Did being in "The Contender" help or hurt???

[BritishBoxing92]

Sergio Mora, Peter Manfredo, Alfonzo Gomez, Sakio Bika, and now Jessi Brinkley.....these are all kats that were on the show that made some type of noise after....some look at these kats and automatially associate them as characters in a show....not REAL boxers......others have heard first heard of them and follow them only because they first saw them on the show......

Question for who ever wants to chime in....did the show help or hurt these kats????

Was good for them to be Contenders...

Well it certainly couldn't hurt right??? at least that's how I see it.....

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

Actually your hella right....it seems like the first season go much more hype and many more dudes to come out of there.......the last contender was bull****....I don't even know if they did the HW version ..did they???

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.

I doubt that kat is on here....but im sure he would say it helped.....who the hell was Ishe Smith before the show???

but then again he did look like a poosey on the show so maybe it didn't help HIM directly....hahahaha

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!
