Just watched it, too bad. Great show.
And, man, he's going to be 59 in July.
Doesn't look it.

Let's clarify -- Stallone said there won't be a Contender II .. but this season's show hasn't been canceled. They'll be airing every episode. Your post did not adequately explain this.

Sly Says: "No Mas" It's Over

Sly was on Larry King this eve.
When asked about the Contender, Sly said
Please don't ask me about the Contender.
Sly said it will not be on next year.
He said what killed them was the moves they did from weekday to weekend.
Sundays killed the show. He said had they kept the show running after the Apprentice, the show would have twice as many viewers today.
Sly said that people are just to busy on Sunday nights getting ready for the weekday to come.

Sly said he does not know who to point the finger at for these decision.

Larry King moves on talking about Sly's life.


The show closed with Larry King asking sly if there was anything that he had not done in his life, sly said he wish he could of changed some things he had done.
Then he said he wished the contender would of been continued.
Not because it was such a financial bonanza but becuase of what the show stood for and what the show was about.

There you have it folks. Straight from the horses mouth.

No Season II folks

A quote from Peeta.
"Where do I go from here?"
Peter Manfredo Jr. Episode one.


RIP contender.

PS Larry King was the only host I have seen that really love the show.
He was also the only person that really seemed interested in Nitro Turpin and Sly talked about Nijai for the most I have heard anyone talk about Najai for some time.

May he also rest in peace along with the show
I am sad.

Comming soon....?

Now petitions are being made and people are emailing NBC

""sly said he wish he could of changed some things he had done""

My bets on things he did but regretted doing would be:
1. marrying that psycho Brigette Neilson
2. that porn movie Sly did for $200 when he was 25.

He said had they kept the show running after the Apprentice...

That would've never happened! NBC would never move ER, which has run on Thursday nights for what... 11 years to make room for a new untested reality show.


Still, it's too bad they didn't put in on Mondays, Wednesdays or something else. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.


Perhaps, it will return in the future. It is a Mark Burnett production.

That just sucks, last weekend I thought I saw a commercial for the next Contender it was about auditions or try outs for the Season 2 show. I really hope that they can bring it back! I love this show!!!

Hey,

Could someone post and let me know who fought tonight and the results. I forgot to watch.

"RE: Sly on Larry King Live: Contender's been Cancelled"
Posted by UsmcWife on 05-15-05 at 09:47 PM
It was Gomez and Manfredo. I am pretty sure that it was 4-3, there was 7 rounds tonight. Manfredo won!

Thanks for the reply, will the other two guys fight next week? and when is the championship bought? Do you know how many fighters they are bringing back for the championship under card?

P.S.
How can one remove the little quote next to our user ID. What sicko came up with that?

There's a thread on our Help Forum that explains more. The only way to not have it show up beside your name is not to post. It goes by every poster and is part of the quirkiness that is RTVW.

HEY!!! Thanks for the spoiler. You could have warned others you were posting a spoiler! I'm in California, and I was about to watch it in about 10 minutes. Now you've spoiled it, and now I'm not watching it. Thanks for nothing!

I love boxing, and these guys are pro's.

Whoever came up with the idea, sorry.
It sure was better than the love boat reality show, and a lot
of the others.

Re: flipxcyd
I understand your pain and they (East Coast peeps) were "urged" not to post anything until after the P.S.T. show aired for instances just like this...But in reality you have to know people are going to be talking about it right afterwards (or even during)which is why I avoid the website around at least 4:00 P.S.T.

Whatchu doing going on here 10 minutes before it's supposed to air over here, anyway?!? Silly rabbit, you should've known betta'!
That's all on you, main.

Don't worry, we still have next week not to f*ck up.

Experience is a part of life. To live and learn and not redo our f*ck-ups.

First of all, EVERYONE should be abiding by the rules on this message board. At least give the courtesy in the subject title to say there is a possible spoiler. Had I known, I wouldn't have read it. How would I know from a Larry King Live thread that a spoiler would be in it? I'm just saying is just give common courtesy to the others who haven't watched it yet. I'm totally aware of special message boards for spoilers. I do read them. I read them for Survivor, Amazing Race, and Apprentice. I have to admit it's fun to read, but for Contender, I really don't want to know. In that post I left originally, it may look like I bust a vein in my brain, I just wanted to express in some way how I felt about it. Oh well, move on. I already got over it.

My understanding and experience has always been that as soon as the show is over on the East Coast, then posting 'spoiler' threads and/or posting 'spoiler' information in existing threads is fair game. Most people what to discuss the show immediatelly following the show.

That is a drag that you saw a spoiler before watching the show. But I agree that you didn't protect yourself. You were surfing at a dangerous time, and what did you think would be in the message that responded to the question "Who fought tonight and who won the fight?". Unless you were reading the messages out of order, it seems obvious that the next message might be a spoiler.

Having said that, I would still recommend that you watch the fight. Skip all the "families at the beach" crap, and watch the fight. The move to 7 rounds is good, the rematch factor was good, and chance at final 2 made both fighters hungry. The winner was fully deserving, but the loser showed a lot of heart. Much better than their first fight. Now I want to see them fight again after the show, just like I want to see those two heavyweight finalists from the UFC reality show final. (Now THAT was a war).

Sorry about the spoiler, I didnt even think about it, didnt mean to ruin the fight episode for you or anything! But there is no need in getting pissy, no harm no foul, I wont do it again!
