Naah, it is just a one off special event with the boxers fighting for their country to try and win the 'Sugar Ray Leonard Cup' for either Britain or the US. I think that Warren is hoping to make this a yearly money-spinner, and with Ray Leonard on board, I reckon he might be on to it, especially if the stars from the previous year's 'Contender' series are on board.
The ironic thing is that if this does become a yearly event and us Brits absolutely suck and lose 3 or 4 years in a row, it's an absolute certainty that when we finally win the cup our best British fighter in the tournament will win Sport's personality of the year

10 year undefeated reign as world champ means fuck all to the British public, win an annual event competing against just one other nation then your a fucking national hero, go figure
