LOS ANGELES, March 24 – Boxing legend “Sugar” Ray Leonard will appear tonight on FOX Sports Net's “Best Damn Sports Show Period” to discuss his new NBC reality show “The Contender.” The show will air at 9:00pm, 10:30pm and 11:30pm. All times are local.
ABOUT “THE CONTENDER”
“The Contender” follows 16 professional boxers as they come to a training camp to follow their dream of becoming a champion boxer. The driving force behind the series will be the pursuit of the American dream and the trials and tribulations they experience in that quest. The canvas of the show gives viewers a firsthand look into the real life hopes, triumphs and defeats of the contestants and how their single-minded, consuming commitment affects their families.
The final two boxers will fight live at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on May 24th for one-million dollars and the chance to change their lives and the lives of the people they love forever.
