      even if you dont like the contender, it's show about boxing and will help the sport, even if its minimal..... it certainly isnt going to hurt it any with all the black eyes it already has...
      I'm as big a boxing fan as anybody else here but I just can't watch that show. I don't think it's going to help the sport but I also don't think it's going to hurt the sport.

        i can understand not liking the show, but some people are just HATING on it... there's no way its going to hurt boxing any and i think it helps it by showing that boxing isn't all money grubbers(king) or crazies(tyson)

          That's true but how many people that don't watch boxing but watch The Contender do you think are actually going to become real fans of the sport?

            The Irony is that the guy who killed himself has probably set his daughter up financially in death, in a way he may never have been able to in life. I bet that little girl makes a fortune from the trust fund being set up for her by the contender people and all of the donations from viewers.

                  yeah, he will have accomplished what he wanted, securing a better life for his daughter, sadly he won't be there to share it...
