lets hope it happens
don't know much about the prizefighter series, but isn't it basically the same thing as the contender?![]()

The Contender, although I watch it...is so blindingly bad. They tried too hard to make it appreciative for the non boxing fan to like, by focusing more on story line then the actualy fights, and then running the fights in slow motion, with goofy sound effects, thus lacking all the natural thrill of the hits, pace of fights, and realism it required IMO.
It was just produced sooo terribly for this sport. Haven't seen the prizefighter, but I like the idea. I think if it could happen in that sorta format, and go mainstream in the US, it would be great for boxing. Bring in new fans.
Prizefighter is similar to the Contender in the standard of fighter, you usually have one or two ex superstars or season pro's looking to make one more go to the top a couple of journey men and a couple of promising youngsters. But the difference is it's all in one night.
I could deffo see this working HBO or Showtime or even ESPN should get a series going where they have a weight class every couple of weeks, like i said before your not going to get the top top fighters but Im sure there would be lots of willing world class fighters who are in need of the exposure.
For example I think it would attract the likes of Brewster and Toney in the heavy division who are sort of in limbo and a run in a national televised show like Prizefighter is just what they need.
Yes! It's creative and that's what we need. Creativity.
