Bosses of Sylvester Stallone's upcoming boxing reality show
are hoping to attract an audience the sport has never been
able to capture in large numbers - women.
"The Contender", which is set to debut later this
year (2004), features 16 fighters competing for a $1 million
prize with mentoring from Stallone and boxing legend Sugar
Ray Leonard.
And Leonard insists the premise of the show will lure the
many females who would otherwise find boxing a turn-off.
He says, "Women will watch this. It's not about boxing.
It's about people who just happen to box to put food on the
table, to pay bills, to pay rent."
