Its an awesome show, maybe it might even help bring boxing back to maintstream.
On tonights show a nobody named alfonso gomez sent peter madrone (or some shit like that) home, the latter is supposedly a really good fighter.

I read that one of the guys in that show killed himself because he didn't win.
Mark Burnett is a freakin genius and since when isn't boxing mainstream? Najai Turpin (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/21/tv.contender.suicide.ap/) is the boxer that commited suicide. The Contender (http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Contender/) - i thought this was going to be another cheesy reality show with a bunch of washed up toughman boxers but the talent pool is a little deeper than i expected.

no it was a black guy from philly
i dont think he killed himself because of the show though.
Boxing used to be mainstream, it has dropped horrendously ask the average joe to name 4 current fighters who are good, he willl be able to name maybe 4.

I cant understand why Najai commited suicided, especially after watching this episode. I know he lost, but after the loss in the locker room, he was running around so his kid would chase him, and he was smiling the whole time.

yes it does because he got eliminated tonight, and its more like 1 month after the fact, and no need to argue over this.

just so you are informed
msnbc (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6989219/%E2%80%9D)
the popular theory is that the girlfriend and him were fighting over custody of his daughter.
