor.

                  Mundine vs Taylor of course. The contenfder makes you very popular but it doesn't make you more popular than the previous "golden child" of HBO, Jermain Taylor.
