What do people think of shows like the Contender

[CFH]

I liked the Contender when it first came out, though I lost interest pretty quickly. I think the cheesy, subjective editing and the way it was presented was all wrong, but I guess that's what happens when you try to put a sports-reality show on prime tv network tv.

Initially, it seemed to do a good job of getting casual sports fans interested in boxing, but it was never able to really sustain or build upon that initial interest. A guy I work with was really into the show at first and he and I still occasionally talk about the sport, but he doesn't follow it at all really.

It's great. Without it, i'd never have got see the fine piece of ass Sakio Bika goes home to every night.
