    Man, look at NBC's weak "The Contender" site



    I kept holding out hoping that this show might be good but after reading this it sound as awful as TNGC.

    Look at the way they spell Ali's first name. What the hell is Burnett talking about here, anyway?

    Should of known that anything involving Ray Leonard's massive ego was bound to suck.

    I enjoyed the next great champ until Otis came back which completely defied the rules.

    The Contender will flop and will get cancelled, NBC cans shows that got ratings in the 8 million mark, Hell Joey is even on the **** can list after the ratings dive it took.

    I dont expect this one to stay on to long nor do I expect it to get moved to Bravo.

    If this shows stays alive it is due to the part of Sly and the fact that Ray Leonard is NBC'S poster boy in his prime....

          man ima watch it anyways. You gotta support anything thats about boxing that comes up in TV, If not you wont see any boxing except for pay per view. If theres a support in boxing you will see more channels showing real boxing like the big channels like ABC, NBC, and CBS. So go out and support

              Actually the list of fighters they have is impressive, some of them actually have a chance at becoming world champions, unlike the bums they had on Oscar's show.

                    There will be a twist to this show by having the great Ray Leonard coming out of his 34th retirement and winning yet another close decision.
