Contender/Ultimate Fighter Probs
I dunno while I like seeing the full fights on UF .. the whole in house activity reminds me a bit too much of MTV's Road rules .. or Real Life
as for The Contender, IMO the shows just gotta cut the whole slow motion and the dramatic music during the fights
it's really over dramatized and I personally find it dumb as **** to see a SLOWWWW MOTIOOOOON of 2 fighters missing punches.

I liked the idea of the show but I felt that they didn't really focus much on the training/nutrition/habits of all the boxers, I'm more interested in that stuff than anything else happening in the show. I would like for the show to find another network but if it goes off the air I'm really not going to miss it much.

Wherever it is I will watch it.
People say HBO trumps Showtime, but where else can you watch ShoBox which actually pits viable contenders against each other?
It happens to an extent on The Contender, but surely not on FNF.
i just think HBO wins by default because I assume Showtime isn't on a lot of people's packages without an extra fee.
If they could put guys on ShoBox in a Contender type show, they'd do all right.
