    I have basic ass cable and get the versus channel.

          Much thanks to Versus Channel.

          This show has been great for its competitors and great for boxing. Just goes to show how much hype can hype a boxer but at the end you can either hang with the best or not. Great show very happy to hear VS picked up the show. This means at least to me that this show is a it and im sure Stallone and Leonard are happy for its popularity its good for boxing too.

            I just am sick of getting reamed. I will wait for a bit I guess.

                Yep I will support it, even if it was on the lifetime pkg. I got direcTV and i got the plus DVR pkg and it includes Versus.. It ain't that bad since i like the replays of old Top Rank bouts they show everyweek....

                  I think the producers of the show really like boxing, most other production companies would have thrown in the towel already.

                  I like the contender series but there are a few things I would hope they change to the format. First, show the complete fight with out editing, I'm sure a fight between 2 hungry fighters is enough drama. Second, please no former contenders, they should only allow fighters with 10 fights or less. Bringing new faces to the scene is what is needed!

                    Cheers to Versus for stepping up interest. I added Versus and ESPN Classic a few months ago for 50 cents more a month,glad to know more boxing will continue on these channels.
