I dont understand why people say the contender ******..

cuz the fights were edited?

The show wasnt for hardcore boxing fans..

It was made for the general public...

and it helped a lot

Dude if the Contender episodes were like this final during the whole show, it would be having a second season.

Wrong, The Condenters problem was their boxers, no personailty, no talent, just a big snooze, how many of todays Champions wear a Cowboy hat? They need to mix it up and put flavor into it, too bland.

No personality? What show were you watching, the Apprentice? Contender had plenty of drama and personality, it was the fights looking choreographed that ******.

The Apprentice had drama, back stabing, attuitude, fights, arguements, they have great personailties, you see American Idol right, Simons hated by the public cause hes rude and speaks his mind, but people tune in just to hear what he says, The Condenter had a bunch of plain suberban guys being humble to each other while training, each was like a soccor dad.

I think the Contender was good

They had Ishe the punk
Jesse the stud
Sergio/Alfonzo the humble mexicans
Najai--you know the story bout him
Basante-the backstabber and #1 daddy
Brent Cooper-the *** who lost to Strickland LOL!

etc.

WHHHATTT??? Yea the fights were edited, that did suck but you think that's why it wasn't good for boxing??? Okay let me EDUCATE you because according to you I am not a true boxing fan!

1)Do you know what the demographic for boxing is???

-Answer:Males 18-23 from rural areas. Not all those high class big paying ****s who only like seeing Mega Fights. So I do hope that these young males were watching these fights because then it would be more exposure to the sport of BOXING not EDITING!!!

2)How can you not realize that it's good to see how a "poor boxer" as you put, makes it big.

-That's REALITY. Boxing is not even made up of 25% of DLH's or Trinidad's, no it's made up of Juan's, Tyrone's, and Pedro's busting their asses off to make it to just one major fight in their lives!!!
What we see on HBO and Showtime are the mainstream fighters who have made it, what we don't see enough of are the up and comers who are not blinded by the envy of money and fight their ****in heart out minute after minute putting their heart and soul out as if it was their last fight!!! There are many out there waiting for that opportunity! Don't get it twisted I ain't saying that mainstream fighters don't show heart BUT I GURANTEE you if you watch those "unimportant fights" on Telemundo and Telefutura you see young, hungry, and heartful fighters who fight their ****in heart out!!!

Thanks you!! I could not have said it better myself.

Great fight. I think the contender was good for boxing. I work for an Insurance company & the amount of people that were drawn to this show from my job surprised me. Hopefully this will give boxing the attention it deserves. Do any of you think the highlights will make sportscenter?

first, mark burnett said the contender WILL be back a 2nd season, just obviously not on NBC.....

second, if you think the ratings were bad, imagine how'd they be if they focused on boxing, not the boxers and showed the entire fight, it wouldn't be the contender, it'd be just like any other boxing program.... the contender is the most watch show about boxing on TV, because it's different and focuses on the fighters(made for mainstream)... i can understand not liking the drama and the editing, but if they change that, the show will definately be gone....

You make a very valid point and I agree.
