The odds of The Contender returning next season are looking better all the time. On Monday, July 18th, ESPN announced it was close to acquiring the rights for a second season of “The Contender.”
My guess is that if ESPN picks it up, Sly won’t appear each week. I say this for two reasons: 1] ESPN‘s budget won’t match NBC‘s and 2] Sly is gearing up for some major film work.
Still, I’m hoping that The Contender is able to make a comeback! – Craig
