    Question for who ever wants to chime in....did the show help or hurt these kats????
    Was good for them to be Contenders...

            I think it benefited the fighters from the first series more. They had a lot more exposure.

                I think it was good for the fighters, most of them wouldn't have been names without it. It might have been good for boxing too, brought in alot of viewers to a sport most networks are afraid to air.

                    Well it was cruisers last time out, and Troy Ross looked pretty devastating all the way through,and his reward? fighting some journeyman back in Canada and managing to lose any momentum he may have built up on the back of winning the damn thing!
