I like the show and think it is a great opportunity for some good people.I agree though about the additudes....fcuking Mora is straight ***** and he walks around like he is some kind of Champ.......I hope he gets his fight with Taylor.....it will be the last we hear from him he will get KOed.
i hope the CONTENDER gets cancaled after season 2!

One thing you have to remember when watching the show is that it was not made to appeal to boxing fans, it was made to appeal to non boxing fans. That's why it has all the gimmicks and extra story lines (family, etc.). there were 12,000 people at the Staple's center to see the finale live and I'm sure the majority have never been to a match live before. So in the end it helps boxing because it increases it's popularity. If the non boxing fan becomes interested in these so so fighters then they will want to learn about the best fighters as well.Comment

Really the show is geared to non-boxing fans. If it was geared to real fans they would at least show the whole fight! The reality show Ultimate Fighter brought in a ton of new mma fans. If The Contender does that, it will be a good thing for the sport.Comment

no matter how much we think that show sucks it still brings boxing back into view for people who arent familiar with the sport. without more people noticing the sport it will continue to be a joke filled with phony champions and rigged scorecards, which is what we have now.Comment

double is exactly right..
i like the show personally.
the talent was walter wright, and steve forbes, ebo has decent good skills too..
i didnt see the first season.. but i heard it had much more talent..
they try n keep the show short and sweet... 5 rounders.. there not much a boxer can do in 5 rounds. you can only fight..
dino, relax yourself man.. so many people would jump at an opportunity like the contender.. if they make another one, ill watch it.. hopefully at a low weightclass.. i dont wanna see fat ****s like dino fight..Comment

I know UFC is celebrating after watching that boring card with Forbes. They are looking to steal casual boxing fans and make them UFC fans. Fights like these might do it. UFC reality show is 10 times better than contender.Comment
