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.
