Roach to star in his own TV Series in AMC

[mikemurni]

I knew he beat the cancer but I thought he wasn't coming back for season 2? I must of misread or something. Thanks a lot bro.

The show would be produced by Peter Berg.. Notably known for his works in movies like Han****, Friday Night Lights, Rundown, and the Kingdom..Never realized that he's a fight fan...

And there is another (not reality) show about a boxer on American network FX. It's airing in January I believe.

This is a great thing,

One thing I've realized is that when the average fan or non boxing fan is brought behind the scenes and see's what goes on in the boxing world and learns about the characters, they become fans.

It's just like any sport, if people don't know the stars, no one will care.

I knew girls who use to watch the contender because they liked the sad stories about the fighters lives. There is still a market, boxing just does a terrible job of embracing it.

Exactly. this is good news. With this new show, The Fighter (fantastic movie!!) and the new boxing TV show coming soon, hopefully this will draw much needed interest into our beloved sport.

It won't.

Nobody gives a shit about boxing. And putting Roach on tv isn't gonna help. Everyone already knows his deal.

Plus he's boring.

Im surprised, I thought most of the people here already knew about this? Well anyways, this is really great stuff! AMC has been on a roll and I love their shows:

1. The Walking Dead
2. Breaking Bad
3. MadMen

And now I get treated with a boxing series?? How sweet is that?! That's icing on the cake for me!

Oh, and for the guy that says 'Breaking Bad' is the best show in AMC...I agree, but that was until 'The Walking Dead' came out. Now, breaking bad is the 2nd best show on AMC

roach the overrated trainer

Yeah, watching Roach isn't going to entertain. I'm not a fan of the younger Mayweather's arrogance but Roger and Sr. are funny.

lols, look at all these *****s gettin mad.

[Mayabang]

damn you critics here, this is a reality show series, not a ****** ass Comedy show starring Freddie Roach. I really don't get some of you people. I don't see how any fan of boxing can trash this concept of a show when it's the gateway to see and experience what goes in inside a boxing gym and real boxing training. If the idea of such concept bothers you, then why exactly are you a boxing fan?
