Contender returning July 5!
Due to popular demand, Contender Partners will keep the Independence Day holiday going on Tuesday, July 5, with a night of boxing, at a Las Vegas site to be determined, featuring the stars of the boxing reality series "The Contender." Likely to compete on this card, which will be held at a Las Vegas site to be determined, will be the final four participants of "The Contender": Jesse Brinkley, Alfonso Gomez, Peter Manfredo Jr., and series champion Sergio Mora. "There is an overwhelming demand for this show and these fighters all over the world," said Mark Burnett. "We are incredibly excited to be able to bring you more championship boxing from "The Contender" so quickly."
The live finale of the series finished very strong in the ratings (based on fast national numbers), building to a 4.8 rating in the key demographic of ages 18 from 49 with a total audience of 10 million viewers by the end of the stirring seven round battle between Mora and Manfredo Jr. "The excitement generated by these fighters has been astounding and a testament to the adage that if you give fans quality action with world-class fighters, they will come out in droves to support it," said Sylvester Stallone. "We've watched the birth of the next generation of boxing stars this year on "The Contender", and July 5 will be a night no fight fan will want to miss." Tickets for the first "Contender" show sold-out in a mere five minutes, and seats are expected to go fast for the second live show also.

Yeah thats exactly what i tought,i mena i wanna se the Manfredo/Mora re-match but i dont wanna se the other same guys fighting, at least switch them around, i would like to see Ishe Smith/ Ahmed rematch and the Anthony/Jesse rematch, then it would be interesting, i like Jesse personally but i dont think hes a good boxer, he got lucky in his fights.
